Operating Your Stove

Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth.

Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire, if chimney or stove is glowing red you are over firing.

Do not build the fire too close to the glass. Do not abuse the glass doors. Do not strike or slam shut the door.

DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.

Fuel

Your stove is designed to burn solid wood fuel only; it is not designed to burn,

•Paper or cardboard, other than small amounts used to light stove.

•Treated or painted wood

•Synthetic fuel or logs that are not approved for solid fuel stoves

•Household rubbish

•Liquid fuels

•Plastics

Burning these or other products for which the stove was not designed may damage the stove and cause a fire hazard or release toxic fumes

Fuel should be stored in a dry place; wood should be dried for at least 1 year. Do not store fuel within the installation clearances or within the space required for charging and ash removal. Wet wood may cause serious creosote, which may damage your flue system and even your stove. Therefore the use of wet wood is strongly discouraged.

First operation of stove

You should begin using your stove by lighting small fires which get progressively bigger. We recom- mend a series of about five small fires before you put the stove into full service. Allow the stove to fully cool between each of these fires. There may be some smell and a small amount of smoke from the stove during the initial operations. This is perfectly normal and is merely the curing of the stove paint. Opening a window or door to provide additional ventilation will help alleviate this.

Air controls

Your stove needs air to burn the fuel. This air is supplied through the spin valve at the base of the door and through the slots over the glass.

Primary air, as the name suggests, is used for the initial burning of the fuel. Secondary air is used for secondary combustion, which makes the stove more efficient, reduces the emissions and is also used to keep the stove glass clean. Wood burns better with the air over the fire bed and when burn- ing a lot of wood, you should use the secondary air supply more.

The settings of both of these air controls very much depends on draft and local conditions and after a few fires, you should have a good idea of the best settings for your stove. The air controls should be fully opened when lighting the fire. Once the fire is established, the controls may be adjusted as required. Reducing the air intake will cause the stove to burn slower. This may cause some blacken- ing of the stove glass, but this should burn off once the stove is burning brightly again.
