re-fueLing
To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way.
Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.
Before refuelling, open secondary air control fully, also open primary air control fully and leave for 5 minutes.
Open door gently, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 33cm with a combined weight of approx 1.5kg and
close the door. Leave the air controls open for 10 minutes to allow the fire to reach a good temperature. Close
(push in) primary air control and slide secondary air control to position for the stove.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air controls and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire depart-
ment.
If your stove is overheating close all air controls, ensure door is firmly closed, leave stove until it has returned to
nominal temperature.

You will need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the secondary air intake correctly,
as factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and the external conditions
play a large role in your stove performance. It is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; however
incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the inside of your stove and glass.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by
crumpling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are
good if the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.
