OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.10 AIR CONTROLS

1.11 DOOR HANDLE

To open and close the door use the tool provided as

shown.

1.12 RIDDLING GATE

De-ash the firebed, using the riddling grate system as shown

below.

Never operate the grate with your bare hands

2.1

When new it is best to burn the fire at a low output for the

first few days of use. This will allow the construction to

settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.

AVOID TOUCHING THE PAINT DURING FIRST PERIOD

OF USE.

2.2

During this time the appliance may give off some

unpleasant odours, and we recommend that you keep the

room well ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up

of fumes.

3.1

Open the Airwash control fully and open the Primary air

control to approximately 25% open.

3.2

Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on

the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling

wood. Light the paper or firelighters.

3.3

To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass it is

advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire

establishes, and the glass warms.
