6.5.3 Operation with door left open 

 

Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke and spillage into the room. The 
appliance must not be operated with the appliance door left open. 

 
6.5.4 Primary Air left open 

 

Operation with the primary air controls left open can cause excess smoke. The 
appliance must not be operated with air controls or door left open. 
 

6.6 Notes on Smokeless Fuel (Ancit) burning 

Ancit, smokeless and coal type fuels require very different burning conditions to log 
burning and to suit this a kit has been developed for the FX/FP4, 5 and 8 to maximise 
efficiency on smokeless fuels. The kit MUST be fitted to obtain the expected 
performance characteristics from the stove when burning smokeless fuels. A kit is not 
required for the FX/FP5W although a hearth heat shield for superimposed hearths is 
available. When the stove is established and burning well, the air wash can be closed 
fully and the burning rate controlled with the primary air control and refuelling to obtain 
maximum efficiency. Ancit and other smokeless briquetted fuels can burn with very little 
primary air and stay in for many hours. 

 
6.7 Lighting the Stove  

We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to 
its maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long 
service life of the paint finish. During this curing in process you may notice an 
unpleasant smell whilst the finishes finally cure. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort we 
would suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open. 
 
First, open the secondary air wash control fully. Then load the firebox with plenty of 
starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry kindling sticks and/or firelighters. If using Ancit, place a layer 
of ancit into the firebox as well. Light the fire at the base leaving the secondary air 
control fully open. Leave the door slightly ajar for 10 minutes to enhance initial starting 
and reduce smoke emission 

– DO NOT leave the stove unattended if the door is left 

ajar. Allow the fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually by adding a 
few small sticks, well split logs or Ancit briquettes at a time. Once you have a good fire 
bed established across the grate, further fuel can be added step by step as required. 
Don’t be tempted to overload the fire bed with fuel all at once or close down the air 
controls too much until the fire is really well established for some time. Once the ignition 
period is well under way, gradually reduce the air control opening to establish the 
burning intensity you require. 
 

6.8 Re-fuelling 

When burning Ancit the fire will begin to die down with a significant amount of white ash 
showing amongst the fuel. Shake the grate using the shaker bar and then 

gently

 run a 

poker through the fire bed to remove most of the ash into the ashpan. Empty the ashpan 
if it is nearly full and then re-fuel with a good load of briquettes. The fuel load should 
initially be level with the top of the fuel retainer and not above the rear firebox liner 
board. Whilst approval test cycles are 2 hours, a stove burning Ancit may be kept in 
over night easily. 
 
When burning wood, the fire will die down as the fuel is consumed. When the flames 
disappear and the remainder is breaking down into glowing embers it is an appropriate 
time to consider re-fuelling. NOTE: If the flames disappear and there are still lumps of 
solid wood left this indicates excessive internal moisture in the wood or insufficient air 
supply/flue draught.
