Operating Your Stove

Always ensure that the ash drawer is fully closed before operation

of the appliance

Recommended Fuels

Wood: hardwood such as ash, oak and

beech which have been cut for at least 2

years and stored under shelter. The logs

should have a maximum moisture content

of 20%. Maximum log length 400mm,

maximum width 125mm.

Smokeless solid fuel: below 20%

petroleum based coke (WP5 only).

Prohibited Fuels

Green wood: i.e wood which is less than

2 years old with a moisture content of

above 20%.

Recovered wood: i.e pallets, railway

sleepers etc. These will have been

chemically treated and will pollute the

atmosphere and possibly overheat the

appliance.

Important note

You may also experience fumes and a

haze being given off by the stove during

the first firing and possibly for the next

couple of firings as the paint cures. This is

normal but please ensure that the room is

well ventilated during this period.

In the rare event of a malfunction due to

overheating or a chimney fire, the air slides

should be shut down completely and the

fuel allowed to burn out. In the event of a

chimney fire, once the air control has been

closed completely, dial 999 for assistance.

If the appliance has overheated, the

appliance and flue will need to be

inspected for any damage before it can be

operated again.

Housecoal or Bituminous coal: these

fuels will soot up the airways of the stove

and possibly overheat the appliance.

Petroleum Based Coke: over 20%

content - this will overheat the appliance

and possibly damage the unit.

Liquid fuels

Paraffin fire lighter blocks: these can

cause damage to the glass of your

appliance

Always check with your dealer or

directly with the manufacturer as

using the incorrect fuel may

invalidate your guarantee and

damage your appliance.

Using your appliance for the

first time

• To allow the appliance to bed in, and

fixing glues and paint to fully cure, only

fire the appliance using kindling and just

get hot for at least three fires.

• Before lighting the next small fire please

allow the appliance to return back to

room temperature.

• During these first small fires you may

experience a haze and unpleasant smell

as the paint cures, do not touch the paint

and keep the room well ventilated.

Please note that during the first firing, we

recommend a small fire is lit and that you

slowly increase the temperature to enable

the various parts to expand normally.
