LIGHTING YOUR STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before ligh�ng your stove for first �me make sure you have read this manual fully and acquainted
yourself with the controls of this appliance.
Ensure that you have allowed sufficient �me for the heat resistant sealant to cure.
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first �me you light your appliance.
The curing process produces a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first �me you
light your stove the room should be well ven�lated.
During the process
it is important to open and close the stove door periodically
(every 30mins) during the
first couple of firings therefore preven�ng the door seal cord around the door from s�cking and coming away
from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will disappear.
Your stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open
, the stove door must be kept closed except when
lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
Use of Fire lighters
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting your stove. (Never use methylated spirit, petrol or other
flammable liquids). lighting your stove with firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.
lighting your fire with paper results in excess smoke, more ash and possible blackening of the glass.

THE LOXTON STOVE HAS THREE AIR CONTROL LEVERS TO HELP REGULATE YOUR STOVE.
PRIMARY AIR

SECONDARY AIR
Pull out for more air,
push in close
down air
Air regula�on, the three control levers perform differing tasks in regula�ng the combustion air on your
appliance:
Primary air:
this is generally used when star�ng the fire or re igni�ng the fire. If burning smokeless brique�ed
fuel or similar then the primary will need to be open. Primary air comes from below the grate.
Secondary air:
this is commonly known as air wash, preheated air flows in a con�nuous thin stream down the
glass and into the very heart of the wood fire, when burning wood this should always be open to enable cleaner
combustion.
Ter�ary Air:
this is injected into the rear of the fire chamber above the logs, enabling re combustion of already
burnt gases and improving the quality of combustion.
If the stove is to be operated in a Smoke Control Area then this control MUST remain pushed in at all �mes.
TERTIARY AIR
Pull out for less air,
push in for normal air
