Burning Solid fuel
open the grate by using the tool that is
supplied with the stove
For best results set air controls primary
air open and air wash open
Open the Primary air control fully to
establish a glowing bed before adding
new fuel
Burn new fuel at high output for a few
minutes before adjusting the primary air
control to the desired setting
Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air Control on low settings for long periods of time.
This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the air wash and causes tars and soot to build-up in the
appliance and flue system.
When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and soot.
You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in closed appliances.
Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels as this invalidates
the product guarantee.
Fuel Quality Wood
Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%. Seasoned logs have the bark beginning to lift and
peel away and cracks radiating from the center. They feel lighter than fresh cut wood of a similar size
and sound hollow when struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well
Smoke and small flames
Dirty glass and/or firebricks
Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney
Low heat output
Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption andblue/grey smoke from the chimney
Burn at high output for a short period each day to avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within the
appliance and the flue system.
