Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance
door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be
operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.
FUEL
Wood- All types of wood are suitable provided they are wells seasoned, UNTREATED, and have a moisture level between
12% and 20%. For soft woods, typically they will need to have been left in suitable storage for 9+ months in order for the
moisture to evaporate. For hardwoods, this will usually be 18 . It is recommended that logs should be no more than
5” or 125mm in diameter. Logs should be no more than 350mm in length. If you are unsure of the moisture content of your
fuel, then you can buy a moisture meter which will indicate the moisture levels in your fuel.
Liquid fuels must NEVER be used.
WARNING: Wet timber should not be used as this will create excess tar deposits in the chimney and stove and could increase
the risk of chimney fire. Timber which is not of a suitable moisture content will also create more smoke and harmful
emissions.
Manufactured smokeless coals and anthracite can be used and will all have different qualities and effects. – Do NOT use
Petro-Coke based fuels or any petroleum based fuels as this will invalidate the warranty. Do NOT use coal that is designed
only for open fires
Never use your stove as incinerator to burn waste or rubbish.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Your stove has three air inlet areas-
The Primary vent is located in the bottom of the door and is controlled by a knob that slides left and right. This allows air
underneath the grate of the stove. This is normally left closed but can be opened to allow maximum air into the stove when
first lighting if required.
The Secondary vent is located under the stove and is controlled by a lever under the bottom shelf of the stove marked “S”.
Pull it away from the stove to open the vent fully. This allows air in to the stove which is then channelled around up the sides
and enters the firebox above the top of the door glass. This also helps to keep the glass clearer. To ensure thorough
combustion this vent is always partly open even in the minimum position (with the vent control pushed away from you).
The Tertiary vent is located underneath the stove and is controlled by a lever underneath the bottom shelf of the stove marked
“T”. Pull it away from the stove to open the vent fully. This allows air in to the back of the firebox to aid clean combustion.
This control is designed such that this air supply to be stove cannot be fully shutdown. This is necessary to aid a clean
combustion and comply with appliance exemption under the Clean Air Act 1993 for use within UK Smoke Control Areas.
TOOLS
The glove is provided for adjusting the air inlets and for opening the door when the stove is hot, as these knobs will heat up
when in use.
NOTE – all parts of the stove will become hot during use and care needs to be taken to avoid injury through burning.
