5. Running the Appliance
Burning Wood
5.1 Leave the Secondary Air fully open.
5.2 Close the Primary air control and use the Airwash to
control the burn rate when appliance is at operating
temperature, see Diagram 10

Wood burns best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).
Rake the embers evenly over the firebed and open the
Airwash Control fully for a few minutes before re-fuelling.
5.2 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.
5.3 Close the doors immediately after refuelling.
5.4 Burn new logs at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Airwash Control. Refuel little and often
for clean, efficient burning. More Airwash will increase the
heat output, burn fuel more quickly and will help keep the
glass clean.
Small amounts of Primary Air can sometimes help to
maintain a hot fuel bed.
5.5 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.
5.6 When in use, burning the appliance at a high temperature
for a short period also reduces tars and creosotes.
5.7 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preference.
Smoke Control version
5.8 Some appliances have been independently tested to
PD6434 and have been exempt from the controls that
generally apply in smoke control areas hence are
considered suitable for use in Smoke Control Area when
burning wood and ONLY when fitted with the relevant
Smoke Control kit .
See Section 15 - Optional Extras.
