Pyroclassic Fires Operating Instructions | Updated July 2016 | V.2 | 6
FIREWOOD
Any wood burner that is not operating correctly creates high emissions and will not heat your home properly. Simple
methods to ensure clean burning and efficient heating are:
Plan ahead.
Stock up on your wood fuel at least 6-12 months before winter to allow the wood to air dry. Stack wood loosely in a
dry place so air can pass freely through the pile.
Burn dry, well-seasoned wood. Check your wood with the moisture meter supplied as longer drying times may be
necessary.
The ideal size of wood for the Pyroclassic IV is from 25mm-120mm (1” - 5”) in diameter, cut into 300mm-400mm
(12”- 16”) lengths.
Note: shorter pieces are less convenient and efficient to use. Let your wood merchant know what
you want for your money.
Do not burn wet or green wood, plastic, domestic refuse, painted or chemically treated wood, plywood, driftwood,
particle board or coal in your Pyroclassic® IV as they will damage your fire.
Burn small, hot fires near the back of the fire chamber.
Observe the position of the load limiter bars in your wood burner to avoid placing too much wood in the fire.
However, it is necessary to stock up the firebox to achieve an overnight burn of 10+ hours.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF SOME TYPES OF PRESERVATIVE-TREATED WOOD AS FUEL CAN BE HAZARDOUS.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOLS OR PLACE THESE IN THE VICINITY OF THIS APPLIANCE WHEN IT IS
OPERATING.
DO NOT STORE FUEL WITHIN THE HEATER INSTALLATION CLEARANCES.
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD NOT BE OPERATED WITH A CRACKED GLASS.
THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE MAINTAINED AND OPERATED AT ALL TIMES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
THERE SHOULD BE NO UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE.
REPLACEMENT PARTS MUST BE GENUINE PYROCLASSIC FIRES PARTS, OR THOSE RECOMMENDED BY THE
