OVERNIGHT BURN
For overnight burn, load 4-5 pieces of
wood (approx. 150-200 mm in
diameter) into the firebox and burn on
high for 30 minutes, or more, until logs
are glowing red. Close air slide
completely and switch fan off.
On overnight burn or extended low
burn periods, it is normal for the door
to blacken or smoke up when the air
slide is shut down. To clean your
glass, simply drag hot coals forward
for radiant heat, reload with smaller
logs and burn a high fire until the glass
begins to clean. This can take up to 90
minutes.
ASH REMOVAL
To avoid ash spillage, clean the ash
out of the firebox when it has built up
to the bottom of the ash lip.
Ash is produced in greater quantities
when you burn wet or green wood,
dirty wood, wood with a lot of bark or
rotten wood. Do not burn rotten or
treated wood.
Excess ashes should be removed
when necessary. Ashes should be
placed in a non combustible container
with a tightly fitting lid and moved
outdoors immediately to a location
clear of combustible materials.
Empty ash approximately every 3-6
weeks or when necessary.
USING YOUR HEATER
LIGHTING YOUR FIRE
1.
Open air slide fully: push air
control to right hand side.
2.
Open door, place one small log
on each side of firebox. Place
crumpled newspaper on base of
firebox, then place several small
pieces of dried kindling on top of
paper in a pyramid style, with
more paper on top again. This
creates a fire quicker.
3.
Clear area of combustibles. Light
fire and leave door slightly ajar to
let extra air in to start fire.
4.
Once kindling is alight and
burning brightly, add some small
split wood.
5.
Let fire establish itself, then start
placing larger logs on for desired
f i r e a n d c l o s e t h e d o o r
completely. When the fire is
burning well with a good coal
base and the heater has reached
it’s operating temperature, the
fan can then be turned on.
6.
Once you have reached your
required temperature, the air
slide can be pushed gradually to
the left. This will restrict air flow to
the fire and reduce heat output.
To ensure correct burning, always
load timber from front to back (so you
are looking at the end of the log).
RELOADING YOUR FIRE
Before reloading, it is always best to
switch the fan off and open the air
slide fully. Open door carefully and
place wood in fire with gaps between
logs. Don't throw logs into fire.
Reloading should only be done onto a
hot fire with glowing coals.
Allow logs to burn for about 30
minutes before closing down air slide.
IN CASE OF FLUE FIRE
In the case of a flue fire, do not panic.
Immediately close the air slide down
to its lowest setting. Do not open the
door.
Once the fire has extinguished, you
should have your flue system
inspected by a qualified service
person.
