FUEL
Wood only - All types of wood are suitable provided they are well seasoned, UNTREATED, and have a moisture
level between 12% and 20%. For soft woods, typically they will need to have been left in suitable storage for
9+ months in order for the moisture to evaporate. For hardwoods, this will usually be 18 months+. It is
recommended that logs should be no more than 4” or 125mm in diameter.
If you are unsure of the moisture content of your fuel, then you can buy a moisture meter which will indicate
the moisture levels in your fuel.
Liquid fuels must NEVER be used.
WARNING: Wet timber should not be used as this will create excess tar deposits in the chimney and stove and
could increase the risk of chimney fire. Timber which is not of a suitable moisture content will also create
more smoke and harmful emissions.
Never use your stove as incinerator to burn waste or rubbish. Never burn Petro-Coke or coals designed only
for open-fires.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Your stove has two air inlet areas (see diagram above)-
The upper vent provides air supply for the glass air-wash system this is called the Secondary air when this
vent is open, the door glass is kept clean by high speed air rushing downwards across the inside of the glass.
By moving the Secondary vent knob to the left, airflow into the stove is increased.
