NOTE – all parts of the stove will become hot during use and care needs to be taken to avoid injury through
burning.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
Prior to lighting the fire for the first time, ensure that-
Installation and building work is complete.
The chimney is suitable and sound and has been swept and free from obstruction.
Adequate ventilation and provision for combustion air has been made.
That the stove installation has been carried out in accordance with Building Regulations and any applicable
local regulations as well as these installation instructions.
That chimney draw has been checked and within specification. (The stove has been tested at nominal
output with a flue draught of 12 Pa)
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING
THE FIRE, AND THAT YOU ARE CONFIDENT THE STOVE HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY.
ALWAYS WEAR A PROTECTIVE GLOVE WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.
Ignition (When New)
On day one, a curing procedure for the curing of paint must be followed:
3 small fires each with kindling and a couple of half normal size logs should be burnt, each lasting approx. 45
minutes to 1 hour. Between each fire, allow the stove to cool down slightly, allowing approx. 40 minutes cooling
between each fire.
After all three fires, allow to cool completely, then a normal fire can then be lit allowing the stove to get up to
normal temperature. Following this procedure will help the paint to cure properly, prolonging the life of the paint
surface.
Ignition (On-going, once above procedure has been followed)
Ensure all air inlets are fully open
Construct a pile of kindling in the middle of the grate using approximately 1kg of kindling wood
Light with a single chemical firelighter
Partially shut the door but leaving it cracked open slightly
After about 5 minutes or when the fire is well established, shut the door
After a further 3-5 minutes as the fire starts to die, add a further three larger pieces of wood weighing
approx 2kg.
Once theses logs are alight, and after about 7 minutes or so, a normal load of 4 logs weighing
approximately 3.8kgs in total can be added
Once this load is burning well, the Primary air vents can be closed, with the Secondary and Tertiary vents
left open.
Refuelling
Open the Primary air vents
Add up to 3.8kg of wood
