burn brightly and have a very low
ash content usually less than 1%.
If possible, always use light dry
kindling when lighting the stove.
Wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% should be used. If
the moisture content is any
higher, the fire will produce much
less heat than is possible and the
stove glass, stove and chimney
flue will build-up tar deposits.
Hard woods like beech ash and oak
are excellent long burning wood
fuels and tend to be better than
soft woods like pine etc. The
smaller the thickness of the wood
the faster the fuel will burn. For
long burn time at night time etc.
use larger size pieces of wood.
The wood should have a maximum
diameter of approximately 3-4
inches and approximate length of
8”-12”.
Manufactured wood fuels that
contain no additives are also an
excellent fuel and burn very hot
and clean with little ash.
SOLID FUELS:
There are numerous fuels on the
market that contain partial or
full percentages of Petroleum
coke. These fuels are high in
sulphur with leads to acid attack
of the stove, flues and chimney.
Petroleum also has low ash content
which will damage the stove grate
and other parts of the stove in a
very short period of time.
Examples of these fuels are
“Calco” and “Superblend”.
Using any fuel containing
Petroleum coke will invalidate
your warranty. To find a complete
list of approved solid fuels for
use in closed appliances, please

Don’t burn coal pellets, singles
or coal dust. Burning slack is not
recommended.
Try and ensure the solid fuel is
not wet when fuelling the stove.
Peat and briquettes can be used
provided they are dry.
Lighting the fire
The key to quick and easy lighting
of the stove is the ample use of
kindling wood. If too little
kindling is used, the fire will be
slow to start and will produce
excessive smoke and deposits on
the glass.
The grate should be put in the
open position (handle up) and the
damper fully opened. Firelighters
or well crumpled paper should be
surrounded with small pieces of
kindling toward the FRONT of the
grate. As the stove is quite deep,
it is advisable to light the fire
towards the front of the stove to
