OPERATING YOUR STOVE – WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32
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 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 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 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.
To light your stove
1. Place a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) in the stove on top of the non toxic firelighters, place one
or two small dry split (¼ split) logs on top.
2. Fully slide open the secondary air control. Pull out fully primary air control. The stoves air supplies are now
fully open.
3. Light the firelighters and push door to closed position but do not close latch, this will allow a small gap of
1 cm for more air to be supplied to stove.
4. After approximately 10 minutes when the fire is burning brightly shut latch on the door.
5. Once fire is hot push in fully the primary air control. This will close off the primary air control to the stove. If the
stove begins to die when the primary is closed, open control again and leave open for another ten minutes.
6. After approximately another 10 minutes close the secondary air control to the specified position for the stove
(See table). For the stove to burn cleanly plenty of secondary air is needed, please 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.
The WESTFIRE WF32/UNIQ32 INSET stoves are all equipped with a control level 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 there-
fore be exercised. Please use glove supplied when using air controls, handle or ashpan.
