1) Set the air wash (secondary) air control to about one quarter open and the primary air control
fully open.
2) Lay the fire by using several layers of dry kindling wood into a crisscross grid pattern on top of
the grate bars. The use of two or three firelighters may assist in lighting the kindling.
3) After the kindling has caught light, you should almost close the fire door leaving it ajar by about
10mm. This will aid the flue draw during the initial lighting of the appliance.
4) Once the flue draw has been established, after about five minutes, carefully load the stove with
solid fuel, it is suggested that the initial loading is best done using fire tongs and placing the fuel,
rather than shoveling the fuel.
5) When the fire is well alight regulate the burning rate by controlling the primary air control.
6) The secondary air control (air wash) should be closed enough to enable a sufficient supply of air
to the glass to keep the door glass clean.
7) Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt
fuel will fall between the grate bars into the ash pan. Please see 'Section13-Further Information
on the procedure for riddling.
