SMOKE CONTROL ZONES
Burning your stove in a smoke control zone.
The Westfire 15 and 16 are registered to burn in a smoke controlled area. You must purchase a smoke control version
which is altered slightly to comply with regulations. This stove can not be altered, if it is it will not comply with regulations.
Basic Positions of dampers during Operation
You will need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the secondary air intake correctly,
as factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and the external conditions
play a large role in your stove performance. It is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; however
incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the inside of your stove and glass.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by crum-
pling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are good if
the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.

Door operation
When opening the door of your Westfire stove always wear the glove that is provided to protect your hand from
possible heat. The handle twists right away from the fire. When shutting the door push the door closed and twist
left until the handle firmly closes.
WOOD FUEL
IMPORTANT: Never use toxic wood such as chipboard, impregnated or painted wood.
Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry
firewood. The dryness of the firewood plays an important role since the use of wet wood results in poor fuel
economy and may cause a tarry sooty film on the internals of the stove.
Newly cut wood contains 60-70% water, making it totally unsuitable for use as firewood.
Newly cut wood should be stacked and air dried under cover for two years before being used as firewood.
SOLID SMOKELESS FUELS – Westfire stoves are only CE/EN/HETAS tested and approved for wood. It is possible,
however, to use other types of fuel with due care. When using coal/smokeless fuel you must use a coal insert and
a mix of 80% wood, 20% coal. Please note coal reduces the lifetime of the stove and the chimney considerably.
