Page 5: Lighting Your Stove
ESSENTIAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE – It is essential to follow these ‘tempering-in’ instructions in order to avoid serious damage to your stove. The castings of your stove require very gentle ‘normalizing’ to Release stresses in the metal formed during the casting process. The high temperature paint finish also requires curing: - Initial paint curing: Note: NEVER wipe the stove in the early stages (prior to paint fully curing), as the paint will be very soft and... - Page 6 Successfully lighting a fire can be inhibited by cold air in the flue and changeable weather conditions (please see our section on Autumn & Spring Syndrome) and so our reverse fuel stacking method detailed below provides the best chance of lighting a fire on all occasions as the initial heat created is targeted upwards to warm the air within the flue rather than down into larger logs at the base of the fire box: 1.Check that both the primary, secondary and tertiary air intakes are in the open position.

Page 7: Over Firing
•The taller the flue, the greater the weight of the equivalent volume of denser air, the greater the motivation. During the changeable weather conditions of Spring and Autumn the outside temperature can rise suddenly and become warmer than the temperature within the house. This causes the air within the flue to reverse its normal flow pattern and air travels down the flue. -
Page 8: Fuel Overloading
We suggest that you refuel every 45 minutes to 1 hour, dependent on fuel. Wood fuel with water content greater than 20% (‘green wood’) must not be used for combustion in a HFR0803 stove. The recommended maximum dimensions of wood logs are as specified below: Model... - Page 9 Any moisture must evaporate before the wood fuel will produce heat and during this process the wet wood will create excessive tar and creosote deposits, damaging both your stove and chimney system and increasing the risk of a chimney fire. Never burn plastics, household waste or treated timber in your stove.

Page 10: Maintenance
Maintenance Your new stove must be regularly maintained. The grate should be cleaned after use and free of heavy build-up of ashes to prevent this from burning out, especially with the use of anthracite coals. The stove, connectors and chimney should be swept regularly, recommended three times a year by HETAS. - Page 11 Fire Won’t Light Is there sufficient ventilation in the room to supply air to the stove? A permanently open-air brick must be installed with your stove and extractor fans must not be present. Are the air intakes open and free from blockages? Is an approved fuel being used in line with the guide in this user manual? Has the chimney been swept? Does the flue draw fall between the required levels? Fuel Burns Quickly...
- Page 12 Hot air rises and will be lost up the chimney if this is not suitably capped off with a Chimney Closure Plate (Register Plate) and sealed with a heat resistant cement or silicone. Is your chimney over drawing and burning through fuel too quickly? Does your wood fuel have less than 20% moisture content? Is the baffle plate sited correctly? Open the stove door and listen for wind up the chimney.
