OPERATING YOUR STOVE - SUITABLE FUELS - ASHCOTT
Your stove is tested and designed to burn wood, wood brique�es can also be burnt but special account should be taken of fuel
weight. Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry split
hardwood firewood (moisture content of 20% or less). The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet
wood results in poor fuel economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove. Do not overload stove as this
can cause excessive heat and damage the stove (see table on page 4
).
ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT REAR OF STOVE. Only use fuels approved for use on hea�ng stoves.
Do not burn liquid fuels, dri� wood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood ,varnished wood or plas�c
coated wood, wood treated with preserva�ves, or any house hold waste.
DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED FUEL WEIGHTS.
DO NOT BURN HOUSE COAL. DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT AN
INCINERATOR.
LIGHTING YOUR STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before ligh�ng your stove for first �me make sure you have read this manual fully and acquainted yourself with the controls
of this appliance. (see page 9)
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first �me you light your appliance. The curing process produces
a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first �me you light your stove the room should be well
ven�lated. During the curing process it is important to open and close the stove door periodically (every 30mins) during the first
couple of firings to preven�ng the door seal from s�cking and coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has
hardened the smell will disappear.
Your stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when ligh�ng the stove,
adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
Use of fire lighters
Quality firelighters should be used when ligh�ng your stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other flammable liquids).
Ligh�ng your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper. Ligh�ng your fire with paper results in
excess smoke, more ash and possible blackening of glass.
