OPERATION Lighting Before lighting the appliance Before lighting the appliance for the first time, please ensure all firebrick linings and other internal components are in position and that all packaging has been removed. When lighting your appliance for the first time, it should not be stoked excessively as the materials must be given time to adapt to the effects of heat.
It is then good practice to store the wood in a log basket inside your property for a few days prior to its use. The internal width of the firebox of the Ellipse is 330mm, therefore firewood should be no longer than this.
The appliance must not be modified in any way. Any changes will invalidate your warranty. Any replacement parts must be official F2 Fires appliance parts. The removal of ashes The ashes should only be removed when the fire is out and has been left to cool completely. The log retaining bar can be removed for easier access by lifting it up.
OPERATIONAL ISSUES Problem solving Problem Possible causes and solutions ● The wood is too damp. Only use wood that has been stored for at least 12 months under cover and ideally with a moisture content of less than 20%. ● Insufficient intake of air from the air control.
