Peanut Stove manual

The central knob below the door provides Primary air from underneath the grate – this is the primary source

of air supply for combustion. Pulling this knob out away from the stove increases the amount of Primary

airflow into the stove. This vent will normally be open when first lighting the stove. Once the fire is well

established (see instructions below) this vent must be closed (when burning wood).

-NEVER leave the Primary vent open when burning wood other than on start-up and for a maximum of 3

minutes when re-fuelling.

(Note: there is also a vent on the face of the ash tray – this needs to be open when the Primary air is open

too.)

The third air inlet is located underneath the stove and controlled by the knob to the right of the Primary knob.

This is known as the Tertiary control. Pulling the knob out away from the stove increases the airflow into the

stove. The air is then channelled through a chamber on rear of the stove and to the rear of the firebox and

enters the firebox via a series of small holes in the in the back wall of the stove. This air inlet helps to ensure

thorough and clean combustion. – If you find the fire is burning too quickly, this vent can be shut down almost

completely, though it is designed to always ‘bleed’ a minimal amount of air in for clean burning.

The Entire Stove Will Become HOT!

The glove is provided for adjusting the air inlets and for opening the door when the stove is hot, as these

knobs will heat up when in use.

NOTE – all parts of the stove will become hot during use and care needs to be taken to avoid injury through

burning.

LIGHTING THE FIRE

• Prior to lighting the fire for the first time, ensure that-

• Installation and building work is complete.

• The chimney is suitable and sound and has been swept and free from obstruction.

• Adequate ventilation and provision for combustion air has been made.

• That the stove installation has been carried out in accordance with Building Regulations and any

applicable local regulations as well as these installation instructions.

• That chimney draw has been checked and within specification. (The stove has been tested at nominal

output with a flue draught of 12 Pa)

ESSENTIAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE – It is essential to follow these ‘tempering-in’ instructions in order to

avoid serious damage to your stove. The castings of your stove require very gentle ‘normalising’ to release

stresses in the metal formed during the casting process. The high temperature paint finish also requires

curing: -

Initial paint curing:

Note: NEVER wipe the stove in the early stages (prior to paint fully curing), as the paint will be very soft and

will damage easily. NEVER attempt to clean or wipe the paint surface when warm or hot. Please read the

following and follow thoroughly.

The stove is finished in specialist high temperature coating which is air-dry but not yet cured. The stove should

be brought up to temperature gradually over the course several fires to complete this process. If the stove
