Always try to position new logs so that they are in  the path of existing flames by bridging the flames where 
possible. Do not over fill the insert with wood expecting it to burn for an extended time, it will produce little but 
smoke and tar. If the insert is running with a low air volume setting, turning up the volume for a few minutes 
whenever you load new logs will encourage them to ignite faster. Do not be afraid to put logs towards the front 
of the fire, the glass will stay clean and the visual interest will be increased.

Setting the Burning Rate

Setting the air volume rate on the Plexus should always be done with reference 
to the condition of the fire. You cannot expect to turn the air to maximum and 
the  insert  increase  its  heat  output  if  the  fire  in  the  insert  is  ash  with  a  few 
glowing embers.  Neither should the insert be expected to shut down a huge fire 
immediately the air supply was restricted, without producing copious amounts 
of smoke. Unlike driving a car that accelerates and brakes, wood burning should 
be regarded as something that gathers and losses momentum gracefully, and all 
adjustments to the burning rate should be made accordingly.

Putting a large quantity of wood into the insert and turning the air setting to low 
will inevitably result in smoke as the wood is heated with insufficient air to burn 
with. Always wait until the wood is producing flames before turning down the 
air volume in stages. If the fire has become very lethargic after a long period of 
slow burning, or has no flames, set the air controls to their lighting position and 
place a few pieces of dry kindling onto the fire bed to ensure rapid ignition. Once 
the kindling has ignited the air direction lever should be set to its uppermost 
position and the volume control set to maximum before adding one or two logs. 
Never allow wood to smoulder, it wastes heat and pollutes the atmosphere.  

If  you  have  fitted  a  remotely  controlled  burner  rate  adjustment,  please  read 
Technical Guides IN1203 Thermostatic Remote Control (pictured), for advice on 
making the most of its facilities.
