Getting Started/User Instructions
3. Recommended Fuels
3.1 Wood Logs:
Burn only seasoned timber with a moisture content of less
than 20%. To ensure this allow cut wood to dry for 12 to 18
months.

All 300mm

Maximum diameter for all models: 100mm
Poor quality timber:
— Causes low combustion efficiency.
— Produces harmful condensation.
— Reduces effectiveness of the airwash and life of the
appliance.
Do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated
/ treated wood, manufactured board products or pallet
wood.
4. Lighting the Appliance
4.1 For best results fully open the air controls.
4.2 Place firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the
base bricks.
A successful fire initially requires plenty of kindling to
establish a hot firebox and warm the chimney to aid flue
performance.
4.3 Light the paper or firelighters.
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.
4.6 Close the door and follow the instructions for Running
the appliance.
Refuel as detailed in Section 5.
*Registered on the Competent Persons Scheme (GB
only) see page 16/ INFO (Republic of Ireland).
5. Running the Appliance
5.1 Close the Air control to a third and adjust to control the
temperature in accordance with personal preference.
6. Refuelling the Appliance
6.1 Open the Air control 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 2.
Compact Stacking
Open Stacking
2
Open stacking allows oxygen to easily reach every part of
the fire.
Compact stacking will make the wood burn slower as fire
can only reach the outside of the wood. 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 adjusting the burn rate using the Air
control.
Do not close the Air control 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 Air control
closed for long periods of time. This reduces the glass
cleaning effect, 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, running the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.
6.6 When running the appliance refuel little and often for
clean, efficient burning.
6.7 Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx 1” deep).
A bright and clean firebox indicates the appliance is
burning well.
