Warning: The control and handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is in use. Please use the glove
provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
4. Once the first charge of wood has burnt away leaving a glowing bed of embers slowly open the stove door
using the glove provided and re-stoke the fire with the desired amount of wood. Close the door and open the
air control to maximum (towards you) for a few minutes to allow the new wood to catch fire then slowly push
the air control back into the stove until the desired effect is reached.
In order to avoid the quenching of the stove fire by use of oversized logs we recommend a maximum wood
fuel size of 4” (10cm) diamete r by 10” (25cm) length split seasoned logs, with a maximum moisture content of
20%.
This appliance is designed to operate with the door closed, except for lighting and reloading, failure to close
the door during operation can result in fume spillage.
Warning: Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling.
Occasional fumes from re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken:
Open doors and windows to ventilate room then leave the premises. Let the fire go out or eject and safely
dispose of fuel from the appliance. Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required. Do not attempt
to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek
expert advice
3.5 Important Information for Wood Burning
With a full load of wood and burning near nominal output the stove will need to be refuelled approximately
every 1-1.5 hours. One or two large logs will burn longer than a number of smaller ones. Care must be taken
that logs do not touch the baffle or the glass panel. Do not stack logs above the level of the tertiary air inlet
profiling in the rear vermiculite firebox liners at the back of the stove.
Always make sure that flames are visible above the wood after re-fuelling for cleanest burning. Burning
without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. After re-fuelling open the primary air control
fully for 3 minutes or until the logs are fully blackened to achieve full flames above the fuel.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus ash from the stove
occasionally. Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood, which should have been cut, split and stacked - under cover
from rain - for at least 12-24 months with free air movement around the sides of the stack to enable it to dry
out.
Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chimney and will not produce a
satisfactory heat output. Wood that is not properly dry (‘dry’ is considered to be less than 20% internal
moisture content) uses up energy from the burn process to evaporate the water inside the wood thus creating
very poor conditions for combustion.
The main cause of burning problems with wood stoves is due to excessively damp wood. Wood can appear
perfectly dry on the outside but still contain 40-50% water on the inside. A moisture meter can be purchased
from stove and equipment suppliers if you wish to check your wood source is correct. Split a log and check the
inside as well as the outside.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed if there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing
embers and ash so that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in
the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading the maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading
can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and spillage into the
room. The appliance ‘Must Not’ be operated with the appliance door left open.
