LIGHTING
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that
the installation work and commissioning checks
described previously have been carried out correct-
ly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is
sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the
stoves commissioning and handover the installer
should demonstrate how to operate the stove cor-
rectly.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
1.
Open the fire door and open the primary &
secondary air inlets by pushing the two air
control levers to the right.
2.
Cover the grate with crumpled pieces of
paper and lay 10-12 pieces of kindling on top
of the paper towards the back of the firebox.
3.
lgnite and close the fire door.
4.
When the kindling is well alight open the fire
door and add more kindling of a larger size to
sustain the fire. Close the fire door.
5.
When a hot fire bed is established, close the
primary air inlet fully and add larger pieces of
wood.
6.
When well lit, adjust the secondary air
control as required depending on the heat
output required. The exact
depend on the draught conditions of the
chimney to which the unit is connected.
Depending on the quality of the firewood, it may be
necessary to open the primary air inlet to sustain the
desired burn rate, but during normal operation, the
primary air lever should not be opened by more than
10mm.
REFuELLING
Before opening the fire door, open the air controls
fully as this will help to eliminate any smoke or fly
ash resident in the combustion chamber. Open the
fire door slowly, add fuel to fire, close fire door and
re-set the air controls to the required setting.
SLOW BuRNING
Slow burning will cause the window glass to blacken
and should not be used for a long period. It should
only be done after the fire has been established and
been running at nominal output for a period of time.
For a prolonged slow burn, fill the firebox of fuel up
to a maximum height just below the top of the fire
fence at the front of the door opening. Close the air
controls.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Your stove does not require an ashpan, best com-
bustion when burning wood is achieved on a bed of
ash. It is not required to empty all of the ash. If there
is excess ash( greater than 15mm) in the stove it
should be removed by when the stove is cold by
scooping it out or using a vacuum cleaner designed
for use with ash..
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-
combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled.
MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways
It is recommended that the flue pathways in the
stove are cleaned on a monthly basis (or less
depending on the soot build-up created by the fuel
being used) and the chimney cleaned annually. To
access the chimney pathways:

Remove the fire grate by lifting it up and out
of the firebox.
Remove one side plate by lifting the bottom
baffle and sliding the side brick towards the
centre while holding up the bottom baffle.
Remove the side brick tool followed by the
bottom baffle and then the remaining side
brick.
Bend the clips on the top baffle that protrude
through the front frame, ( otherwise front
edge cannot be lifted)
Then lift the baffle up, when the clips are
clear in front push the baffle back into the
stove where the re is adequate space to
manoeuvre for it to drop down into the fire
box so that it can be removed - see Fig 19.
