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 range 30/55 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. For details of authorised fuels that are suitable for the appliance please contact your appliance distributor.

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.

The cover plate (3) is placed on top of the grate to prevent embers from falling into the ash pan. The ash pan (5) is in the ash pit. Hwam 30/45 30/55 and 30/65 Before using the stove, please ensure that all separate components are correctly placed, The smoke plate (1) must lie on the rear plate and on the slanting side plates.
Grate Cover Plate Your HWAM 20/80 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.
The main door must only be opened when lighting the fire, when loading and when removing ashes. Models 30/45 30/55 and 30/65 This model has only the one air control which regulates the amount of air available for the stove’s automatically controlled primary and secondary combustion air system is governed by the control 7.
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.

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.
If the stove’s exterior paintwork becomes damaged it can be simply repaired by sanding the area with a fine wet and dry paper and the using a Hwam approved paint to respray the area.
Operational Problems Blackened glass The wood is too damp. Only use wood stored for at least 12 months under cover and with a moisture level not exceeding 25%. 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.
