Ignition air vent control
The Uno has an integral air vent combined with the main
combustion air control. This is activated by pushing the
control fully back to the maximum open position.
This is used to provide additional combustion air when
first lighting the appliance and refuelling.
When the fire is established return the control to the
normal operating position.
Do not run the stove continuously with the ignition
control in the maximum position.
4. Refuelling the Appliance
Open the air vent control fully and burn for a few minutes
before refuelling.
Rake the embers evenly over the fire bed to establish
a glowing firebed.
If the fire bed is low add a small amount of kindling
wood to help re-establish the fire and prevent excess
smoke.
Open stacking
Open stacking allows oxygen to easily reach every part of
the fire.
Compact stacking
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.
Do not fill to more than 1/3 capacity.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed:
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to
light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can
occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel
charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too
few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to
prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual
should not be exceeded, overloading can cause excess
smoke.
After refuelling:
Burn the new logs at high output for approximately 5
minutes before adjusting the burn rate using the air
vent control.
Do not close the air vent control until the fire is
burning well.
