OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FUEL :
SAFETY NOTICE
The most efficient use of this appliance is with
the fire door closed at all times, apart from
re-fuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when
cold).
NEVER leave the appliance unattended for an
extended length of time with the door open.
WOOD— Any type of wood is suitable provided it
is well seasoned and has a moisture content below
20%. This usually implies that the timber has been
suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at
least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at
least eighteen months in the case of hard wood.
We recommend that for general burning, wood
should be split into logs of no more than 100mm
(4”) diameter and no more than 14” long. The
recommended maximum fuel load is 8lbs
(3.5kg)
WARNING :
NEVER BURN PLASTICS OR HOUSEHOLD WASTE
IN YOUR STOVE.
NEVER BURN LIQUID FUELS OR SOLVENTS IN
YOUR STOVE.
NEVER BURN TREATED WOODS LAMINATES
COLOURED PAPER, CARDBOARD OR TRASH AND
GARBAGE IN YOUR STOVE.
WARNING : wet or unseasoned wood must not be
used as this will greatly contribute to the crea-
tion of tar and creosote which may, in ex-
treme cases, run down the chimney in liquid form.
This will seriously
damage both the chimney and the appliance,
and increase the risk of a chimney fire.
Do not exceed the maximum log length
detailed in the technical data table on page 9
Please Note : If you have sticky tar inside the
appliance or chimney your wood is ‘Green’ or
too wet.
Please Note : The burn classification for all
appliances in these instructions are classed as
intermittent use.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time,
check with the installer that :
• Installation and all building work is complete.
• The chimney is sound and has been swept and
is free from obstruction.
• Adequate provision for combustion air has been
made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least 550mm
sq per KW of rated output above 5KW, is fitted in
the room in which the appliance is installed. That
Local Building Codes have been followed during
installation. See installation section of this
manual.
• All firebox liner panels, throat plate and
insulation blanket are in place.
• That the chimney draw has been checked and is
within specification. With the chimney warm, the
draught should be between 1.2-2 mm water
gauge or 0.12 to 0.2 mbar.
Refuelling
Re-fuel when the fire has burnt down to a hot
ember bed, place in the desired load (do not
exceed the recommended maximum) close the fire
door and adjust the air control to fully open until
the fire is re-established with a good burn rate,
normally within 10 minutes,
Re-adjust the air control to achieve the desired
heat output burn rate.
WARNING : An over drawing chimney can cause
over firing, resulting in damage to the appli-
ance.
