needed and can cause problems with your appliance. Bear in mind that EN+A1 pellets

are not all the same so it can be worth trying out different makes.

Loading the boiler with logs

It is very important that you burn only dry, well-seasoned wood (with a moisture content

of 25% or lower) to get a good heat from your Bi-fire and ensure that you don't build up tar

residues in the stove and chimney. The firebox glass turning black is a sure sign of wood

being burned with too high a moisture content. Light the stove using kindling and

smaller logs with the air control fully open and, if needed, the ash pan door open. Once

the fire is burning well, close the ash pan door but always ensure that the stove and flue

have properly heated up before you turn down the air control. As with any boiler stove, do

not let it slow-burn, as smouldering logs will burn inefficiently and produce a lot of smoke

and tar.

Cleaning and maintenance

The regular cleaning and maintenance of your stove is absolutely vital to keep it burning

efficiently. How often a stove needs cleaning varies with every installation, but over time

you will get a feel for how regularly you need to clean the various parts. Make sure that

the stove is cool before doing any cleaning.

You will find photographs in the CLEANING AND MAINTEANCE contents in the manual

that clearly show each cleaning operation and these should be followed closely. In the

beginning give it a quick check over every couple of times you re-fill the hopper. In

particular check the brazier and give the inside of the glass a wipe over.

The regular cleaning cycle for the pellet side should include:

1. Clean the brazier, which simply lifts out, and then vacuum underneath it.

2. Take out and empty the ash pan.

3. Take off the ceramic top and pull the heat exchanger rod on the left hand side

repeatedly up and down to clean the flueway.

4. Remove the flame trap plate from inside the top of the firebox and scrape off any

ash residue to ensure that all the holes are clear.

5. Scrape the sides of the firebox if they are dirty.
