Add up to 1kg (for the 4kW model) or 1.2kg (for the 5kW models) or 2kg (for the 8kW model) of wood
•
After about 2 to 3 minutes or when flames from the fresh fuel fully established, close the Primary
vents
•
At high power output, your stove will require refuelling approximately every hour.
•
It is important to follow these instructions in order to achieve clean burning and to maximise the
efficiency of the stove
•
Do not leave the fire unattended until flames are well established on the newly charged logs
•
Always refuel onto hot embers.
•
If the fire has died out at the point of refuelling, use kindling to re-establish the fire and follow the
“Ignition” procedure above.
•
It is important that the stove is not overloaded with fuel.

Reduced burn rates can be achieved by reducing the openings of the Secondary and Tertiary air vents.

UK Clean Air Act 1993 - Smoke Control Areas
The Saltfire ST-X4 / ST-X5 / ST-X8 wood-burning stove is suitable for use in smoke control areas when used in
accordance with these instructions.
WARNING- The high temperature paint covering the stove will give off some fumes during the initial few uses
of the stove. The fumes are non-toxic, but some people may find them unpleasant
–
Ensure the area is well
ventilated during this period.
The higher nominal output rating of this stove is based on around 1.2kg (for the 5kW models) or 2kg (for the
8kW model) of seasoned logs which would require refuelling every 50 minutes.
This stove is suitable for intermittent burning and should not be used constantly for extended periods. Not
suitable for overnight burning.
Under certain abnormal weather conditions, e.g. down draughts, it may be difficult to get sufficient draw
through the appliance to achieve good combustion. When this happens, the stove should not be used.
IMPORTANT: -
As of October 2010, it is a legal requirement to use a Carbon Monoxide Detector in the same room as the
stove. This needs to incorporate a battery which lasts the life of the detector.
