3.2 Use
Important
It is strongly recommended that you do not leave your stove alight at night or unattended. It
harms the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases in the wood do
not ignite at the low temperature but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the chimney and stove,
this can cause damage to the chimney flue and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor
draught in the chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario,
cause an explosive ignition.
It is not recommended firing the stove in the summer period, when there is minimal need for
heat, the combustion will be poor due to the air controls being at a low setting this will harm
the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases in the wood do not
ignite at the low temperature but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the chimney and stove, this
can cause damage to the chimney flue and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in
the chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario, cause an
explosive ignition.
After a prolonged shut-down period the stove and chimney system should be checked to
ensure that there is no blockage by an approved and competent stove installer such as Hetas
registered (England & Wales) or equivalent for other nations and a qualified and approved
chimney sweep. For example, a bird may have nested at the top of the chimney.
If you fire the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel’s thermal energy will be spent forcing
the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to the stove. This incomplete
combustion results in a layer of soot being left in the stove, pipe, and chimney, this will harm
the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases in the wood do not
ignite at the low temperature but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the chimney and stove, this
can cause damage to the chimney flue and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in
the chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario, cause an
explosive ignition.
Odours when using the stove for the first time
Painted products:
The stove may emit an irritating gas when used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The
room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught (without over firing)
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected. Evacuate all
people from the room until all odours have cleared. If for any reason the odours do not clear, do
not add more fuel and allow the fire to extinguish, seek professional assistance.
Air Control: See figure 4
Always use
the long ash pan key and stove mitten to operate the air controls.
There are 3 air intakes to the Rydal 5 SE, two of these air intakes are controllable.
The primary air supply, where air passes up through the riddling grate, is controlled to the Rydal 5
SE stove using the lever air control situated below the glass on the front door, move to the left to
close and to the right to open, see figure 4. This control is only used when lighting or refueling the
stove, at all other times the primary air control should be in the closed position.
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using one air control for wood burning.
