Odours when using the fi replace for the
fi rst time
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fi re burn with a high draught
until all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or
odours can be detected.
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on "Wood quality".
Important! An inadequate air supply can lead to poor
combustion, high emissions and a lower level of effi ciency.
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood
such as birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is
no more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials
as fuel in your fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.

Initial lighting
• Open the air vent and ignition vent by pulling the handles
(fi g. 33) all the way out. (Use a glove or something similar
to protect your hand in case the handles are hot.).
Fig. 34
• Place two logs at the bottom of the burn chamber and pile
the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fi re. NB: The maximum height of
the pile of the wood should be just below the horizontal
holes. The holes must not be covered.
• Close the ignition vent (Fig. 33 B) when the wood has
caught fi re properly and is burning well.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the
heat you want by adjusting the air vent (fi g. 33 A).
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, fl ickering fl ames in front of
the holes under the baffl e.
• If the air fl ow is normal you will be able to shut the door and
the fi re will take care of itself.
Adding fi rewood
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel
at a time. If the stove is fi lled too full, the heat created may
cause extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fi re in
moderation. Avoid smouldering fi res as this produces the most
pollution. The fi re is best when it is burning well and the smoke
from the chimney is almost invisible.
• Refuelling on to a low fi re bed: If there is insuffi cent
burning material in the fi rebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refi lling must be
carried out onto a suffi cient quantity of glowing embers
and ash that new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable
period. If there are too few embers in the fi re bed, add
suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
• Fuel overloading: The maximum amount of fuel specifi ed
in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause exess smoke
• Operating with door left open: Operation with the door
open can cause excess smoke. This appliance must not
be operated with the appliance door left open except as
directed in the instructions.
• Dampers left open: Operation with the air controls or
apploance dampers can excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers
or door left open exept as directed in the instructions.
