RE-LOADING AFTER AN EXTENDED BURN TIME
At the end of an extended burn, re-establish the fire by adding a few small split
logs, adjust the Air Control to HIGH and allow the firebox temperature to build
up before adding the balance of the fuel, loading logs in a side to side
configuration.
The addition of large quantities of cold fuel to a low fire will reduce the firebox
temperature dramatically and this may result in ‘losing’ the fire.
Proceed with fire as before.
Do NOT operate the heater with the door constantly open, this overrides the Air
Control System and greatly lowers optimum heat output and efficiency.
FUEL
Dry, seasoned soft wood should be used at all times with a moisture content of
less than 25% dry weight.
The heat output level on the heater is controlled not only by the Air Control but
also by the type and quantity of fuel in the firebox.
A fully loaded firebox set to HIGH will produce far more heat than an almost
empty heater set at the same position. Remember, you only get out of any
heater what you put into it. The better the fuel, the better the heater.
Do NOT burn plastic, household refuse or driftwood. This will void any Warranty
and reduce the lifespan of the fire.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
CAUTION: Never use gasoline-type fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fuel or
similar liquids to start or ‘freshen-up’ a fire in this heater.
15. MAINTENANCE
A LAYER OF ASH AT LEAST 25MM DEEP SHOULD ALWAYS BE LEFT IN
THE BOTTOM OF THE HEATER TO PROTECT THE BOTTOM OF THE
FIREBOX, AND IT WILL ALSO ACT AS ‘INSULATION’ FOR THE FIRE.
CLEANING THE ASHES FROM THE FIRE
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal, if the
ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly
cooled.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE EXCESS ASH FROM THE FIREBOX BY
VACUUM CLEANERS UNLESS THE FIRE HAS BEEN OUT FOR 5 OR MORE
DAYS - EMBERS WILL SMOULDER FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND WILL IGNITE
VACUUM CLEANER BAGS.
