The secondary air (air wash system), which is supplied to the combustion chamber over the
internal glass, is controlled using the upper air control lever, move to the left to close and to the
right to open.
A third air inlet (normally named tertiary air) provides a constant, pre-heated air supply to the
combustion just above the fire, this has no control as it is set to be 100% open at manufacture.
The exact positioning of the air controls to achieve optimum burn for the Rydal 5 SE will depend
on many factors such as weather conditions, chimney size and local topography. However, to give
some guidance, if you adjust your settings so that one to two small to medium sized logs (total
weight 0.98kg) burn for about an hour before needing to refuel, then the appliance is operating at
about 4.9Kw. This is the maximum amount of fuel that should be used, overloading can be
dangerous, cause excess smoke and damage the stove.
3.2.1
Use with wood:
See figure 4
It is recommended always to use approved and suitable stove tongs for loading and
refueling the stove with wood to avoid any part of your arms and hands entering or
touching the stove. Use the stove mitten to hold the tongs.
Always use the long ash pan key and stove mitten to operate the air controls.
Lighting
Important:
Ensure the area around the stove is clear of all obstacles so as not to be a trip hazard and
allowing a totally unobstructed space whilst lighting, re fueling, adjusting the air controls,
removal, and replacement of ash pan and at all other times.
1)
Slide the top secondary air control to fully open. Open fully the primary air control.
2)
To achieve clean burning and maximize the performance and efficiency of the appliance it is
important to raise the temperature of the stove and chimney as quickly as possible. Thus, when
lighting the appliance, the technique is to open the door and start with a small amount of
kindling with all air controls fully open, use a long taper to ignite the kindling and then close
the stove door.
3)
After a few (~5) minutes, open the stove door and some larger pieces of wood should be added.
Close the stove door.
4)
Only when these have been well-alight and the flames dying down, should the stove door be
opened and normal sized logs be added, then close the stove door.
5)
When these logs are well alight, the primary air control should be fully closed, and the fire
controlled using the secondary air control. To operate at the nominal heat output both the
primary and secondary air controls to be fully closed, the stove will then be fed air from the
tertiary air outlets that are permanently open.
6)
The Rydal 5 SE intended use and design to be at the nominal heat output of 4.9kw, however
the stove can be controlled beyond the nominal heat output by opening the secondary air
control, the further the secondary air control is opened the flames within the firebox will
increase and the wood fuel will be burnt at a faster rate, you must ensure that the stove is not
overfiring, it is recommended that a suitable approved stove flue temperature gauge is used to
ensure the stove is not getting over to hot, or overfiring. The flue temperature at the date of
stove testing at the stoves nominal heat output was 217
0
C. Seek professional advice from a
registered and approved stove installer and the flue temperature gauge manufacturer’s
