Instructions for use with
smokeless fuel
• Open the secondary air slider to the
left hand side of the door, and open
the primary air slider to the right hand
side of the door by fully pushing the
levers inwards.
• Lay firelighters or rolled up
newspapers on the grate and add a
small amount of kindling wood to the
top. Place a small quantity of
smokeless fuel on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters
using a long taper and push the door
closed but do not engage the locking
handle fully.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, after a
couple of minutes add more
smokeless fuel and close the door.
• When the fire has become established,
close the secondary air by 50%, to the
left hand side of the door, by pulling
the lever outwards.
• The burning rate can be altered by
moving the primary air slide, to the
right hand side of the door - pull the
lever outwards to close down and
push the lever inwards to increase the
burn rate.
• Care should be taken to ensure that
the firebox is not overfilled with
smokeless fuel - it should be no higher
than the log guard.
Re-fueling
When refueling the stove always refuel
onto a bed of hot embers, fully open
the secondary and primary air controls
until the new fuel is well alight, before
adjusting the air controls for the desired
setting.
If there is insufficient burning material in
the firebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur.
Refueling must be carried out onto a
sufficient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that the new fuel charge will
ignite in a reasonable period. If there are
too few embers in the fire bed, add
suitable kindling to prevent excessive
smoke.

Fuel overloading

Never overload the stove - it will work
very well with two medium sized logs.
The amount of fuel specified in this
manual should not be exceeded,
overloading can cause excess smoke.

Operation with door left open

Operation with the door open can cause
excess smoke and overfirring of the
appliance. The appliance must not be
operated with the appliance door left
open except as directed in the
instructions.
Never leave the stove unattended
until the new fuel is well alight.
Persistent fume emission is dangerous
and must be investigated.
If fume emission persists, open doors
and windows to ventilate the room and
let the fire die out. Have the chimney
inspected for blockages and clean if
required. Do not relight the fire until the
cause has been found. We recommend
that you seek professional advice.
This appliance has been designed to be
burned with the door closed at all times
other than when refueling.
It should not be operated as an open
fire.
Typical refueling intervals for wood is 1
hour and smokeless fuel is 2 hours.
