•Wood burns best on a bed of ash

•Rake the embers evenly over the fire bed and open the

Airwash control fully for a few minutes before re-fuelling

5.2Burn new logs at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the Airwash control. Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.

5.3Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.

5.4Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the glass cleaning effect and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.

5.5When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.

5.6Burning Solid fuel (Not applicable for Riva 76):

• Set air controls, See Diagram

5.7When the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air control to approximately 25% open and control the burn rate using the Primary air control only.

5.8De-ash the fire bed before re-fuelling, see Ash Removal, Section 7.

•Open the Primary air control fully to establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel

•Burn new fuel at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the Primary air control to the desired setting

•Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.

5.9Experience establishes control settings to suit personal preferences

5.10Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air Control on low settings for long periods of time. This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the air wash and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.

5.11When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.

5.12You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in closed appliances.

5.13Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product guarantee.

Do not load fuel above the log guard and the secondary combustion inlets at the back of the firebox.
