First, open the primary and secondary air wash controls fully. Then load the firebox with

plenty of starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry kindling sticks and/or firelighters. If using Ancit,

place a layer of ancit into the firebox as well. Light the fire at the base leaving the air

controls fully open. Leave the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to enhance initial starting

and reduce smoke emission – DO NOT leave the stove unattended if the door is left

ajar. Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually by adding a

few small sticks, well split logs or Ancit briquettes at a time. Once you have a good fire

bed established across the grate, further fuel can be added step by step as required.

Don't be tempted to overload the fire bed with fuel all at once or close down the air

controls too much until the fire is really well established for some time. Once the ignition

period is well under way, gradually reduce the air control opening to establish the

burning intensity you require. For wood burning the primary air control should be fully

closed.

6.8 Re-fuelling

When burning Ancit or other briquetted smokeless fuel, the fire will begin to die down

with a significant amount of white ash showing amongst the fuel. Gently run a poker

through the fire bed to remove most of the ash into the ashpan. Empty the ashpan if it is

nearly full and then re-fuel with a good load of briquettes. The fuel load should initially

be sloped from level with the top of the fuel retainer to not above the rear firebox liner

board. Whilst approval test cycles are 2 hours, a stove burning Ancit may be kept in

over night easily.

When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames

disappear and the remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate

time to consider re-fuelling. NOTE: If the flames disappear and there are still lumps

of solid wood left this indicates excessive internal moisture in the wood or

insufficient air supply/flue draught.

NOTE: To eliminate unwanted smoke emission, after loading new logs on to the fire,

open the air wash control up fully for 3-5 minutes or until the logs are blackened all over

to boost the fire and get flames issuing from the top of the fuel as soon as possible.

When flames are well established, reduce the air wash to the running setting required.

Burning without flames above the fuel will create unnecessary smoke. Do not load

fuel above the tertiary air inlet holes at the back of the firebox.

Loading 3 to 4 medium sized logs will produce a good output with reasonable burn time,

generally small logs will burn up quicker producing a high output for a short time and a

large log will take longer to burn and produce less output over a given time. These

appliances are approved for intermittent operation on wood (0.75 to 1.5 hour burn

cycles) although much longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox,

getting the fuel burning well and then shutting the air controls right down (see below).

The fire will then need reviving by first opening the air controls and then using small

pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames issuing from the wood again.

6.9 Shutting Down

The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed. In order to shut

down the stove for other reasons, close the primary air controls (if open), then close the

secondary air control. If the controls are left in this position, the fire will eventually go

out. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended that the primary air controls are

open first, and then open the secondary air controls.

Warning! - The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died

down or been extinguished.
