7 Lighting your stove 

 

7.1.1 Smoke control areas 

 

Please check whether your dwelling is located in a smoke control area before installation or 

use. Please check with your local authority or https://www.gov.uk/smoke-control-area-rules. 

 

7.1.2 Fuel overloading 

 

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded.  Overload-

ing can cause excess smoke. Please see Technical Data section in this manual. 

 

7.1.3 Operation with door open 

 

Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance 

MUST NOT

 be         

operated with the appliance door open except as directed in the instructions. 

 

7.1.4 Dampers / Air controls left open 

 

Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The 

appliance must not be operated with the air controls, appliance damper or door(s) left open 

except as directed in these instructions. 

 

7.2 Burning wood 

 

When wood is burnt, it is in fact the volatile gases released from the wood that burn and 

this requires a good supply of air coming from above the fuel. For this reason we open the 

air inlet fully while igniting the stove then reduce this once the burn is well formed.   As 

much as 40% of the heat from burning wood is obtained from secondary combustion and 

this can be severely hampered by air entering the fire box from below the fuel. 

 

 

1) Set the fire by placing several layers of dry kindling wood into a criss-cross grid    

 

pattern on top of the grate. The use of two or three fire lighters may assist in lighting 

 

the kindling. 

 

 

2) Fully open the air control and light the fire-lighters and/or kindling wood.  

 

 

3) After the kindling has caught alight, you should almost close the fire door leaving it 

 

ajar by about 10mm. This will aid flue draw during the initial lighting of the fire. 

 

 

4) The flue temperature and draw should be established after five minutes and the 

 

kindling reduced to form an ember bed. Carefully load the stove with well seasoned 

 

wood and fully close the fire door. 

 

 

5) After ten minutes, fully close the air control to control the burn rate  and maintain 

 

clear glass, typically by reducing to approximately half open.
