OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ & UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE.

ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE FIRE GLOVES WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.

SOLID FUEL BURNING (Multifuel Version Only)

•Set the grate to ‘coal’ position.

•Ensure that the ash pan is in position and the fire doors are closed.

•Set the air wash (secondary air) to one quarter open position.

•Set the primary inlet to the fully open position •Light in the normal manner with paper and

kindling, or use a fire lighters.

•If using a gas poker be sure to remove it immediately when the fire is alight.

•When the fire is well alight regulate the burning rate by adjusting the setting on the primary air inlet control.

•The air wash can be opened sufficiently to keep the door glass clean.

BURNING WOOD

•When burning wood on multifuel version set to grate to wood burning position.

•If wood burning only version no further settings are required.

•Set the air wash to fully open position.

•Proceed as for solid fuel but note the fire will burn up and become established more quickly.

•Ensure primary air control is in the fully closed position. Note some familiarisation may be required due to fuel variation and some adjustment may be necessary.

MIXED FUELS (Multifuel Version Only)

•The grate can be set to either coal or wood position depending on the main percentage of the fuel to be burnt.

•As per coal but allow additional secondary air. •The primary air inlet can be closed and burning regulated by means of the air wash above the door.

ANTHRACITE (Multifuel Version Only)

Anthracite is more difficult to keep in for long

periods, consequently more care in setting the controls and some familiarisation is necessary when burning anthracite.

Use the smallest size fuel (Stovesse or Small Nuts). Proceed as for manufactured smokeless fuel. Leave the air inlet control open about a quarter or less.

Note: The high temperature paint acquires durability by being "cured" during the initial firings of the appliance. During this time, fumes which are non-toxic, are emmitted, certain persons may find they have an unpleasant or irritant effect. Ensure that the area is well ventilated during this time.

OVERNIGHT BURNING

The appliance will burn overnight provided: •Sufficient fuel is placed in the firebox.

•The controls are set correctly.

•Excess draught is not present in the chimney. •Close the door.

•If the fire goes out with unburnt fuel left in the firebox increase the air opening slightly, and vice versa.

In the morning

Open the air control fully until embers begin to glow brightly and place pieces of fuel on the fire until it is well established.

WARNING: When wood is burnt slowly in a closed appliance it produces moisture and tar, which will create condensation and deposits in the chimney. This effect can be minimised by burning hard for a short period, about 20 minutes, twice a day. It is usually convenient to do this morning and night.

Note: To avoid chimney problems your fire should not be burnt slowly for longer than 12 hours without a period of fast burning.

WARNING: Properly installed, with a suitable flue and chimney and operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from the de-ashing and re-fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must be investigated by a Hetas registered installer.

Stop using the appliance if you smell fumes or see smoke escaping.
