the stack to enable it to dry out. Burning wet or
unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the
stove and chimney and will not produce a
satisfactory heat output.
AIR CONTROLS (SOLID MINERAL FUEL)
Solid mineral fuel burns most efficiently with the
secondary air control in the closed position. Always
de-ash before refuelling and do not let the ash level
reach the underside of the grate bars.
Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to
build-up will stifle the airflow through the Primary
air inlets and grate. This will eventually cause the
fire to die.
With some solid mineral fuels a residue of burnt fuel
or clinker will accumulate on the grate, allow the
fire to go out periodically to remove this.
IMPORTANT!
We cannot stress firmly enough how important it is
to empty the ashpan regularly. Air passing through
the fire bed cools the grate bars. Distortion or
burning out the grate bars is nearly always caused
by ash being allowed to build up to the underside of
the grate.
EXTENDED BURNING (SOLID MINERAL FUEL)
The stove can be banked up for extended burning.
When burning solid fuel, empty the ashpan. Open
air controls and let the fire burn brightly for a short
period. Refuel and close both air controls, the exact
setting required will depend on the fuel used and
the chimney draw so some practice may be
necessary. To revive the fire, open the air controls
until the fire is burning brightly de-ash if necessary
and refuel. Set air controls as required.
REDUCED COMBUSTION
In order to reduce the combustion of the fire to a
minimum, close the primary air controls, then close
the secondary air slider by moving the handle all the
way to the left. If the controls are left in this
position, the fire will receive the minimum of air and
will die down. If you want to revive the fire it is
recommended that the Primary Air control is open
first and then open the secondary air slider.
REFUELING
Add the new fuel to the fire and open both air
controls fully to allow flames to establish on the
new fuel. Once the fire is established and the logs
are blackened, set the primary air control to its
closed position and adjust the secondary air to give
the desired heat output.
Never leave the stove unattended until you are
certain that the flames are fully established.
Avoid refuelling on to a low fire bed as this may
cause excessive smoke emission. Ensure there are
sufficient embers to ignite the new fuel rapidly.
Alternatively add some more kindling before adding
larger pieces of firewood. Do not add firewood
above the level of the tertiary air inlets on the sides
of the stove. Exceeding this amount can result in the
production of excessive smoke.
EXTINGUISHING THE FIRE
In order to reduce the rate of combustion, close the
primary air lever and then the secondary air lever by
moving the handles all the way to the left. If the
controls are left in this position, the fire will be
starved of air and go out. If you want to revive the
fire it is recommended that the primary air control is
opened first, then open the secondary air slider.
WARNING!
The stove will remain hot for a considerable time
after the fire has been extinguished
RECOMMENDED SOLID MINERAL FUELS
Only authorised fuels may be used in UK smoke
control areas.
A list of authorised fuels can be found at
http://uksmokecontrolareas.co.uk/fuels.php
This stove has been independently tested and
approved to burn manufactured and natural
smokeless fuels that appear in the HETAS guide.
A current list of approved fuels can be found at:

Approval does not cover the use of other fuels
either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels listed
above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of
other fuels.
