Ember Bed Maintenance:
To ensure a clean burning and easy to use fire, it is important to maintain a suitable ember bed level. Once
the UL200 is up to normal operating temperature (1-1.5hours after start up), the ember bed should be kept at
a height of approximately 50% of the ember retaining glass. This will ensure rapid ignition when
reloading fuel.
Rekindling:
This can be required if the ember bed should drop to a level that will not allow rapid ignition when reloading.
This can happen if the firebox mass is allowed to cool before the automatic bypass can reset. Rekindle as
per a normal start up. With the kindling alight, the door can be left slightly ajar (5-10mm with the handle
unlatched) for 5 minutes, this will increase the firebox temperature enough to allow an intermediate fuel load
to burn correctly. Follow up with a normal fuel load 5-10 minutes later.
General Operational Guidelines
DO:
When opening the door, unlatch the handle, slowly open the door approximately 25mm ajar, pause for 5-10
seconds then slowly draw the door fully open (this allows for smoke to exit correctly through the flue).
From this time forward, the UL200 can be operated much like a traditional wood fire due to its automatic
functions.
Ensure the entire fuel load fits inside the firebox before closing the door. The optimum fuel length is 300mm
pieces. It’s good to check if your wood will fit before lighting the fire.
Use well-seasoned wood with a low moisture content on start up or when rekindling the fire, then ideally use
your less seasoned wood (under 25% moisture) for normal operation. Kiln dried fuel is not recommended as
it burns much faster resulting in more fuel consumption, lower efficiency, and increased wear on the firebox
parts. Treated timbers of any kind should not be burned due to the release of harmful gases.
Keep the lower chamber closed during operation and keep it free of any foreign material. Small pieces of
charcoal may fall into the lower chamber, these will burn away in a short time.
Maintain the exterior surfaces of your fire using only a damp cotton cloth, your glass should remain clear
when the UL200 is operated correctly.
