Before using your stove
10.1 Pointers Before Use
Lowry wood burning stoves are designed to be operated with the fire door (s) always closed, apart from
refueling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
Never leave the appliance unattended for an extended length of time with the door (s) open.
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time, please check with the installer that:
Installation and all building work is complete. (Refer to the installation guide.)
The chimney is sound, has been swept and is free from obstruction.
Building Regulations and any local by-laws have been followed during installation.
All firebox liner panels, and throat plate are in place.
The chimney draw has been checked and is within specification (between 0.1mb to0. 2mb, or
10- 20 pascals). This ensures your stove will operate predictably and efficiently.
Carbon Monoxide detector is correctly installed in the same room as the appliance.
Suitable provision for combustion and ventilation air, depending upon building regulations have
been undertaken by the installation fitter.
Consideration must be given for the need for extra ventilation if another heating source needing air
is to be operated simultaneously. If an extraction fan is pro-posed to be fitted to a connecting area
of the house, after the stove has been installed, professional advice should be sought from a
qualified engineer.
Ensure that you have read and understood these instructions before lighting the fire.
Always wear suitable protective fire gloves when refueling your stove. Always keep the hot glove
away from naked flames and sparks, when re- fueling the appliance.
We recommend that you light a small fire for the first few days of use to cure the paint and allow the
castings to relax.
You may hear your stove produce clicking or ticking noises whilst it heats up or cools down. This is
completely normal and is produced by the expansion and contraction of the steel components in your
stove when its temperature changes.
