Using the Stove for the First Time, Burning Wood

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

2.USING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME

2.1When new, it is best to burn the fire at a low output for the first few days of use. This will allow the construction to settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.

2.2During this time the stove may give off some unpleasant odours, and we recommend that you keep the room well ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up of fumes.

3.BURNING WOOD

3.1Open the Airwash control fully and open the Primary air control to approximately 25% open.

3.2Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn plastics.

3.3To avoid the build up of condensation on the door glass it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire establishes, and the glass warms.

3.4As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of wood and fully close the door. Do not leave the stove with the door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and cause permanent damage.

The stove may be operated with the door fully open if a sparkguard (Stockton 7 - Stovax part 7227/Stockton 8 - Stovax part 7228) is fitted.

3.5As the fire becomes established close the Primary air control and control the burn rate using the Airwash control only.

3.6To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed of ash to build-up on the grate, and control the combustion using the Airwash control only.

3.7Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first rake the embers evenly over the firebed then open the Airwash control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed before adding new logs.

3.8Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn rate with the Airwash control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to maintain clean and efficient burning.

3.9The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will be established by experience in using the appliance.

3.10It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with the Airwash control on low settings for long periods of time. As this will reduce the effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a large build up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue system.

3.11We would recommend that the stove is burnt at high output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use. This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes within the appliance.

4.BURNING SOLID FUEL

4.1Open the Airwash control to approximately 50% and the Primary air control fully.

4.2Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn plastics.

4.3To avoid the build-up of condensation on the glass door it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire establishes, and the glass warms.

4.4As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of solid fuel and fully close the door. Do not leave the stove with the door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and cause permanent damage.

The stove may be operated with the door fully open if a sparkguard (Stockton 7 - Stovax part 7227/Stockton 8 - Stovax part 7228) is fitted.

4.5As the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air control to approximately 25% and control the burn rate using Primary air control only.

4.6Before re-fuelling the appliance it is advisable to first de-ash the firebed, using the riddling grate system, operated by using removable handle to pull the riddling knob in and out. This causes the ash to fall down into the ashpan. Do not use bare hands to operate the riddling system.

4.7Then open the Primary air control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel.

4.8Allow the new fuel to burn at a high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn rate with the Primary air control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to maintain clean and effective burning.

4.9The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will be established by experience in using the stove.

4.10It is not recommended to load large amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary air control on low settings for long periods of time. As this will reduce the effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of te airwash. Also this will cause a large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue system.
