The UK Smoke Control Areas web-site (http:/
www.uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk) defines the location of smoke controlled
areas throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and lists all
fuels which are authorised for use in Smoke Control Areas.
INITIAL SEASONING
Following installation, and before regular use, the stove must be seasoned to
prevent cracking of the metal casting. This procedure should also be
followed if the stove has not been used for prolonged periods (during the
summer months for example), and is carried out as follows:
1. Light a small fire in the middle of the stove, well away from the sides.
2. Allow the stove to warm up slowly and evenly with the air controls almost
closed, avoiding intense flames.
3. Keep the fire burning for three hours or so, gradually increasing the size of
the fire using larger logs which will burn naturally but slowly, keeping the
stove on a low setting.
4. After a couple of days burning at this level, increase the brightness &
intensity of the fire gradually over the next 10 days.
Full strength fires should not be used until completion of approx 20 days of
mild use. Only from this time will the stove have been properly seasoned.
It should be remembered that this procedure should be carried out at the
beginning of each season of use in order to remove the moisture retained by
the metal during the period of non-use.
When used for the first time the fireplace may smell a little, due to gas being
given off. The gas is not toxic but the room should be thoroughly ventilated.
Let the fire burn with a high draught until no smells can be detected.
Take care not to open the stove doors too vigorously in case of causing
smoke spillage. If smoke spillage occurs after the fire door has been opened
this could be due to poor chimney draft. SEE TROUBLESHOOTING.
FIRE-LIGHTING WITH WOOD
1. Open the air controls.
2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable
quantity of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
4. When the fire is burning strongly, add further logs up to 10 mm diameter.
5. When the stove is really hot, close the front air control as required. Ensure
there are lasting flames until the wood becomes charcoal.
FIRE-LIGHTING WITH SOLID FUEL
1. Open the air controls.
2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers in the stove with a reasonable
