Operating The Stove With The Door Open
This stove should not be operated with the door open, we do not recommend this. This stove
is designed to be operated with the door closed as this gives improved efficiency and air
flows. Certain fuels such as wood and peat will burn better this way but it is vitally important
that you
do not leave the fire unattended with the door open at any time.
Always keep
the door closed and the handle in the locked position.
Controlling The Stove
The right hand primary slider and the secondary
and tertiary slider bar below the door
(see Fig.
2)
control the rate of burning and in turn the
heat output. The clean air wash is known as the
secondary air control and the Eco-Cleanburn is
known as the tertiary. These are fully controlled
by the left slider bar. The primary air control slider
should only be left fully open when lighting or
when rapid burning is needed. If the slider is left
open for long periods then over-firing may occur.
Once lit we recommend the primary slider be left
slightly open, and adjust accordingly to control
the fire.
The door handle, two control bars (air wash and primary) and riddle bar will heat
up when the fire is lit and running. But when you need to touch them to adjust or
reload the fire you must wear gloves.
Therefore to avoid injury please wear
appropriate hand protection when touching any part of the stove
as the body,
the glass and the primary air knob can get very hot.
Refuelling
Keep the firebox well filled to maintain the fire
but for safety reasons it is important not to overfill
the stove, your fuel must not be spilling over the
top of the front grill or touching the door or glass
panel. Doing this could cause the fire to spill out
when opening the door. Overfilling can also cause
the glass to black up. Do not fill past the fill line,
which is 50mm below the tertiary holes as this
may restrict airflow to the Eco-Cleanburn bar.
(
see Fig. 3
).
When adding fuel ensure that the appropriate
protection is worn such as a heat resistant glove
and tools such as fire poker, tong or shovel are
used.
