top or rear flue connection
The WESTFIRE UNIQ 23 stove is factory set up with a top flue outlet, this can be altered to a rear connection by
unbolting the top collar, rear cover plate and exchanging collar and plate. Care should be taken to ensure an

made insulated metal chimney.

Operating your stove- Westfire uniQ 23
initial lighting of your stove.
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden during the first few firings of your appliance. The
curing process produces a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light
your stove the room should be well ventilated. During the process it is important to open and close the stove
door periodically (every 30mins) during the first couple of firings to prevent the door rope seal from sticking and
coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear. This stove is
NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when lighting the stove,
adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
Lighting your appliance
When lighting your appliance quality firelighters should be used (never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other
flammable liquids). Lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.
to light your stove
The Westfire Uniq 23 has 3 air supplies to the stove. Two are controlled by levers at the front of the stove below
the door. The 3rd air supply is fixed, this tertiary air injects air in the rear of the stove through 4 holes.
Prepare your stove for lighting
1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in
the stove on top of the non toxic firelighters, place one
or two small dry split (¼ split) on top.
2. Fully slide open (pull out fully) the secondary air
lever.
3. Fully slide open fully the primary air. The stoves air
supplies are now fully open.
4. Light the firelighters and push door to closed posi-
tion but do not close latch, this will allow a small gap
of 1cm for more air to be supplied to stove.
