LIGHTING THE STOVE - SOLID FUELS
Note: on cold days it maybe necessary to warm the flue using two firelighters.
1. Place Firelighters and a few smaller pieces of dry wood (kindling) among a small quantity of fuel in the combustion
chamber.
2. Fully slide open (pull out fully) the Universal air control (UAC) air slider below the stove door. Slide fully to the left
position. The stove now has total primary air for start up. (It maybe necessary to pull open ash pan 2 mm in some
conditions.). Light firelighters and securely close door.
3. With the fire established, open the door. And fill chamber with fuel, (see weight table on page 3) do not overload. (do
not cover tertiary air ports). Reloading is approximately every hour.
4. Close fire door, set UAC control to mainly primary and 80% open.
5. Adjust as necessary.
Re-fueling solid fuel
To re-fuel your stove.
Before refuelling, open UAC control to primary and fully open.
Open door gently and de -ash your stove with use of poker. (not provided)
Add fuel to below tertiary air bar (see weight table on page 3) and close the door.
Leave the air controls open whilst fuel is established.
Once established set UAC control to mainly primary and 80% open.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air controls and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire brigade.
If your stove is overheating close all air sliders and door , leave until the stove has returned to normal temperature.
The stove is only suitable for intermittent use only: do not run overnight or for long periods unattended.
Experience will determine the settings that produce best results. Use a flue thermostat to check the stove is not overheating.
Flue thermostats should be placed directly above collar of the stove on a non insulated section of pipe. (efficient operating
temperature range is between 100c and 200c) The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised.
Please use the glove and operating tool supplied when operating air controls and door.
