operating The Stove With The Door open
This stove should not be operated with the door open, we do not recommend this. This stove
is designed to be operated with the door closed as this gives improved efficiency and air
flows. Certain fuels such as wood and peat will burn better this way but it is vitally important
that you
do not leave the fire unattended with the door open at any time.
Always keep
the door closed and the handle in the locked position.
Controlling The Stove
The primary air vent slider on the front of the
stove door and the secondary and tertiary slider
bar under the door
(see Fig. 2)
control the rate
of burning and in turn the heat output. The clean
air wash is known as the secondary air control
and the Eco-Cleanburn is known as the tertiary.
These are fully controlled by the slider bar in the
centre of the stove. The front primary air control
slider should only be left fully open when lighting
or when rapid burning is needed. If the slider is
left open for long periods then over-firing may
occur. Once lit we recommend the front primary
air slider be left slightly open (1-2cm only), and
adjust accordingly to control the fire. The slider
should be moved to the left to open the vent, and to the right to close the vent
(see Fig. 1)
.
The door handle, control bar (air wash) and primary slider will heat up when the
fire is lit and running. But when you need to touch them to adjust or reload the fire
you must wear gloves.
Therefore to avoid injury please wear appropriate hand
protection when touching any part of the stove
as the body, the glass and the
primary air slider can get very hot.
refuelling
Keep the firebox well filled to maintain the fire
but for safety reasons it is important not to overfill
the stove, your fuel must not be spilling over the
top of the front grill or touching the door or glass
panel. Doing this could cause the fire to spill out
when opening the door. Overfilling can also cause
the glass to black up. Do not fill past the fill line,
which is 50mm below the tertiary holes as this
may restrict airflow to the Eco-Cleanburn bar.
(
see Fig. 3
).
When adding fuel ensure that the appropriate
protection is worn such as a heat resistant glove
and tools such as fire poker, tong or shovel are
used.
