Smoke Control Kit Instructions

4
If the fire subsides when the air vent control is
closed, re-open the air vent control to re-establish the
flames.
Experience establishes settings to suit personal
preferences.
Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the air vent
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.
When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
When running the appliance:
Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
Wood burns best on a bed of ash.
A bright and clean firebox indicates the appliance is
burning well.
5. Controlling the air
The appliance has various features for the air control.
Air vent
Forwards position = closed.
Backwards position = open.
Ignition air
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.
5. Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
If you frequently have low intensity fires, tar and creosote
may be deposited in the chimney. Tar and creosote are
highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of these
substances might catch fire when the temperature in the
chimney increases suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is
necessary for the fire to regularly burn at a high output for
short periods, so that layers of tar and creosote
disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar deposits on the
appliance window and door.
When the outside temperature is not very low, it is better
to burn wood intensely for a few hours instead of having
a low intensity fire for a long period of time.
Control the heat output with the air vent control.
The air vent control not only supplies air to the
fire but to the glass as well, so that it does not get
dirty so quickly.
Open the ignition vent control for a time if the air supply
by the air vent control is inadequate or if you want to
boost the fire.
Do not use the appliance continuously with the
air controls fully open.
It is better to add a small amount of logs regularly than to
add many logs at the same time.
6. Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the supply of air, harmful
substances will be produced and released. Therefore, let
the fire go out naturally. Keep an eye on the fire until it is
gone out. If the fire has died completely, all air inlets can
be closed.
