IMPORTANT NOTE
Pyroclassic® fires have been in production for over 25 years in New Zealand. Our experience,
along with other New Zealand manufacturers, is that most problems relating to obtaining
maximum efficiencies come from loading the fire with wet or damp firewood.
The Pyroclassic® IV has been recommended as suitable for use in Smoke Control Areas
when burning logs
We strongly suggest that you read the section regarding Firewood.

  • Page 7: Operating Tips

    OPERATING TIPS USE OF TURBO SLIDE The Turbo slide is the part on the front of your fire with the Pyroclassic® IV name on, it covers a hole that allows start up air to enter quickly to get your fire going. To open the hole move the Turbo slide to either the left or right; the open hole works like a pair of old fashioned bellows.
  • Page 8 REFUELLING ONTO A LOW FIREBED If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period, add suitable kindling if necessary.
  • Page 9 continues along the length of the wood to the rear, to make the best use of your firewood please ensure logs are placed ‘lengthways’ into the fire chamber – NOT sideways. Your objective is to achieve a high temperature in the fire chamber quickly, which is easy using the Turbo slide and dry wood, you will never get the fire to burn correctly if you try starting fires with green or wet wood.
  • Page 10 YOU’RE NOW READY FOR YOUR FIRST FIRE Your first fire may give a poor performance and the fire may even go out. Do not be alarmed! This is due to the ceramic firebox drying out. The ceramic contains a small amount of moisture and needs heat to dry out.

  • Page 11: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING SLOW STARTUP  Turbo Slide (air inlet slide closed). Open the slide by moving to either the left or right.  Check that the start-up hole is free of ash and char on the inside, push back any build-up with the rake. The start-up air supply hole allows air to enter the fire chamber like a pair of old fashioned bellows, if the hole is clogged with ash and char it will not work.
  • Page 12 This will naturally happen slowly over many years use, however the process can be undesirably accelerated by the user burning with the Turbo slide open continuously and having the fire right up to the door, please read the operating instructions again and use the Pyroclassic IV correctly. HAIRLINE CRACKS APPEAR IN FIREBOX ...
