The highest burning rate is achieved by opening the air
regulator wheel to maximum. Excess clinker formation
may indicate overfiring.
For overnight or daytime slow burning, set the air
regulator wheel to be open by one full turn.
Experience will determine the settings that produce
best results.
When refuelling, first de-ash the fire bed:
Riddle the bottom grate by engaging the operating
tool on the riddling knob. Pull and push sharply for
about 10 strokes, after which the fire should be free
of ash.
Open the locked fire door with the operating tool
and use the tool to remove the ash pan.
Empty the ash-pan at regular intervals; do not
allow ash to accumulate to the level of the bottom
grate, as it may become damaged over time.
The presence of shale, stone or clinker in the fire
bed will reduce burning rates; to remove, rake the
fire upwards with a poker to bring the material to
the top, where it can be removed with tongs.
To add fuel:
Turn the air regulator wheel to fully open this will
establish a bed of hot fuel, onto which new fuel can
be placed.
Allow the stove to burn at maximum output for a
few minutes before setting the air regulator wheel
to the desired position.
The stove should be allowed to burn at maximum
output for around 30 minutes per day.
Bituminous fuel
Follow the procedure set out for lighting sold fuels, plus:
Always refuel to the maximum limit (i.e. to the top
of the front grate, sloping upwards to the rear).
The fire door must be left slightly ajar until the bed
of fuel has flames passing through it.
If the door is closed too early, small explosions can
force smoke through the door seals or air inlet into
the room being heated.
Do not operate the stove for long periods, or leave
it unattended, with the door open; doing so can
damage the stove.
When bituminous fuel is used, the fire door glass
will have to be cleaned more frequently.
Wood
Do not burn waste wood, pre-cut sawn timber, pallet
wood or any treated timber. Do not over load your
stove.
Wood should be split and dry with moisture content of
around 20%.
Place a liberal amount of paper or nontoxic
firelighters; add small pieces of wood kindling.
Place two smaller logs on top and light. Chemicals
or fluids should not be used to start the fire.
For lighting set the primary air regulator wheel to
maximum and the secondary air wash to 100%. To
prevent condensation build-up, leave the door
partially open until the glass has warmed.
Once fire has established close fire door, allow fire
to achieve optimum heat and close primary air
regulator wheel to 10% open. Close Secondary air
slider to 50%.
To reload – open primary and secondary air
controls to 100%, open door slowly and load two
split logs weighing 2 kg approx. Close door fire
door fully and allow the stove to burn at maximum
output for a few minutes before re-setting the air to
the operational level.
The highest burning rate is achieved by opening
the air primary regulator wheel to maximum. For
best efficiency, close the primary air regulator
wheel and control the burning rate with the
secondary air wash.
For daytime slow burning, set the air regulator
wheel to be open by one full turn. Experience will
determine the settings that produce best results.
Firing the stove at very low outputs for long periods
will increase creosote build-up and reduce the
effectiveness of the air wash.
To add fuel:
Open the locked fire door with the operating tool
and rake the embers over the fire bed.
Turn the air wash too fully open; this will establish
a bed of hot fuel, onto which new logs can be
placed. Load two small split logs weighing 1.4kg
approx. Close door fire door fully and allow the
stove to burn at maximum output for a few minutes
before re-setting the air to the operational level
The stove should be allowed to burn at maximum
output for around 30 minutes per day; this will help
prevent creosote build-up.
