IMPORTANT: The first few fires should be relatively small to permit the stove to season
properly.
STOVE BURNOFF
When lighting your stove for the first time it is advised to only light small fires. When the stove
is lit for the first time, residue from the manufacturing process such as glues, paints and seals
will burn off and smoke as the stove adjusts to the heat. It can take several hours for the stove
to "burn in".
During the burn off period open all windows in the room to allow the smoke to exit.
LIGHTING
1. Before lighting the stove, ensure that any build-up in the fire box (1) has been removed and
that the ash pan (4) has been emptied.
2. Open both spin valves (2) by turning anti-clockwise.
3. Lay a few crumpled sheets of paper on the ash pan (4) and then a few small sticks, kindling or
an approved firelighter.
4. Ignite and close the glass door (3).
5. Never use inflammable liquid i.e. gasoline, petrol paraffin etc. to start a fire in this stove!
6. When the fire is well established, add fuel to the fire box (1) and adjust the spin valves (2) to
the required setting.
7. Never close both spin valves (2) at the same time, always leave at least one spin valve (2)
open. This allows for sufficient flow of oxygen.
RE-FUELLING
1. Open both spin valves (2) by turning anti-clockwise.
2. Open glass door (3) and insert wood logs or wood briquettes.
3. Close the glass door (3) and re-adjust spin valves (2).
Please remember to always wear appropriate protective stove gloves when re-fuelling or
touching the stove!
