recommend that you leave any windows and doors open for this period in
order to ventilate the room.
As part of the curing process, the paint will become soft during the
heating.
You should therefore be careful when touching the stove to
avoid damaging the paint finish or leaving any marks on it.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
Ensure the protective plastic on the stove base has been removed before
attempting to light the fire. Open both sets of airslides fully and place
newspaper and kindling wood or firelighters onto the stove base and light
with a taper or match. Leave the doors slightly open. Allow the fire to
burn fiercely at this point in order to warm the chimney as quickly as
possible.
Gradually add larger logs until the fire is well established.
Close the doors at this point but keep both airslides in the fully open
position. When the fire is fully established, close down the primary air
slide and use only the secondary airslide to control the rate of burning.
For overnight burning, load the stove with logs and once well established,
close the doors and shut down both sets of airslides.
When using the optional solid fuel grate to burn smokeless fuels, we
recommend that you place either kindling wood and newspapers or
firelighters onto the grate and add a small amount of solid fuel to the
kindling.
Once lit, open both airslides and pull the doors together
leaving just a small gap. Gradually add more solid fuel to the grate until
the fire is established. The doors can now be closed and the secondary
airslide closed down. Control the rate of burning by using the primary
airslide.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
Seasoned hardwood is the best fuel to burn with regards to efficiency and
emissions. By seasoned, we mean that the wood should be a minimum
of 2 years old and have a moisture content of no more than 20%.
Split seasoned hardwood is better than round uncut logs. Split logs dry
faster and as they have a greater surface area and will burn at a higher
temperature.
In order for the secondary combustion to work efficiently, a combustion
temperature in excess of 600C is required. Using seasoned hardwood,
the stove will maintain such high temperatures. If you burn green wood
or unseasoned wood, this temperature will be difficult – if not impossible-
to reach.
Green or unseasoned wood contains a high percentage of moisture which
if attempted to be burnt, far less energy will be given off as more energy
is used trying to drive the moisture out of the fuel. This decreases the
combustion temperature meaning that the secondary combustion system
does not work properly, which leads to dirty glass and gasses and
