2. Burn new fuel at a high temperature (ie with the primary air
fully open) for a few minutes to establish a good fire before
adjusting down the Primary Air Control.
3. Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
4. When burning smokeless fuel, more primary air will increase
the heat output and burn the fuel more quickly.
5. Your burning experience with your stove will determine the
best setting for your installation.
WARNING: Do not operate this appliance with
the primary air control open for a long period of
time. This will cause over firing of your appliance
and may cause permanent damage.
WARNING: Ashes could contain hot embers
even after two days without operating the stove.
ASH DISPOSAL
Ashes should be removed from the ash pan every few days or
accumulation of ash can occur which will obstruct airflow through
the burning wood. If ashes obstruct the airflow, poor burning of the
wood is likely. Always empty the ash pan when it is cold, such as in
the morning. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non
combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
1 2 3 4
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained
9 10 11 12
in the close container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Other waste should not be placed in this container.
Your stove is a high efficiency stove and therefore requires little 1 2 3 4
maintenance. It is important to perform a visual inspection of the
ash pan every time it is emptied, in order to ensure that no parts
9 10 11 12
have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed
immediately. Inspect and clean the chimney and connector pipe
periodically for creosote build-up or obstructions.
WOOD UTILISATION
Your heating unit is designed to burn wood or Defra exempt
smokeless fuel. Waste and other flammable materials should not
be burned in your stove. Any type of wood may be used in your
stove, but specific varieties have better energy yields than others.
SAFETY NOTICE
If this stove is not properly installed, a house fire may result. To reduce the risk of fire, follow the
installation instructions.
Consult the municipal building control department or fire officials about permits, restrictions and
installations requirements in the area.
Use carbon monoxide detectors in the room where the stove is installed.
Keep furniture and curtains well away from the stove.
Never use petrol,petrol-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while it is in use.
In the event of a chimney fire, push the air control full closed to deprive the fire of oxygen. Call the fire
brigade.
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
A source of fresh air into the room or space heated shall be provided
Only operate the stove with the door closed. Operating with the door open could cause over firing.

This stove was tested using dry beech or birch wood, so only use
dry-seasoned wood (preferably hardwood) with a moisture content
of less than 20%.
It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you use DRY SEASONED
WOOD or Defra exempt smokeless fuel in your multifuel stove. The
wood should have dried for 9 to 15 months, such that the moisture
content (in weight) is reduced below 20% of the weight of the log.
It is very important to keep in mind that even if the wood has been
cut for one, two or even more years, it is not necessarily dry, if it has
been stored in poor conditions. Under extreme conditions it may
rot, instead of drying. This point cannot be over-stressed; the vast
majority of the problems related to the operation of a multifuel stove
is caused by the fact that the wood used was too damp or has dried
in poor conditions. These problems can be:
- ignition problems
- creosote build-up causing chimney fires
- low energy yield
- blackened stove windows
- incomplete log combustion
Smaller pieces of wood will dry faster. All logs exceeding 152mm
in diameter should be split. The wood should not be stored directly
on the ground. Air should circulate through the wood stack. A
610mm to 1219mm air space should be left between each row of
logs, which should be placed in the sunniest location possible. The
upper layer of wood should be protected from the elements but not
the sides.
TESTING YOUR WOOD
When the stove is thoroughly warmed, place one piece of split
wood (about five inches in diameter) parallel to the door on the bed
of red embers.
Keep the air control full open by pulling on it and close the door.
If ignition of the piece is accomplished within 90 seconds from
the time it was placed in the stove, your wood is correctly dried. If
ignition takes longer, your wood is damp.
If your wood hisses and water or vapour escapes at the ends of the
piece, your wood is soaked or freshly cut. Do not use this wood in
your stove. Large amounts of creosote could be deposited in your
chimney, creating potential conditions for a chimney fire.
