TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
These appliances have been developed to burn wood at a very efficient rate. The figures quoted here are from
test firings using beech logs with a moisture content of less than 20%.
The appliance is engineered using the latest manufacturing techniques and modern computerized machinery.
On some of the appliances there is a surround option. These are in various finishes including Italian ceramic tiles
and genuine soapstone finish. Soapstone is a soft-textured stone that possesses fantastic heat-retaining
properties. The absorbent stone holds heat extremely well. Even after the fire has gone out, warmth radiates from
all stone surfaces, ensuring an even, long-lasting heat supply. Another finish that’s available is a glass finish that
gives the appliance a modern contemporary look.

THE ‘AIR’ CONTROLS
The stove is fitted with two manual air controls that adjust the flow of air into the unit. It is very important that
these controls are fully understood in order to achieve the best results from your stove.
When operating the controls, ensure that they are used in small increments and not changed by large amounts
suddenly. Do not use them like an on – off switch.
It is important that the controls are used correctly.
The air controls are as follows:
•
PRIMARY
AIR
CONTROL
•
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL (AIR WASH)
There is a control for the ‘standard’ ventilator fans. See chapter 15 for details.
5 A
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL
see FIG.1. 1 A + 2A
The primary air control is found on the front of the appliance, just below the glass door on the left hand side; it is
in the style of a pull-push lever. This allows air to enter from below the grate across the ash drawer.
To open the
control pull the lever towards you, to close it push it in. This control is used mainly when lighting the fire.
The ash drawer and chamber must be regularly emptied, so that the ash does not obstruct the entry of primary
air.
5 B
SECONDARY AIR CONTROL
(pull-push lever) See FIG.1. 2A
The ‘secondary air control’ is also in the style of a pull-push lever.
This is found on the front of the appliance, just
below the main loading door on the right hand side.
Combustion air entering the stove through this vent will be directed down the inside of the glass panel, this is
known as the ‘air wash system’. The air helps to keep sooty deposits from sticking to the glass and obscuring the
view of the flames. Having clean glass also improves the heat radiation through it.
This control will be used when the fire is fully established
.
When the lever is pushed in it is open, to close, pull it
out.
