Base lever - This controls the Secondary/Airwash and Tertiary burn system. Air is drawn through the 

rear and is fed over the fire through a series of holes above the bricks and on the baffle itself. This 

helps to burn off the initial smoke and gasses produced by the fire, prior to it going up the chimney. Air 

also flows past these holes and is fed over the glass through an internal layer of steel, helping it to keep 

clean and clear of smoke stains. When the lever is pulled towards you, more air is fed into the fire, 

pushed away from you decreases the amount of air into the fire.  

When the Defra screw is activated this air vent is set such that the closure plate does not seal fully, 

thus allowing some constant air supply into the stove. This is a feature of all Defra “SE” stove 

When you light the fire, you want this control fully open with the door slightly ajar. When the fire is 

becoming established and you have a suitable fuel load the door can be closed and the air in the fire 

regulated. If you close the fire off too early, it will go out. You need to ensure the fire is established 

with lots of heat in the chamber before gradually closing the control. Every stove will work slightly 

differently depending on the chimney set up, so often some trial and error is required. 

Below image: For the stove to be compliant with Defra standards, this screw must be fully wound in. This 

is required if you are in a smoke free zone or want to install a 5” liner or chimney system
