USER INSTRUCTIONS

9.2De-ash the firebed using the operating tool to riddle the grate and clear ash.

9.3As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use care must be taken when removing and carrying the full ashpan. We suggest that the ashpan be carried using gloved hands, or the ash is placed directly in to a Stovax ash caddie.

9.4When burning wood the amount of ash will be smaller and may only need removal once every week. To do this, allow the fire to burn out and cool. It is best to leave a layer of ash in the cooker to form a bed for the new fire.

9.5Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other combustible material.

The symptoms of poor performance related to wet wood include: -

•difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well,

•smoky fires with little flame,

•dirty glass,

•rapid creosote build-up in the chimney,

•low heat output,

•Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and blue/grey smoke from the chimney.

10.3It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with the air control on low settings for long periods of time. This will cause large a build-up of tars and creosotes in the cooker and flue system, possibly resulting in a chimney fire, The use of Stovax Protector chimney cleaner will also help to reduce this problem.

10.4Solid fuel: - Burn manufactured smokeless fuels, listed as suitable for use with closed heating appliances. Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’or other petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate and product guarantee.

10.5If you require advice on suitable solid fuels contact your local Approved Coal Merchant. Details can be obtained by ringing the Solid fuel Association advice line on Freephone 0800 600 000. Or their web site at www.solifuel.co.uk

10. RECOMMENDED FUELS

10.1Wood:- Burn only seasoned timber, with a moisture content of less than 20%. In most cases, this would require drying cut wood for at least 12 to 18 months before use. Poor quality timber could cause low combustion efficiency, produce large amounts of harmful condensation, which could reduce the effectiveness of the combustion system, and ultimately the life of the cooker.

10.2Do not burn kiln-dried, painted, impregnated wood or manufactured board products. As the high combustion temperatures generated by these products could cause permanent damage to the internal parts of the cooker.
