OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FUEL :
SAFETY NOTICE
The most efficient use of this appliance is with
the fire door closed at all times, apart from re-
fuelling (when alight) or cleaning (when cold).
NEVER leave the appliance unattended for an
extended length of time with the door open.
WOOD— Any type of wood is suitable provided it
is well seasoned and has a moisture content below
20%. This usually implies that the timber has been
suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at
least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at
least eighteen months in the case of hard wood.
Do not exceed the maximum log length
detailed in the technical data table on page 9.
WARNING : wet wood must not be used as this
will greatly contribute to the creation of tar and
creosote which may, in extreme cases, run down
the chimney in liquid form. This will seriously
damage both the chimney and the appliance,
and increase the risk of a chimney fire.
FUEL STORAGE:
Bulk wood fuel should be stored so as to be
kept dry with a good air circulation.
Fuel kept local to the heater for convenient use
must not be stored within installation
clearances to combustibles ( see pages 17-18)
or in the space required for charging or ash
removal
Please Note : If you have sticky tar inside the
appliance or chimney your wood is ‘Green’ or
too wet.
Please Note : The burn classification for all
appliances in these instructions are classed as
intermittent use.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar
liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this
heater. Keep all such liquids well away from
the heater while in use.
Important:
Never use any type of liquid fuel to start or
refresh your stove and keep all such fluids well
away from the stove when in use.
NEVER BURN CHARCOAL IN YOUR STOVE.
Charcoal can produce high levels of Carbon
Monoxide, a highly toxic gas.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
Prior to lighting the stove for the first time,
check with the installer that :
• The chimney is sound and has been swept and
is free from obstruction.
• Adequate provision for combustion air has been
made, i.e. a permanent vent of at least 550mm
sq per KW of rated output above 5KW, is fitted in
the room in which the appliance is installed. That
Local Building Codes have been followed during
installation. See installation section of this
manual.
• All firebox liner panels, throat plate and
insulation blanket are in place.
• That the chimney draw has been checked and is
within specification. With the chimney warm, the
draught should be between 1.2-2 mm water
gauge or 0.12 to 0.2 mbar.
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ &
UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE LIGHTING THE FIRE.
ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE FIRE
GLOVES WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.
DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITH CRACKED OR
BROKEN DOOR GLASS.
