  • Page 9: Operation

    Thank you for purchasing a Kent wood fire. Used and maintained correctly, it will provide you with many years of warmth in your home. Kent wood fires have been the main source of heating for many Kiwi homes, for over 40 years.
  • Page 10 NORMAL OPERATION ONCE THE FIRE IS ESTABLISHED The Kent wood fire requires fresh air for optimal burning, and this must come from outside the house. A normal house will allow enough air in through incidental openings to satisfy this. We recommend that a source of air be located near the wood fire for best performance.
  • Page 11 FOR FIRST FIRE All Kent wood fires are finished in a high temperature quality stove paint. The paint has not been fully cured until it has been heated. If the fire is run too hot, too fast, the paint will burn off before it has had a chance to fully bond to the steel.

  • Page 12: Maintenance

    RE-PAINTING All Kent wood fires are finished in high temperature paint. If marks and scratches occur, or the paint is damaged by over firing or aggressive cleaning agents the appliance can easily be touched up by using stove paint. Any rust or other stubborn marks that may appear can be cleaned up and removed with the help of a steel wool pad and hot soapy water, then repainted if necessary.
