User Instructions

Once long flames appear over the fire, reduce the air control to the
“high output” setting. Once the fire is well established - with each
log alight at the top - the air setting can be reduced again, depending
on the type of fire required.
Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to
work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air
controls to the required setting. If at any stage the flames start to go
out or the glass begins to discolour, a higher setting is required. To
achieve this, pull the air control back out to re-establish a consistent
burn.
During the lighting period, do not leave the stove unattended. Do
not leave the door open except as directed above to avoid excessive
smoke. When relighting the stove, riddle slightly and then empty the
ashpan.
LIGHTING
On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the
silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This
is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room
should be kept well ventilated. At first only light a small fire and burn
it slowly for two hours to allow any residual moisture in the bricks to
evaporate.
Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters.
Set the grate into the closed position. Place the paper, or fire
lighters, and kindling on the grate and cover with a few small dry
logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 3). Light the paper or fire
lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a few minutes to
assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more quickly.
When the kindling wood is well alight add a few small logs and close
the door, but leave the air control fully open. When the flames are
established around the smaller logs, load the stove with larger logs
to the level of the air holes in the back firebricks. See page 4 for
maximum log sizes for each stove. Maintain the air control at
maximum at this stage.
