The Hwam models Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart, Ravel and Hwam 30 are considered as exempt for use in smoke control areas if they have been modified to ensure the air wash/secondary air control cannot be fully closed. If this modification has not been carried out by the manufacturer or Distributor then the appliance is not considered exempt under the Clean Air Act.
Our aims are to produce stoves with the latest innovations, user friendly operation and high efficiency for lower cost operation. This operation manual offers user information for the range of Figaro, Vivaldi, Monet, Mozart, Hwam 30, Hwam 60, Beethoven, Ravel and Dali.

Multifuel And Wood Stoves Gas and oil are consistent fuels and stoves can be designed to obtain the maximum heat from them with the user having to do no more than choose a heat setting. Solid fuels are almost infinitely variable and however well a stove has been designed, its performance will ultimately depend on the way the user operates it.
Smoke control area`s The Hwam models Beethoven, Vivaldi, Mozart, Ravel and Hwam 30 are only considered suitable for exemption under the Clean Air Act when burning untreated dry wood. The appliance should only be used to burn wood or authorised fuels.

Choice Of Logs Never burn wood that is not dry or wood that has been subject to a manufacturing process, such as chipboard, as these contain resins of uncertain toxicity when burned. For the same reasons, wood that has been painted or treated with a preservative should never be burned.
Stove Controls Burn Rate Control The rate at which the stove burns is controlled by adjusting the air entering the stove. Moving the control from minimum to maximum increases the size of the air inlets, primary or secondary air, in the automatic combustion system.

Once the stove has reached its operating temperature the control should be set in its mid position.

Grate Cover Plate Your HWAM stove is supplied with a loose cover plate for the riddling grate. This is a 3 mm thick steel plate. It is placed on top of the riddling grate and prevents the embers from falling into the ash pan. The cover plate is raised approx.
First Lighting of the Stove When you light the stove for the first few times it should be with small fires increasing in size, as all the materials must be given time to adapt to the effects of heat. The paint on the body of the stove will be fully hardened after the stove has been cured, however the door and the ash pan should be opened very carefully before this as there will otherwise be a risk that the gaskets will stick to the paint.
General Lighting and Operation Lightly crumple two tabloid sized pieces of newspaper and lay them in the middle of the grate. Resist the temptation to use more paper than this, or to crumple it too tightly; doing either will prevent the rapid development of flames and will cause smoke to be produced.

Wearing the stove glove place a few logs larger than kindling wood over, but not smothering the kindling. When the previous loading of wood is burning brightly add two larger split logs to bridge the fire. Always avoid putting wood directly onto wood burning with flame, try and leave air space under the wood for the flame to form, because the new, cold log will tend to cool the fire.

Continuous Operation (Diagrams A2) When the kindling is burning at its maximum rate, and a bed of embers has been formed, you can reload the stove with dry seasoned split logs. A bed of embers is when all the bottom is covered, and the embers glow in a ring around the riddling grate. Place at least two logs in the stove.
Lighting and Operation of the Figaro Air inlet controls Lighting (Diagram E1) The control knob (1) should be pushed to the far right (max. primary air). Lay about 2-3 logs worth of split kindling sticks in the stove. Place 2 pieces of firelighter amongst the upper layer of kindling. Light these and allow the fire to spread gradually.
General Maintenance of the Stove Ash Removal The ash pan should NOT be removed and emptied when the stove is operating. Removal of the ash pan when the stove is lit will allow unregulated air to enter the stove which can damage the automatic combustion control system.

Maintenance of Soapstone What is soapstone? Soapstone is a natural material, a natural stone, which absorbs and stores heat effectively. The result is that the heat from the stove is given off over a longer period of time. There are different types of soapstone. The type is determined by the composition of minerals of the stone e.g. talcum powder, magnesium and chloride.
It is important that all the stove seals are replaced when any signs of wear are apparent or they become degraded and that only parts approved by Hwam/Euroheat are fitted, these may be obtained from local retailer or directly from Euroheat.
25%. Insufficient intake of secondary air for the glass air wash. Open sliding damper under the door (Monet, Monet H, Dali and HWAM 60) or in the door (Beethoven, Beethoven H, Ravel, Vivaldi, Mozart and HWAM 30). Smoke in the room when opening door Open the door slowly, a few millimetres at first, then gradually to allow the pressure changes within the stove to equal out.
The combustion chamber lining has cracked or broken The fireproof Skamolex lining in the combustion chamber is made of vermiculite, which is a specially manufactured material that can withstand very high temperatures and also provides efficient insulation and thereby ensures the optimum temperature and combustion in the combustion chamber.
