BURNING WOOD LOGS

If you are only burning wood logs, you may allow a bed of ash to build up on top of

the grate to a level of about 20mm forming a flat surface on which the wood may

burn. You will then use the “air-wash” front lever to provide the combustible air and

control the burn rate of the fire. For fully open, turn the lever to the right. By turning

the lever gradually you will be able to control the rate of burn – fully open being the

fastest burn producing most heat. To establish the fire it is acceptable to open the

primary air as well. Once the fire is bright, close the primary air control and use the

secondary air to control the rate of burn for the fire. You will not have to clean out

your stove after every firing as wood will burn better with a slight build up of ash in

the ashpan. It is not advisable to burn painted or recovered wood (such as railway

sleepers) as this contains harmful toxins or flammables which may cause the wood

to ‘spit’.

If you are burning solid fuel or a mixture with wood DO NOT allow a bed of ash to

build up above the level of the sides of the ash can. Solid fuel needs combustible air

to flow through it from underneath. When burning solid fuel, this air is needed to

keep the grate from overheating. Failure to allow a sufficient flow of air through the

grate will result in the grate burning out in a very short period of time. This will not

be covered by any warranty claim. You will get some spillage of ash to the back and

sides of the ashcan itself and you must ensure that this is cleaned out regularly and

from behind the internal baffle plate. If you do not do this, you may buckle the

baffle plate or in the extreme, burn it out.

WARNING NOTE

Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit

fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and re-fuelling

may occur. However persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous

and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, the following

immediate actions should be taken:-

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.

c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.

d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission

has been identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

Use of fireguard

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are

present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The

fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539.

Aerosol sprays

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

Use of operating tools

Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when

the stove is in use.
