Lighting The Stove when using Wood
Lay a fire of sticks and paper. Firelighters can be used if necessary. Check the secondary air
lever is fully open and the primary air vents partially open. Light the fire and as the fire
catches the paper you may then fully open the primary air vents.
When the fire has fully established and the logs are burning well shut the primary air vents in
the door and control the fire with the secondary air wash lever (if you are unable to sustain the
fire with secondary control it is very likely that your logs have a high moisture content).
When refuelling the fire, to ensure clean burning, the primary air control should be opened for
a couple of minutes so that flames are established on the newly fuelled logs. The primary air
should be closed once these flames are fully established and the logs have become blackened.
After refuelling, it is recommended that you do not leave the appliance unattended until it is
certain that the logs are burning well with a sustained flame.
The appliance works best by refuelling with two medium sized logs. With the secondary air
about 50% open, the logs should burn well for about 1 hour.
Please Note: For long periods of burning you will need to use seasoned hard wood. Longer
periods of burning may cause the door glass to blacken, but this can be cleared when you get
the fire back up to temperature and providing the secondary air control is slightly open this will
then stay clear.
When loading the fire be careful not to leave logs projecting over the log retainer as you may
crack the glass when closing the door.
When the stove is in use in the winter season we suggest 25mm (1”) of ash is left in the bottom
when cleaning, as a wood fire burns more efficiently on a bed of ash.
If in continuous use the stove will most probably only need de-ashing every 3-4 Weeks. This
is achieved by removing the log retainer and the plate under the door and shovelling the ash out
into a
non-flammable container,
or we suggest using an ash clean attachment which can be
plugged into your vacuum cleaner.
Warning:
Do not use your vacuum without this attachment.
Please note:
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing
embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few
embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke
.
