OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.9 Do not re-fuel the stove above the level of the log guards.
4.10 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove.
4.11 It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and
burn with the Airwash controls on low settings for long
periods of time. This will reduce the effectiveness of the
glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a
large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue
system.
4.12 We would recommend that the stove be 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 creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
Do not burn painted, impregnated wood, pallet wood or
manufactured board products.
5. BURNING SOLID FUEL
(WITH MULTIFUEL KIT FITTED)
5.1 Open the Airwash controsl to approximately 50% and
open the Primary air control fully.
5.2 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.
5.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass it is
advisable to leave one door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
5.4 As the fire becomes established add pieces of solid fuel and
fully close the door. Do not initially add too much fuel as
this may smother the fire. Do not leave the stove with the
door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and
cause permanent damage .
5.5 As the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash
controls to approximately 25% and control the burn rate
using the Primary air control only.
5.6 To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the
combustion using the Primary air control only.
5.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first de-ash the
firebed.
5.8 Open the Primary air control fully for a few minutes, to
establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel. Allow the
new fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes before
adjusting the burn rate with the Primary air control to the
desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to maintain
clean and efficient burning.
5.9 Do not re-fuel the stove above the level of the log guards.
5.10 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove. It is not recommended to load large
amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary Air Control on
low settings for long periods of time as this will reduce the
effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also,
this will cause a large build-up of tars and creosotes on the
appliance and flue system.
5.11 We would recommend that the stove be 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 creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate any product
guarantee.
6. ASH REMOVAL
1 2
PR7562 PR7563
6.1 The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will have to
be removed after a period of use. This time will depend on
the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the stove it is
advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even
go out completely. If a multifuel kit is fitted the ashpans can
be removed from the stove using the tool provided (see
diag. 2), after opening the door and removing drop-in front
plate (see diag. 1).
6.2 As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use,
care must be taken when removing and carrying the full
ashpan. We suggest that the ashpan be carried using gloved
hands, or the ash is placed directly into an Ash Caddy (Part
No. 4227).
6.3 When burning wood the amount of ash will be smaller and
may only need removal once every week. To do this, allow
the fire to burn out and cool. Then after removing the log
retainer, scoop out the ash with a suitable shovel. It is best
to leave a layer of ash in the stove to form a bed for the
new fire.
6.4 Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other
combustible material.
