Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1")
deep).
6.2 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash
Control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the
glass cleaning effect of the Airwash and causes tars and
creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.
6.3 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period reduces tars and creosotes.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-
FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.
Refuelling
6.4 Open the Primary Air and Airwash controls fully.
Rake the embers evenly over the firebed to establish a
glowing firebed. If the firebed is low add a small amount
of kindling wood to help re-establish the fire.
6.5 Do not refuel when a large amount of flames are in the
firebox as this could cause smoke or flames to spill
into the room.
6.6 Close the doors immediately after refuelling.
These are wide appliances and the logs should be laid out
in a single layer with gaps between, see Diagram 11.
Do not stack the logs on top of each other as this could
effect the efficiency.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE APPLIANCE AS TOO MUCH
FUEL COULD CAUSE IT TO OVER-FIRE.
5.5 Add larger pieces of wood.
Do not use full sized logs at this stage, build up gradually in
size. Too many logs may smother the fire.
Fuel Loading:
These are wide appliances and the logs should be laid out
in a single layer with gaps between, see Diagram 11.
Do not stack the logs on top of each other as this could
effect the efficiency.
DO NOT OVERLOAD THE APPLIANCE AS THE HEAT
OUTPUT WILL BE TOO HIGH.
Be sure to use split logs and not whole pieces of wood.
Too much fuel in the firebox will cause the appliance to
reach higher temperatures than intended.
This can damage the interior components of the fire.
Suggested Loads:
Studio 500 - 2/3 logs no bigger than 5" (127mm) diameter
Studio 1 & 2 - 3/4 logs no bigger than 5" (127mm) diameter
Studio 3 - 4/5 logs no bigger than 5" (127mm) diameter

5.6 Close the door and follow the instructions for Running the
Appliance.
Do not run with the door slightly open except for initial
lighting as this could cause over-firing and damage the
appliance.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE PRIMARY AIR CONTROL OPEN FOR LONG
PERIODS OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-
FIRING AND MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
