WOOd fUEL
iMPOrTaNT: Never use toxic wood such as chipboard, impregnated or painted wood.
Good quality is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry firewood.
The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel economy and
may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains 60–70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood.
sOLid sMOKELEss fUELs- The WESTFIRE WF SERIES ONE & TWO stoves are suitable for use with good quality
smoke less fuels. The stove will burn best when burning wood. HOUSE COAL AND PETROLEUM COKE ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS STOVE; ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
Overnight burning
Westfire SERIES ONE & TWO, are designed to burn wood and can burn quality smokeless fuels.
Wood burns more efficiently and cleanly if is burnt hotter. Westfire do not recommend that their stoves are burnt
overnight for this reason.
As a night time regime we recommend that the fire is loaded when hot and burnt for five minutes with the
secondary air slider fully open until the new wood has taken and is burning, then close the secondary air valve to
its operational position.
On returning to the stove in the morning the fire will have burn out, reload with some paper or firelighter and
some kindling and open all the slider fully to relight quickly. Beware as the ash bed will have hot embers.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when the stove is in use.
Maintenance
WESTFIRE SERIES ONE & TWO stove needs to have the ash removed from the stove at regular intervals. Make
sure the stove is completely cold before cleaning out ash (embers can remain hot for over 24 hours). To operate
riddling grate push and pull riddling arm on base right of stove using tool provided with the stove.
To clean the outside of the stove use a dry cloth.
annual service
The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar
residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect
behind it and this must be cleaned out. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are
damaged or cracked, replace stove door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly positioned.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.
