250 with Smoke Control Installation & User Instructions

User Instructions
4.4 Leave the door slightly open as the fire establishes and the
glass warms to avoid build up of condensation.
4.5 Add larger pieces of wood.
Do not use full sized logs at this stage, build up gradually in
size. Too many logs may smother the fire.
Do not load fuel above the log guard and the lower edge
of baffle at the back of the firebox, see Diagram 7.

4.6 Close the door and follow the instructions for Running the
Appliance.
Do not run with the door slightly open except for initial
lighting as this could cause over-firing and damage the
appliance.
5. Running the Appliance
Wood Burning
5.1 Close the Primary air control and use the Airwash
to control the burn rate when appliance is at operating
temperature, see Diagram 8.

Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).
Small amounts of Primary Air can sometimes help to
maintain a hot fuel bed.
5.2 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash
Control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the
glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and causes tars and
creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.
5.3 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN OR AIRWASH
ON MAXIMUM FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AS
THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-FIRING AND MAY CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE.
5.4 Do not refuel when a large amount of flames are in the
firebox as this could cause smoke or flames to spill
into the room.
6. Refuelling the Appliance - Wood
6.1 Open the Primary and Airwash air controls fully.
Rake the embers evenly over the firebed to establish a
glowing firebed. If the firebed is low add a small amount
of kindling wood to help re-establish the fire.
Stack the logs in an open arrangement, see Diagram 9.
Compact Stacking
Open Stacking

Open stacking allows oxygen to easily reach every part of
the fire.
Compact stacking will make the wood burn slower as wood
can only reach the outside of the fire. This will cause the fire
to smoulder and produce smoke.
6.2 After refuelling:
Burn the new logs at a high temperature for a few
minutes before closing the Primary Air control. Adjust
the burn rate using the Airwash control.
Do not close the air controls until the fire is burning well.
6.3 Experience establishes settings to suit personal
preferences.
6.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash control
closed for long periods of time. This reduces the glass
cleaning effect and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in
the appliance and flue system and will produce excessive
amounts of smoke.
6.5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
6.6 When running the appliance refuel little and often for
clean, efficient burning.
