Lighting The Stove When Using Wood

Lay a fire of sticks and paper. Firelighters can be used if necessary. Check the secondary air

lever is fully open and the primary air is partially open. Light the fire and as the fire catches

the paper you may then fully open the primary air vents.

When the fire has fully established and the logs are burning well shut the primary air vent and

control the fire with the secondary air wash lever (if you are unable to sustain the fire with

secondary control it is very likely that your logs have a high moisture content).

Refuelling

When refuelling the fire, to ensure clean burning, the primary air control should be opened for

a couple of minutes so that flames are established on the newly fuelled logs. The primary air

should then be closed (pushed fully in) and the secondary air adjusted to create the desired

flame pattern once these flames are established and the logs have become blackened.

After refuelling, it is recommended that you do not leave the appliance unattended until it is

certain that the logs are burning well with a sustained flame.

Do not load the fuel above the log retainer.

Please note:

If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive

smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing

embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few

embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke

Fuel overloading

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading

can cause excess smoke.

The door should always be closed between refuelling to prevent fumes and spillage from the

firebox.

When loading the fire be careful not to leave logs projecting over the log retainer as you may

crack the glass when closing the door.

The ash should be emptied before it reaches the top of the ash pan to prevent ash dropping into

the primary air ducts. To remove the ash pan use the tool provided. The tool has a protruding

ridge which fits under the lip in the ash pan, as shown below.
