Having learned where to find the controls, you are now ready to light a wood
fire in the insert, without filling the insert or neighbourhood with smoke.
You will need two pieces of newspaper, a small bundle of kindling wood and
several split logs. All of these should be as dry as possible; never use wet
wood, it will cause smoke, deposit tar in the insert and flue to become a
potential fire hazard.
Remember that your insert needs the help of a gentle push start in the right
direction until it warms. Do not expect it to be on auto pilot until it reaches its
operating temperature.

Ensure the ash pan is fitted and empty,
then securely close the ash pit door.
Set the Plexus control to maximum air volume and the air direction
lever to mid position, supplying air above and below the grate.
Lightly crumple two tabloid sized pieces of
newspaper and lay them in the middle of the
grate.
Resist the temptation to use more paper than
this, or to crumple it too tightly; doing either
will prevent the rapid development of flames
and will cause smoke to be produced.
