• Wood burns best on a bed of ash
• Rake the embers evenly over the fire bed and open the
Damper control (Diagram 6) fully for a few minutes before
re-fuelling
5.2 Burn new logs at high output for a few minutes before
adjusting the Air Damper control if required. Refuel little
and often for clean, efficient burning.
5.3 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.
5.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Air Damper
control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the
build up of tar and creosote in the appliance and flue
system.
5.5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
5.6 Burning Solid fuel:
To burn smokeless fuels it is required to fit a multi-fuel kit/
cast basket as listed:
