Tertiary Air
This appliance is also fitted with a preheated tertiary air system controlled via a sliding control located on
the bottom left of the stove just below the door (same as secondary air). Moving towards the wide side of the
arrow increases the tertiary air supply whilst moving towards the narrow side reduces it. It burns otherwise
uncombusted gases in the products of combustion thereby improving efficiency, increasing heat output and
decreasing unwanted atmospheric emissions. At certain stages of burning you will notice “jets” of flame
emerging near the air holes to the rear of the firebox.
Multifuel Grate
This stove is fitted with a grate with a strong set of cast iron bars with suitable air slots and will burn most
fuels. When burning coal type fuels it is important to stoke the fire well where required to de-ash regularly,
to ensure that the primary airflow is not impeded, as a build-up of ash
when burning coal can damage the
cast iron grate . A build up of ash when burning wood will not usually harm the grate and indeed wood burns
better on a bed of wood ash building up. Excessive wood ash build up is not to be recommended however as
this would decrease the size of the firebox and consequently decrease the amount of fuel that can be put in
the stove.
Ashpan
It is essential that you empty the stainless steel ash pan every day. Use the thick end of tool to hook onto and
lift the ash pan out of the stove.
DO NOT allow ash to build up underneath the bed as this may cause
damage to the grate.
6.2 Cleaning
Glass:
Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from time to time
depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the stove is hot. Always use
stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your stove retailer. As an alternative, use
a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if burning wood but be very careful to use very clean ash so as not to
scratch the glass.
Outer body: The outer body simply needs to be dusted from time to time. DO NOT use any kind of
furniture polish or cleaning agent other than your stove suppliers recommended paint.
Inner firebox: Brush the inside of the firebox clean from time to time to check the integrity of the plates
and liners etc. It is not normally necessary to re-paint inside the firebox due to the high temperatures that
mean that the paint does not have much effect before being burnt off. Steel and vermiculite board liners are
resilient firebox materials and will give reliable service without major cleaning or work on the firebox. The
liner boards may require replacement fairly regularly depending upon fuels and the type of usage
experienced. Lining boards are not covered by warranty, as they are a wearing consumable part.
Baffle:
It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in use and
after a long period of no use. From time to time remove the baffle if necessary to ensure that the flue way
entrance is clear.
6.3 Fuels
The appliance is fitted with a versatile multifuel grate, however the appliance has been tested and approved
burning dry, well-seasoned logs. This is the recommended fuel.
6.4 Notes on Wood burning
With a full load of wood, the stove will need to be refuelled approximately every 1 to 1.5 hours depending
on burn rate. Wood can be stacked in the stove but care must be taken that logs do not touch the baffle. Do
not stack fuel above the level of the tertiary air inlets at the back of the stove.
Wood burns most efficiently with the primary air controls closed and the secondary (air wash) controls
open. Carefully adjusting the secondary air controls and fuel load will then control the burn rate of the stove.
Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning. Open the air
wash full for 3 to 5 minutes to achieve full flames above the fuel.
