6. The door should only be opened again when the fuel has burned right down and you
want to put new fuel in.
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.
It is recommended that the secondary air regulator is kept fully open in order for the “glass
cleaning” to be most efficient, and to avoid the glass “fogging”.
7. Use the amount of fuel you place in the stove to regulate the room temperature.
To burn at the nominal output, the stove requires refueling every 45-50mins with
approximately 1.1kg of wood logs.
8. When adding larger wood it is good practice to put in a couple of smaller bits first as the
larger logs then light faster, so producing less smoke. When adding wood, the primary air
control must always be open, and left open until the new logs have caught fire. At that
point close the primary control and leave the secondary air to facilitate the combustion.
9. When using brown coal briquette, leave the primary air regulator open and ensure the
fuel selector lever is fully to the right.
THE STOVE SHOULD NEVER BE FILLED EXCESSIVELY. EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF
WOOD OR AIR FOR COMBUSTION CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING AND DAMAGE THE
STOVE.
During the first few times the stove is used, it is possible that it can produce a slight smell
while the paint is curing. This will disappear after a short while. If the smell appears, open
the windows of the room for ventilation.
ATTENTION
THE ASHPAN MUST BE TIGHTLY CLOSED FOR PROPER REGULATION OF THE
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR. If ash is allowed to build up behind the ashpan then it
can prevent the ashpan sealing properly.
