- Page 7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WHAT WOOD TO USE we recommend pine (soft wood) - no only sustainable in NZ but one of the cheapest! POWER OUT not only does a wood burner not need electricity to heat your home - you can cook on the top too - ensure you use the right equipment to avoid damage GREAT COMPANY the atmosphere a fire puts out is both warm and cosy...
- Page 8 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS STARTING UP This below bird’s eye view shows the 2 controls and the position they should be in for the first 15 - minute start cycle. Kindling should be 1kg of dry timber (Pine or soft wood is best and under 25% moisture) split so it is no thicker than thumb sized - use with fire lighters.
- Page 9 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Select the 2 thickest pieces of kindling and place in a triangle pattern as shown below. Place minimum of 2 Fire lighters as shown above. DO NOT put kindling or any type fuel bottom chamber.Only chamber should be loaded. Place the next 3 pieces of kindling across the triangle base as shown below.
- Page 10 Intermediate load should be softwood for best results. Once the intermediate fuel load is well alight (typically at 15 minutes) the Rua can be switched to run mode. Should your Rua cease to operate or operate oddly, open the control rod for 3 more minutes before switching back to run mode again.

Page 11: Run Mode
For the first 5 -10 minutes after down drafting the fire may diminish slightly as it continues to heat up the bottom half of the fire After the RUA has been running for approx. 25 - 30 minutes total, the next load of fuel (1.5kg - 2.5kg) can be added. - Page 12 Should you need to have the start rod in the start position for more than 5 minutes each hour after lighting - call Tropicair for operational advice. Always use the fire correctly to achieve maximum benefit, keep emissions minimal and use the least amount of fuel.

Page 14: First Lighting
If the flue begins to glow red hot (or appliance makes bad noises) close the control rod to run and set air control too low fire (short rod out to right) and call Tropicair for advice. Ticking or a tinking/pinging sound from metal expanding as it heats up is very normal and is not abnormal. - Page 15 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ULEB TIP SHEET Tropicair ULEB’s need to be treated a little differently to your traditional wood burner, we have put together an informational Tip Sheet so that you can get the best out of your ULEB. Wood We recommend burning soft woods that have been seasoned or kiln dried. Wood that has high moisture content, very sappy or full of resin will cause jamming of the Flue’s downdraught lever, creosote will drip...
