When you are ready to light the fire, simply light the firelighter.
Once the fire has been lit, leave the door partially open to allow additional airflow until
the fire has become established. Once the fire is established, the door should be fully
closed, and the level of the primary and secondary air controllers should be carefully
reduced, to achieve the desired effect.
When the stove is running ALL HANDLES become hot and the
operating tool or glove provided should be used to open or close the
door, or adjust the air controllers.
The burning rate of the stove can now be regulated by the rate at which fuel is added and
use of the air control. In order to achieve nominal heat output, the maximum amount of
fuel to be loaded during normal operation is 2kg per hour.
This appliance is not an incinerator and only dry well seasoned wood
or approved solid fuels should be used. Burning other solid fuels such
as treated wood is not possible.
When refuelling the stove it is recommended that the logs are placed running side to side
as in fig.13 as this leads to the cleanest combustion. Before lighting a full fire in the stove
for the first time it is recommended that 3 smaller fires are lit first to ensure that any
moisture is driven out.
