4.f Instructions for use with wood
We recommend placing scrunched up paper or firelighters in the centre of the grate.
Arrange kindling in a tepee shape around it. Light the paper or firelighter. Once the
kindling is burning gradually increase the size of log until the fire is established.
THE AIR CONTROLS
To start
Pull both controls out to the open position and swing the boost disc up (the RH knob
will protrude approx 10mm further than the LH knob in the fully open position).
Once established
Close the boost disc.
If you are burning wood you can now close the primary air control (LH knob) fully. The
rate of burn is now controlled using only the secondary knob (RH knob). When the
smoke control kit is fitted your stove has a restrictor plate fitted to this control, so that
it cannot be fully closed. This is to prevent excessive smoke.
Wood will burn most eciently when burnt in complete loads – let the fire burn down
to a bed of glowing embers before refuelling the fire box with new logs. Open both
controls fully again to get the new fuel burning – once alight re-adjust contols to the
desired position.
REFUELLING ON TO A LOW FIRE BED (NOT MUCH FUEL GLOWING)
If there is insucient burning material in the fire bed to light a new load of fuel,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sucient
quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel load will ignite in a reasonable
period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling and follow
previous steps i.e. open controls and disc etc.

Warning - loading fuel without opening controls can lead to a
sudden ignition and potential damage to your stove and flue system.
