Polaris Inset Eco Manual
Very Important: Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approximately 75 %).
The gases are released when the wood is lit and heated up. For this reason, it is important
that the gases are ignited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies smoldering, especially
after re-stoking, a lot of smoke is created, which, in the worst case, may cause an explosive
ignition of the gasses, resulting in damage to the stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, lasting
flames during the combustion process, it is important to always let in the required quantity
of oxygen (air supply). The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition and the lighting
intervals depend on the draught in the chimney, the wind and weather, the amount of heat
required the fuel, etc. This means that it may take some time before you get to know the
correct functioning of the stove under any given circumstances.
USE WITH SOLID FUEL
2.
Lighting - Figure 12
1. Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if
necessary, of dry kindling wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
4. When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
5. When the stove body is hot, close the top air control.
6. The burning rate can now be adjusted by the lower control.
Re-fueling - Figure 12
1. Open the lower control.
2. Open the glass door and add fuel. (To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly,
avoiding a sudden rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.).
3. Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the fuel
to burn.
4. Adjust the lower control to the desired position.
