recommended to use the Glove provided to
open the fire door as the door handle will
become hot.
1. Open the fire door and open the primary air
control by pulling it fully out.
2. Open the secondary air inlet by pulling the
control fully out.
3. Cover the grate with crumpled pieces of
paper and lay 10-12 pieces of kindling on top
of the paper towards the back of the firebox.
4. lgnite and close the fire door.
5. When the kindling is well alight open the fire
door and add more kindling of a larger size
to sustain the fire. Close the fire door.
6. When a hot fire bed is established add the
normal fuel.
7. When well lighted, adjust the air controls as
required depending on the fuel type being
used & the heat output required (see Table
below). Both controls should be adjusted in
conjunction with each other to get the
appropriate burn rate with exact settings on
each control depending on the draught
conditions of the chimney to which the unit is

REFUELLING
Before opening the door, open the primary air
control fully as this will help to eliminate any
smoke or fly ash resident in the combustion
chamber. Add fuel to fire, close fire door and adjust
the primary air control to the desired position.
SLOW BURNING
Slow burning will cause the window glass to blacken
and can craze the glass this should not be used for
a long period. It should only be done after the fire has
been established and been running at nominal output
for a period of time. For a prolonged slow burn, fill
the firebox of fuel up to a maximum height just
below the top of the fire fence at the front of the door
opening. Push the primary air control knob in to
close the primary air to the minimum setting and
push the secondary air control in to set the
secondary air to the minimum setting. Please refer
to Page 4 items 6 & 7
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Your stove is provided with an ashpan. This ashpan
should be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the grate by overheating. We recommend
that you remove ashes after you have riddled the fire
when the stove is thoroughly cooled.
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-
combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled.
Open the firedoor and remove the ashpan using the
tool provided, see Fig 11. Close the firedoor. When
the ash is disposed of replace the ashpan.
