Fully open out the secondary air control
(right hand side) and open the primary air
control (left hand side) to about half way.
See Figure 3.
Light the fire and close the door.
The room should be kept well ventilated
on the first lighting, as there may be an
odour and some smoke may be released.
This is just the paint reacting to the heat
and will only last for a short time.
When the fire is well lit, adjust the primary
and secondary air controls to give you the
required level of flame. See Figure 4. For
best results, wood will generally need more
secondary air than primary air.
Refuel the appliance when there is still a
good bed of glowing embers. Place the
required amount of logs on the bed, open
the secondary air control fully and close
the door.
Once the new fuel has taken, adjust the
secondary air control.
5.2.2 SMOKElESS FUEl
The same applies as with wood, but
you will require more primary air than
secondary air with smokeless fuel.
When burning Homefire or Anthracite
smokeless fuel, always have the secondary
air fully open on ignition. Leave it open for
3-5 minutes and adjust thereafter.
5.3
OVERNIGHT BURNING
To achieve slow burning/overnight
burning with smokeless coal, close the
secondary air and open the primary air
slightly. Please note that slow burning may
cause the glass to blacken and cause sooty
deposits in the flue way.
Furthermore, these settings are guidelines
and are dependent on the draft and fuel
quality.
