Part 2: Operation & Maintenance Instructions for
WAGENER Fairburn Cooker
Message to the Owner
Thank you for purchasing a New Zealand designed and made Wagener Fairburn Cooker.
With care and common sense your Wagener Fairburn will give you many years of trouble free service.
We recommend an annual safety check of flues, bricks, door seals, door catches, air controls and the like.
When your Fairburn is not in use please ensure that the air control is in the closed position. The air control
should always be in the fully open position before opening the fire box door for starting and refuelling.
