operating temperature for approximately 2 hours, so if lit for any less
than this amount of time the stove may not may not achieve this.
For ease of operation there is only one control on the ICARUS 5. This is
the knob under the door at the front of the stove – this operates the
primary, secondary and tertiary the air flow.
1. Push the air control knob fully in. Open the door and place 2-3
firelighters in the stove.
2. Place at least 15 pieces of split logs or kindling (about the thickness
of your finger and at least 150mm long) onto the firelighters in a
lattice pattern. Put a couple of small split logs on the kindling towards
the back of the stove
3. Light the firelighters and close the door until the notch in the end of
the latch is engaged with the pin on the body of the stove. This will
hold the door open ajar and allow the correct air flow for the first part
of the lighting process. As the kindling catches and starts burning
vigorously, gradually close the door latch fully
4. If the fire stays alight, leave the door shut. If the fire starts to die
down and the embers are dull, open the door and place into the latch
as described in 3 above. Leave it like this for a few minutes to allow
the fire to get hotter. Then shut the door completely.
5. When the fuel bed has largely burnt down, refuel by adding
approximately 750g of wood every 30 minutes or so. The logs should
be loaded onto the ember bed in a manner which ensures they do
not fall forwards against the door. If a log does happen to fall against
the door do not open the door to reposition, the log could roll out,
instead allow the fire to burn down and let it go out. The maximum
log size is approximately 400mm x 150mm. The number of logs will
vary depending on their size. Do not over fill the stove as embers of
burning wood may spill out. Shut the door fully.
6. You can regulate how vigorously the fire burns by pushing in or
pulling out the lever. The air should NOT be shut right down allowing
