removed other than for cleaning the stove. Any defective panels should be replaced.

OPERATING YOUR STOVE – WESTFIRE WF23/UNIQ23
The first lighting of your stove
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LIGHTING YOUR APPLIANCE.
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing
process does produce a good deal of smoke and odour, it is therefore important that the first time you light your
stove the room should be well ventilated. During the process it is important to open and close the stove door
periodically (every 30 mins) during the first couple of firings therefore preventing the door seal cord around the
door from sticking and coming away from the door. Once the heat-resistant paint has hardened the smell will
disappear.
This stove is NOT designed to be used with the door open, the stove door must be kept closed except when
lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gases from escaping.
NOTE! Always use dry wood for your stove, your stove will burn better and more efficiently with better quality
dry wood. Wet wood will cause your stove to burn inefficiently.
Lighting your appliance
Westfire stoves are tested to burn wood. Do not overload stove as this can cause excessive heat and damage
the stove. ALWAYS KEEP FUEL LOAD BELOW TERTIARY PORTS AT REAR OF STOVE.
Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished wood, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished
wood or plastic coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste. DO NOT EXCEED SPECIFIED
FUEL WEIGHTS.
DO NOT BURN HOUSEHOLD WASTE, THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT AN INCINERATOR.
WESTFIRE RECOMMEND THE USE OF A FLUE THERMOSTAT TO CHECK YOUR STOVE IS NOT OVERHEATING. PLACE FLUE
THERMOSTAT DIRECTLY ABOVE COLLAR OF STOVE AND REFER TO TEMPERATURE TABLE EARLIER IN INSTRUCTIONS.
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other
flammable liquids). Lighting your stove firelighters will be more reliable and easier than using paper.

two small dry split (¼ split) on top.
2. Fully slide open the secondary air control. Pull out fully primary air control. The stoves air supplies are now fully
