When these are burning well the primary air slider (on the front of the stove) can be closed
leaving the secondary air spin wheels fully open. Once a good bed of glowing embers has
formed a normal load of approximately 2 to 3 kgs of wood logs can be added. A stove
handle cover is included with the stove – place the black cover over the handle when
opening and closing the door, then remove and leave near the stove.
In the presence of children, elderly or infirm people a fireguard should be used. The
fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 – Fireguards for use
with solid fuel appliances.
User warning - parts become very hot while the stove is running so should not be touched
with bare hands. The special operating tool, stove handle cover and a pair of gloves are
provided for operation of the hot stove.
TO RE-FUEL THE STOVE
When re-fuelling the stove always open the firebox door gently, this will equalise the
firebox pressure and avoid any smoke escaping into the room. Place the new refuel charge
onto a hot bed of glowing embers, fully open the primary and secondary air controls for a
period of approximately 2 minutes or, until the refuel charge is burning well. At this
stage the primary air control slider can be closed and secondary air spin wheels adjusted to
the desired setting.
Note :
Never overfill the firebox with fuel.
Always ensure the fire is burning well before closing the air controls to the desired
settings.
Never operate the stove for long periods with the primary air control fully open.
Always refuel onto a hot bed of glowing embers.
AIR CONTROLS
Primary air is controlled by a lever located at the front of the stove. When pushed back the
air supply is in the fully closed position. Sliding the control lever forward opens up the air
supply.
Secondary air (the main air supply when burning wood) is controlled by two rotary spin
wheels located at the top of the stove, one on each side. In order to maintain a clean burn
the two controls have been fitted with a limit stop and cannot be fully closed down.
Tertiary air is controlled by a swivel plate located at the rear, left hand side of the stove.
This too has been fitted with a limit stop, which should be closed to the stop position during
normal operation.
