WESTFIRE · WF26 WF27 WF28
UNIQ 26,27,& 28
Westfire Insulated chambers
The Westfire UNIQ 26, 27, 28 wood burning stove is lined with heat deflection panels and baffles, these panels
are designed to ensure the maximum efficiency and are an integral part of the clean burn process of the stove.
These baffles should not be removed apart from for cleaning the stove. Any defective panels should be replaced.
Connection to chimney
Westfire UNIQ 26, 27, 28 wood stove has both rear and top flue connector that allows connection to either a
masonry chimney or a prefabricated factory made insulated metal chimney in accordance with the instructions for
"Connection to chimney" given in the instruction booklet.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions, page 13. 'Vermiculite fire brick installation se-
quence' before handover. Operation of primary and secondary air controls must be fully explained.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, when
a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and
emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the stove are left
with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance with the fuels likely to be
used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be warned to
use a fireguard to BS 6539 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
Operating your stove – UNIQ 26,27, 28
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 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 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) and the air slider on ash pan (Primary air) it maybe necessary pull
the ash pan drawer open 1cm as well)
3. Light the firelighters close the door.
4. Once the fire has caught, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 20cm with a combined weight of approx
1.3kg and close the door.
5. After approximately 1 minutes when the fire is burning brightly shut the air control on the ash pan.
6. After approximately another 3 minutes close the secondary air slider by 55%, 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 every 50 min.
WF 26, WF 27 and WF 28 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 slider fully, also open primary air slider fully (on
ash pan) and leave for 5 minutes. Open door gently, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 20cm with a com-
bined weight of approx 1.3kg and close the door. Leave the air sliders open for 10 minutes to allow the fire to reach
a good temperature. Then close primary air slider (on ash pan) and slide secondary air value to 45% 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'.
Basic Positions of air sliders during Operation
You will need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the secondary air intake correctly,
as factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and the external conditions
play a large role in your stove performance. It is easy to see whether the stove is functioning correctly; however
incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the inside of your stove and glass.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by crum-
pling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions are good if
the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.
Tertiary air ports: six ports at the rear of the combus-
tion chamber provide fresh preheated air to improve
secondary combustion of gases
Door handle, pull out right away from fire.
Wear protective glove when fire is lit.
Ash pan: when lighting open primary air slider (behind
handle on ash pan) and pull open the ash pan by 1cm.
Secondary air: the air slider is placed below the ash
pan. Pull out for more air and push in to reduce air.
Once warm your stove will be controlled only from
this valve.
