14. seAsoNAl Use
14.1 Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the
warmer periods of the year as detailed in the Maintenance
and Servicing section
14.2 Set the air controls 50% open to keep the appliance
ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.
14.3 Before re-lighting the appliance:
• Remove the baffles
• Clear any debris that may have accumulated
• Check the flue is clear of any blockages
15. TRoUBlesHooTING TIPs
15.1 Appliance is producing tar:
This is identified by:
• A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is
lit and heats up
• Thick, brown and sticky tar oozes from the pipe joints
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your
appliance at too low a temperature;
• Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance in the
ideal temperature range
Tar is a major cause of chimney fires - if you experience
problems with tar build up consult a chimney sweep before
continued use of your appliance.
Ideal working temperature range is 130°C and 240°C
(270°F – 465°F). Failing to close down the primary air
control once the appliance has heated up to this range
may cause the appliance to over-fire and to exceed the
ideal temperature range. Over-firing can cause permanent
damage to the appliance and invalidates your warranty.
