5. RUNNING THE APPLIANCE
5.1. MAXIMUM HEAT OUTPUT
After establishing the fire and loading it with larger
pieces of wood, leave it running with the air slide
fully open (pulled all the way out).
This setting will generate maximum heat output.
Running the appliance with the door open will not
produce maximum heating in the room, as it will
draw a lot of already warmed air out of the room.
Do not overload firebox with fuel.
Note that this setting is not the most energy
efficient as some heat is lost up the flue instead of
being transferred into the room. However, once
the fire is established, particulate emissions will be
very low in this setting.
To further maximise heat output, once the firebox
is hot, turn the fan on to the high speed setting to
spread the heat around the room.
5.2. LOW HEAT OUTPUT
The heat output of the appliance can be
reduced by closing the air slide which will restrict
the oxygen supplied to the fire and slow down the
rate at which the wood burns.
This setting provides the best energy efficiency
as the wood burns for longer. However, if not
operated correctly it may worsen emissions.
Prior to closing the air slide, ensure that the fire is
burning briskly. This may require opening the air
slide fully for 5-10mins before shutting down.
For the optimum between clean burning and
getting the best in efficiency, from the fully closed
position, open the air slide 4-5mm.
The air slide can be adjusted to any position
depending on desired heat output versus burn
time.
Fan may be turned to low speed setting or off if
the heater is putting out sufficient heat without the
fan on.
5.3. RELOAD WITH MORE WOOD
1. Open air slide before opening door.
2. Rake / break up any existing coals.
3. Load the wood with the length oriented
front to back.
4. Better results will be achieved by loading
several smaller pieces of wood rather than
one large piece.
5. Close door with air slide fully open, and
leave for a minimum of 10 minutes to allow
the fresh wood to catch.
6. After 10 or more minutes, the air slide can
be adjusted to the desired heat output
setting.
6. BURNING TIPS
6.1. FUEL QUALITY
Use wood with a moisture content of less than
20%. Logs should not feel moist or damp, or have
moss and fungal growths.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
● Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning
well.
● Smoke and only small flames.
● Dirty glass and/or fire bricks.
● Rapid creosote build-up in the flue/chimney.
● Low heat output.
● Short burn times, and blue/grey smoke from
the flue/chimney outlet.
Run appliance at high heat output for a short
period each day to avoid large build-up of tars
and creosote within the appliance and flue.
