WOOD FUEL
IMPORTANT: Never use toxic wood such as chipboard, impregnated, painted wood or pre-sawn wood such as
pallets. Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use
dry firewood. The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel
economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains 60-70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood.
SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS – The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 stoves are not suitable for use with smokeless fuels. The
stove will burn best when burning wood. HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS
STOVE; ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
Overnight burning
Westfire UNIQ32/WF32, are designed to burn wood. Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if is burnt hotter.
Westfire do not recommend that their stoves are burnt overnight for this reason.
As a night time regime we recommend that the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the
secondary air control fully open until the new wood has taken and is burning, then close the secondary air valve
to its operational position.
On returning to the stove in the morning the fire will have burnt out. Reload with some paper or firelighter and
some kindling and open all the controls fully to relight quickly. Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers.
Use of operating tools
The UNIQ32/WF32 is supplied with a heat resistant glove, when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove
is in in operation use the glove provided.
Maintenance
WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 inset wood stoves need to have the ash removed from the stove at regular intervals.
Make sure the stove is completely cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours).
To clean the outside of the stove use a dry cloth.
You must purchase a smoke control version of the Westfire stove which is modified slightly to comply with
regulations. Any change to this modification will invalidate the stoves compliance for smoke control areas.
The Clean Air Act 1993 and Smoke Control Areas
Under the Clean Air Act local authorities may declare the whole or part of the district of the authority to be a
smoke control area. It is an offence to emit smoke from a chimney of a building, from a furnace or from any fixed
boiler if located in a designated smoke control area. It is also an offence to acquire an “unauthorised fuel” for
use within a smoke control area unless it is used in an “exempt” appliance (“exempted” from the controls which
generally apply in the smoke control area).
In England appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the Secretary of State in accordance with changes
made to sections 20 and 21 of the Clean Air Act 1993 by section 15 of the Deregulation Act 2015. In Scotland
appliances are exempted by publication on a list by Scottish Ministers under section 50 of the Regulatory Reform
(Scotland) Act 2014. Similarly, In Northern Ireland appliances are exempted by publication on a list by the
Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs under Section 16 of the Environmental Better regulation
Act (Northern Ireland) 2016. In Wales appliances are exempted by regulations made by Welsh Ministers.
