Fire needs air to burn therefore the stove is fitted with an air control that allows you to
regulate the amount of combustion air therefore controlling the burn rate within the
appliance.
Secondary Air Intake
The secondary air intake is located on the front of the stove below the door, it is in the form
of a slider. Having the slider pushed to the right indicates that the air intake is in the
closed/minimum position and to the left indicates it is in the fully open/maximum position.
Air entering through this control is directed through the holes in the rear of the firebox and
also down the inside of the glass creating the AIRWASH system – see below. The air wash
system allows the glass to remain soot and particle free. This control is used at initial
lighting and to control the burn rate of your wood.
The sections LIGHTING THE STOVE & BURNING WOOD give a step by step guide on
how to operate this control.
Thermostat Control
This control is in the form of a dial which makes the end of the secondary air intake slider,
located on the front of the stove. The thermostat provides an automatically regulated
additional air intake. This air intake will close (cutting off the additional air supply) when the
water temperature inside the boiler reaches 80°c. Turning the dial fully clockwise indicates
the control is completely open (maximum additional combustion air) and fully anti-
clockwise indicates the control is closed (zero additional combustion air). This particular air
intake is adjustable throughout the rotation of the dial. Please note this control will lock
shut once the water has reached 80°c (once the water temperature drops below this point
you will be able to operate the control again).
Air wash System
Air wash is a system where secondary air is drawn into the stove (by combustion) through
the secondary air control and is deflected down the back face of the glass, thus preventing
the smoke coming into contact with the glass. It does not mean that you will never have to
clean the glass, but substantially lengthens the periods between having to do so. The air-
wash system works best when burning dry wood. Wet wood will produce more deposits
on the glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass when the stove is operated
on low heat for extended periods (where fuel is only just smouldering).
