Recommended fuel: Smokeless Coal
Smokeless fuels, including Coalite Nuts, Phurnacite, Ancit and Extracite.
The maximum fuel load to be a total weight of 0.75kg. This should burn for about an hour before
needing to refuel, then the appliance is burning at about 5kw.
Please note that HETAS LTD Appliance approval only covers the use of wood logs and approved
smokeless fuels on this appliance. HETAS LTD Approval does not cover the use of other fuels
either alone or mixed with the recommended fuels above, nor does it cover instructions for the use
of other fuels.
Not recommended as fuel:
Green or damp wood reduces stove efficiency and soils the glass, the internal walls and the flue
(soot, tar, etc.).
Used timber. Burning treated wood (railway sleepers, telegraph poles, off cuts of plywood or chip
board, pallets, etc.) quickly clogs the flue ways (soot, tar,) etc, pollutes the environment (pollution
and smell,) etc, and cause the fire to burn too quickly and overheat.
“Green wood” and “recovered wood” can eventually cause a chimney fire.
Prohibited fuel
:
Plastic bags and any form of bituminous coal or petroleum based coke.
Do not use the appliance as
an incinerator or use any liquid fuels.
This is very dangerous, may damage the product and
pollute the atmosphere
.
3.2 Use
Odours when using the stove for the first time
Painted products:
The stove may emit an irritating gas when used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas
is not toxic, but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or smells can be detected. Evacuate all
people from the room until all odours have cleared. If for any reason the odours do not clear,
extinguish the fire & seek professional assistance.
Enameled products:
Condensation may form on the surface of the stove the first few times it is used. This must be wiped
off to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats up, taking adequate precautions and
protection from the hot stove surface.
Air Control: See figure 4
Always use the key provided to operate the air controls
The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using three air controls for smokeless fuel
burning and wood burning, however the tertiary air control
must be
set to the fully open position
