Operating Instructions 

(Burning Wood) 

Keep these instructions for future reference 

Important: 

ensure installation instructions have been adhered to before lighting the 

appliance. 

 

Important: 

firewood should be loaded in a front to back direction when operating this 

appliance. 

 

Warning: 

any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in writing by 

the testing authority is considered as breaching AS/NZS 4013. 

 

Warning: 

do not use flammable liquids or aerosols to start or rekindle the fire. 

 

Warning: 

do not use flammable liquids or aerosols in the vicinity of this appliance when 

it is operating. 

 

Warning: 

do not store fuel within heater installation clearances. 

 

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. 

 

Caution: 

the use of some types of preservative-treated wood as a fuel can be hazard-

ous. 

 

Caution: 

this appliance should not be operated with cracked glass. 

 

Caution: 

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

with these instructions. 
 

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.
