OPERATING YOUR LOGAIRE FIRE
OPENING THE DOOR
1.
Ensure that the airslide control knob is fully adjusted to high.
2.
Turn the door handle in an anticlockwise direction and slowly pull door open.
On the Hestia and Atlanta Bay, firmly hold the door handle and lift upwards approximately 90
degrees whilst pulling the door open.
ADJUSTING THE AIRSLIDE CONTROL
1.
The air slide control is positioned on the top left hand side of the fire.
2.
This control moves from left to right, left being low and right being high. This gives you total
control of the burn rate at all times.
3.
On the Pegasus and Hestia Multifuel a second air slide control is positioned above the ash pan on the
left. When using a mixture of wood and coal or coal only, close the top air slide control halfway
and ad just the burn rate using the bottom air slide control.
STARTING AND MAINTAINING A FIRE
To start and maintain a good fire you need the following items:
1.
A small quantity of newspaper (do not use coloured or coated paper)
2.
A packet of firelighters (optional)
3.
A quantity of finely split dry soft wood kindling in a variety of sizes.
4.
Seasoned firewood split into a range of piece sizes
•
The first step is to crumple half a dozen sheets of newspaper and put them just inside the firebox.
The amount of newspaper you need will depend on the firebox size and the dryness and fineness of
the kindling you are using. The drier and finer the kindling the less newspaper you need. Be gen-
erous with the newspaper and you will have more success. Placing some firelighter halves under
the newspaper will also help to sustain the firebox temperature until the wood is burning.
•
On top of the paper place 10 to 15 pieces of finely split dry kindling. Softwoods such as cedar or
pine make good kindling. Ideally the kindling should be placed on and behind the newspaper so
that the combustion air reaches the newspaper fast where you ignite it. It is also a good idea to add
two or three very small pieces of firewood to the kindling load before lighting.
•
Set the airslide control to high, light the firelighters or the newspaper and close but do not latch the
door. After about 5 – 10 minutes when the wood is flaming brightly, latch the door. As leaving
the door open slightly can cause dangerously high temperatures, NEVER leave the woodstove un-
attended while starting the fire.
