HOW TO LIGHT YOUR WOODBURNING STOVE
Note: If the chimney is externally fitted or the stove has been installed
on a larger diameter clay chimney liner then on cold days it maybe
necessary to warm the flue using firelighters prior to lighting with wood.
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 logs (¼ split) on
top. Kindling stacked as in diagram allows combustion air flow freely and
will aid ignition.
2.
Fully slide open (pull out ) the Universal air control (UAC) air slider below
the stove door. Slide out fully to the left position. The stove now has a
mix of primary air secondary air for start up.
Light the firelighters and push door to closed position, latch in 1st position
so the door is open 2 mm. (see picture) This provides additional combustion
air for start up and reduces condensation on the door glass.
4. Once the flames from the logs are fully established , this can take up to
10 min's . The door can now be closed. Slide the UAC control in the middle
position (if the slider is in the middle the air controller it is providing equal
primary and secondary air).If the stove flames begin to falter and generate
smoke in chamber unlatch the door again until the fire is fully established.
6. Once the fire bed is established slide UAC control to the secondary
position and push in slider by 50%, 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. Check load
weights for your model on the table on
page 5.
use the glove when operating air
controls and door.
The stove will get very hot during use and due care must therefore be exercised.
Please use the glove when operating air controls , door and ash pan.
WOOD FUEL
Good quality wood is the most important factor in your stove working efficiently and cleanly. Always use dry split hardwood
firewood (moisture content of 20% or less). 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.
Do not burn liquid fuels, drift wood, finished, sawn wood, pallet wood, chipboard/plywood, varnished wood or plastic
coated wood, wood treated with preservatives, or house hold waste.
