Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions, page 15 & 16. ' Vermiculite fire brick installation
sequence' before handover. Operation of primary and secondary air controls must be fully explained.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, when
a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and
emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left
with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be
used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to
use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
Operating your stove – UNIQ 15,16
Initial lighting
The heat-resistant paint on your stove will cure and harden the first time you light your appliance. The curing
process produces 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 periodi-
cally (every 30mins) 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 stove door must
be kept closed except when lighting the stove, adding firewood or removing ash in order to prevent flue gas from
escaping.
Lighting your appliance
Quality Firelighters should be used when lighting the stove. (Never use mentholated spirit, petrol or other flam-
mable liquids). Lighting your stove with fire lighters will be more reliable and easier than paper.
To light your stove
1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in the stove on top of the non toxic firelighters.
2. Fully pull open the air slider (secondary air) and the air slider on ash pan (Primary air) it maybe necessary pull
the ash pan drawer open 1cm as well)
3. Light the firelighters close the door.
4. Once the fire has caught, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 20 cm with a combined weight of approx
1.4 kg and close the door.
5. After approximately 10 minutes when the fire is burning brightly shut the air control on the ash pan.
6. After approximately another 10 minutes close the secondary air slider by 50% (25% on smoke control mod-
els), for the stove to burn cleanly plenty of secondary air is needed, do not be tempted to shut the fire down
too early as this may cause smoke. At nominal heat output, expect to refuel your stove approximately once
an hour.
WF 15 and WF 16 are all equipped with a control valve for secondary air designed to ensure a plentiful supply of
oxygen during firing. When lit, the stove will get very hot and due care must therefore be exercised. Please use a
glove when operating levers and dampers.
RE-FUELING
To re-fuel in the cleanest way.
Before refuelling open secondary air value fully, also open primary air slider fully (on ash pan) and leave for
5 minutes. Open door gently, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 20 cm with a combined weight of
approx 1.4 kg and close the door. Leave the air values open for 10 minutes to allow the fire to reach a good
temperature. Then close primary air valve (on ash pan) and slide secondary air value to 50% open (75% open
on smoke control models).
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air damper and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire department.
If your stove is over heating close all dampers and door must be closed, and left until the stove has return to
nominal temperatures'.
