For your comfort, it is advised that you light your first fire with the windows open to al-
low the escape of paint fumes. This will normally happen for the first 30 minutes of the
first burn.
Fully open the heat control. Place wood kindling and paper or firelighter in the firebox.
Ignite and leave the door partially open by resting on the catch until the fire is blazing
(4-5 minutes), and burns well with the door closed. Do this only from a cold start. Once
the fire is underway, adjust the heat control to suit. If the firebox or the flue becomes
visible red-hot, adjust the heat control to a lower heat position to avoid being unneces-
sarily harsh on the unit as well as wasting excessive heat up the flue.
Warning:
always open the heat control before opening the fire door.
For long holding operation in a Clean Air Zone, level the ashes and load with the fire-
wood lying front to back. After loading new wood, operate the fire with the heat control
fully open for 20 minutes before closing the heat control to the lower burning position.
By following this simple method of low burn firing, you will achieve very low emission
rates and obtain the high efficiency burn that is associated with the product.
The fuel approved for use in Clean Air Zones in this appliance is wood with a moisture
content of less than 25% of dry weight. This usually means green timber left for at least
three months to air dry.

the use of some types of preservative-treated wood as a fuel can be hazard-
ous.
Caution:

Caution:
this appliance should be maintained and operated at all times in accordance

The door must be closed at all times during the operation, except during
refuelling and occasional poking of the fire when necessary. Ensure door seals
are maintained in good condition.
Your appliance and flue system should not be modified in any way without the
approval of the manufacturer.
