2) In the closed position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the

combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top

of it. When in the closed position ash is able to build up on the grate

as is necessary for effective wood burning.

Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected

using the tool supplied as shown in Fig. 2. The grate is put into the

open position by moving the tool up until the handle is in the 1

o'clock position. The grate is put into the closed position by moving

the tool down until the handle is in the 5 o'clock position. To riddle

the appliance, the tool should be moved between the 1 o'clock and 3

o'clock positions several times. When burning wood the ash should

be allowed to build up and riddling should only be carried out once

or twice a week.

Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters. Set

the grate into the closed position. Place the paper, or fire lighters,

and kindling on the grate and cover with a few small dry logs. Open

the air control fully (see Fig. 1). Light the paper or fire lighters. The

door may be left cracked open for a few minutes to assist the

combustion and heat up the firebox more quickly. When the kindling

wood is well alight add about 3 small logs, close the doors but leave

the air control fully open. When the flames are established around

these logs, then load with logs up to the level of the air holes in the

back firebricks. Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.

Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to

work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air

controls to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not

leave the stove unattended.

On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the

silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This

is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room

should be kept well ventilated.

At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow

any residual moisture in the bricks to evaporate.

When relighting the stove, riddle slightly and then empty the ashpan.

The fire is controlled by the single air control knob shown in Fig. 1.

Pull the knob out to make the fire burn faster, push it in to make the

fire burn slower.

primary, secondary, tertiary and bypass air to enable optimum

burning conditions without the need to fiddle with multiple controls.

When burning wood, ash should be allowed to build up and only

riddled when the ash begins to cover the slots in the rear fireplate.

The fire should be riddled with the doors shut (see Fig. 2). Place the

tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the 1 o'clock and 3

o'clock positions several times. Too much riddling can result in

emptying unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be

avoided. After riddling, the grate should be put back into the open or

closed position as required (the tool should be in the 1 o'clock

position for open grate or in the 5 o'clock position for closed grate).

Keep the firebox filled up to the level of the air holes in the back

firebrick, but do not overfill to prevent fuel from spilling over the top

of the front fire bar. Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the

firebed to give the most pleasing flame pattern. The air control must

be fully opened after refuelling until the flames are established above

the fire. It is best to refuel on to a hot bed of ash. If at this point the

fire starts to die, the doors must be cracked open until the fire is

revived in order that smoke may not be produced. If the fire has

started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must

be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open to

re-establish the firebed adding larger logs.

Care should be taken especially when burning wood that fuel does

not project over the front fire bar or damage to the glass may be

caused when the doors are closed. It can also cause the glass to

For correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe

thermometer which may be purchased from your supplier or from

ourselves.
