Under no circumstances should you use aluminum or galvanized steel pipes for your stove flue. Always fit pipes with the narrow side down, this allow any creosote to run down the inside of the pipe and not to come out and cause an unsightly mess and possible fire hazard.

  • Page 9: Chimney

    This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stovetop. All joints, including the flue collar connection must be secured with three sheet metal screws to ensure that the sections do not separate. For the best performance the chimney connector should be as short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90...

  • Page 13: Operating Your Stove

    Operating Your Stove Do not use a grate, andiron or other fuel support method. Build fire directly on the hearth. Only open door to fuel/refuel the stove. Excess air can cause the stove to over fire. Do not over fire, if chimney or stove is glowing red you are over firing. Do not build the fire too close to the glass.

  • Page 14: Refueling

    Refueling Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply to high for a few moments until there is a good fire in the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire.

  • Page 15: Stove Maintenance

    When you return to your stove, fully open both air controls until you have a good fire and then set to normal operating levels. Do not add fuel until the fire bed is hot and red. Then add a little for the first time and allow that to ignite before adding more. During overnight burning, the stove glass will blacken, but when a hot fire is established again this should burn off.

  • Page 16: Replacement Of Glass

    Do not operate with broken or cracked glass. If the glass does crack when the stove is lit, let the fire die out. Do not open the door until the stove has fully cooled. Replace the glass only with the specified replacement part before re-using the stove. Replacement of glass Remove the door from the stove and place on a flat surface.

  • Page 19: Chimney Fire

    Chimney fire Chimney fires occur when soot and creosote that have built up in the flue system ignite. If the stove is operated properly and the flue checked and cleaned regularly then chimney fires should not occur. These fires can be very dangerous and must be avoided. Try to maintain good, hot fires in the stove whenever possible and at least once in every firing open the air controls and allow the stove to burn on full for a short while until the entire fire bed is glowing red.
