Operating your stove – WF UNIQ21
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
flammable 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)
3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed position but do not close latch, door should remain open
approximately 1cm.
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 10-15 minutes when the fire is burning brightly and hot closed the door fully. If the fire
falters and dies down unlatch door for another 5-10 mins.
6. After approximately another 10 minutes close the secondary air slider by 10%, 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 UNIQ21, stoves 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 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 secondary air valve to 90% open.
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.
