LIGHTING THE FIRE
Prior to lighting the fire for the first time check with the installer that:
•Installation and all building work is complete. •The chimney is sound and has been swept and is
free from obstruction.
•Adequate provision for combustion air has been made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least 550mm² per kW of rated output above 5 kW, is fitted in the room in which the appliance is installed.
•That Building Regulations and any local
•All firebox liner panels are in place. •Throat plate is in place.
•That the chimney draw has been checked and is within specification. With the chimney warm the draught should be between 1 - 2mm water gauge (0.1 - 0.2mbar).
WARNING: An over drawing chimney can cause
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 Stoves
•Ensure that the multifuel grate and ash pan are in
position and the fire doors are closed.
•Set the air wash 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 lighter.
•If using a gas poker be sure to remove it immediately 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
•Set air wash to the fully open position
•Proceed as for solid fuel but note the fire will burn up and become established more quickly.
MIXED FUELS
•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
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 will give off fumes which are
the area is well ventilated during this time.
EXTENDED BURNING
The appliance will burn for an extended period provided:
•Sufficient fuel is placed in the firebox. •The controls are set correctly.
•Excess draught is not present in the chimney. •Fire door is closed.
•If the fire goes out with unburnt fuel left in the firebox increase the air opening slightly, and vice versa.
