convection top plate.
This collar allows connection to either a masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney.

Operating your stove – WESTFIRE UNIQ 17, 18
The first lighting of your stove
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 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.
Lighting your appliance
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.
