FUELS Wood Wood must be dry and well seasoned. Ideally it should be cut, split and stacked under cover for at least a year and preferably two years before being burnt. Hard woods, such as Ash, Beech and Oak are preferable to Soft woods such as Pine. The wood should be burnt in a bed of ash on the flat base of the stove. Burning wet unseasoned wood will result in heavy tar deposits in the chimney and reduced outputs. Peat Cut peat should be dried before burning to reduce tar deposits. Peat should

Do not light the fire before the boiler and heating system have been filled with water as this can damage the boiler. FUELS Please pay careful attention to the special points made w

It may be fully opened when rapid heating is required or to help clean any deposits from the glass. It will not be possible to keep the glass clean if this control is fully closed, particularly immediately after refuelling. RIDDLING When burning solid fuels riddling twicea day is usually sufficient. When burning wood or peat, ash should be allowed to build up and generally weekly riddling will be sufficient. The fire should be riddled with the doors shut (see Fig 2.) Place the tool onto the ridd

The following points should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be kept clean in most situations: a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean, therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well established before closing the airslides. This may also be necessary when re-fuelling the stove. b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebars as possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox. c) Never

The fire should be riddled with the doors shut (see Fig 2.) Place the tool onto the riddler rod and rotate between the ‘3 o’clock’ and ‘5 o’clock positions several times. Too much riddling can result in emptying unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be avoided. Clinker should regularly be removed from the firebed. After riddling, the grate should be put back into the solid fuel or wood position as required (the tool should be horizontal for solid fuel or vertical for wood). REFUELLIN

CHIMNEY In order for the appliance to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must not be less than 4 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney. The chimney should preferably be 175 mm (7 inches) or 200mm (8 inches) internal diameter or square with sides of 175mm or 200mm internally and must not be less than 150 mm (6 inches) internal diameter or 150 x 150mm internal s

Fume Emission Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will not emit fumes. Occasional fume from deashing and re-fueling may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist then take the following immediate actions should be taken: a) Open the doors and windows to ventilate the room. b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
