Poor quality timber:
— Causes low combustion efficiency
— Produces harmful condensation
— Reduces effectiveness of the airwash and life of the
appliance
Do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated
/ treated wood, manufactured board products or pallet
wood.
3.2 Solid fuel:
— Burn only anthracite or manufactured briquette
smokeless fuels listed as suitable for use with closed
heating appliances
Donotburnbituminouscoal,‘petro-coke’orother
petroleum based fuels as this will invalidate the product
guarantee.
3.3 Fuel consumption.
As tested at nominal heat output to the requirements of EN

4.3 Place firelighters, or paper, and dry kindling wood on the
grate (Multi-fuel version) or firebed (Woodburning version).
A successful fire initially requires plenty of kindling to
establish a hot firebox and warm the chimney to aid flue
performance.
4.4 Light the paper or firelighters, see Diagram 8.
