User Manual

1) For the first three fires (all on the same night), use KINDLING ONLY, with each burning for 15-20 minutes

and each fire using approx. 500 grams of kindling. Start the second and third kindling fires whilst the fire is still

warm from previous fires, but with around 30 minutes cooling time in between. Once the three kindling fires

have burnt through, and whilst the stove is still warm, but slightly cooled, light a normal fire with three dry

logs weighing around 1.2 kgs in total. This fire should burn for between 45 and 60 minutes. Now allow to

FULLY COOL naturally. The paint should now be cured.

2) Once the curing process has been completed satisfactorily, normal fires can be lit –

Next Stage - stove tempering:

For the first 3 hours burning use just small wood fires, then for the next 15-20 hours, total burn time, fires

must be very gently increased in temperature and log size and load and NO SOLID FUELS (products other than

wood) must be used during this period. A stove thermometer will be a valuable tool in helping you to achieve

this and to ensure an efficient burn rate in future. After these small fires, gently increase fires over the course

of a week or so. Starting a large fire too soon is likely to damage the stove in which case will not be covered by

the warranty.

ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE, AND

THAT YOU ARE CONFIDENT THE STOVE HAS BEEN INSTALLED CORRECTLY.

ALWAYS WEAR A PROTECTIVE GLOVE WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.

Ignition (FOLLOW INITITAL TEMPERING INSTRUCTIONS FIRST TO AVOID DAMAGE)

• Ensure the ash-pan is in place.

• Ensure all air inlets are fully open

• Construct a pile of kindling in the middle of the grate using approximately 1kg of kindling wood

• Light with a single chemical firelighter

• Partially shut the door but leaving it cracked open slightly

• After about 5 minutes or when the fire is well established, shut the door

• After a further 3-5 minutes as the fire starts to die, add a further three larger pieces of wood weighing

approx. 1kg.

• Once theses logs are alight, and after about 7 minutes or so, a normal load of 2 or 3 logs weighing up

to 1.5kg (for the ST2) or 2.2kg (for ST4), (ONLY AFTER THE INITIAL TEMPERING PERIOD HAS BEEN

FOLLOWED – SEE ABOVE)

• Once this load is burning well, the Primary and Secondary vents can be altered according to your

required burn rate and chimney draw strength.

Refuelling

• Open all air vents

• Add up 1.5kg (for the ST2) or 2.2kg (for ST4) of wood

• After about 2 to 3 minutes or when flames from the fresh fuel fully established, reduce the Primary

vent as necessary.

• At high power output, your stove will require refuelling approximately every hour.

• It is important to follow these instructions in order to achieve clean burning and to maximise the

efficiency of the stove

• Do not leave the fire unattended until flames are well established on the newly charged logs
