LIGHTING
On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the
silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This
is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room
should be kept well ventilated. At first only light a small fire and burn
it slowly for two hours to allow any residual moisture in the chimney
to evaporate. The lighting process is shown in Figs. 4-7.
When burning wood only, light the stove using dry kindling wood
and paper or fire lighters. It is recommended that you use
approximately 1kg to 1.2kg of kindling. Put the paper, or fire
lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover with a few small dry
logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 2). Light the paper or fire
lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a few minutes to
assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more quickly.
When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more small logs and
close the door, but leave the air control fully open.
When the flames are established around the smaller logs, load the
stove with larger logs to the required fuel load. Logs should be no
more than 75mm in diameter and 300mm long. Close the door.
Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.
Once long flames appear over the fire, reduce the air control to the
‘nominal output’ setting. Once the fire is well established - with each
log alight at the top - the air setting can be reduced again, depending
on the type of fire required. If at any stage the flames start to go out
or the glass begins to discolour, a higher setting is required. To
achieve this, pull the air control back out to re-establish a consistent
burn.
Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to
work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air
control to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not
leave the stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as
directed above to avoid excessive smoke.
When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base unless it is
becoming too deep, in which case some of it may be removed. If
burning authorised smokeless fuel, clear the grate and empty the
ashpan before relighting.
