OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.4 As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of wood and close the Primary air
control and control the burn rate using the Airwash air control only.
1.5 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed od ash to build-up on the grate, and
continue to control the combustion using the Airwash air control only.
1.6 Before re-fuelling the appliance it is advisable to first rake the embers evenly over the
firebed then open the Airwash air control fully for a few minutes, to establish a
glowing bed before adding new logs.
1.7 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn
rate with the Airwash air control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and
often to maintain clean and efficient burning.
1.8 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will
be established by experience in using the appliance.
1.9 It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with the Airwash air
control on low settings for long periods of time. This will reduce the effectiveness of
the glass cleaning effect of the Airwash air. Also this will cause a large build-up of tars
and creosotes in the appliance and flue system.
We would recommend that the Stockton is burnt at high output for at least 30 minutes
each day when it is in use. This will help reduce the build-up of tars and build-ups of tars
and creosotes within the appliance.
