9.2 Reduced burning

When wood is burnt slowly in a closed appliance, it produces moisture and tar,

which will create condensation and deposits in the chimney. This e ect can be

minimised by burning hard for a short period, fteen to twenty minutes twice a

day.

To avoid chimney problems your appliance should not be burnt at a reduced

burn rate without a period of fast burning. Fast burning is when the stove is burnt

with a 'lively ame' and a higher temperature. We also advise against stoking the

re with wood and reducing the air intake(s) before leaving the stove to extinguish

(perhaps when retiring to bed) as this can lead to a cooling of the stove and ue

also resulting in incomplete combustion and sooty deposits.

Over ring and chimney res

DO NOT over re your appliance. Firing the stove at maximum

for prolonged periods may result in over- ring. If the chimney

connector or casing glows red the appliance is being over- red

and this may result in a chimney re.

Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well

lubricated with a water repelling corrosion inhibitor for the summer months

(during periods of prolonged non-use). If possible store the throat plate outside

of the stove. Check all moveable components at regular intervals, to ensure they

are moving freely.

Allow air movement through the stove by opening the airwash and primary air

inlet control(s) to about half way, open or leave the door ajar. This will allow a

free ow of air through the appliance thus preventing moisture and condensation

forming inside the stove and chimney. This preventative maintenance will ensure

your stove stays in the best condition for the coming winter months.
