Air Inlets at the back of the firebox (see Diagram 8).
6. BURNING TIPS
6.1 Fuel Quality (Wood)
Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.
Seasoned logs have the bark beginning to lift and peel away
and cracks radiating from the centre. They feel lighter than
fresh cut wood of a similar size and sound hollow when
struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp or
have moss or fungal growths.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
—Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well.
—Smoke and small flames.
—Dirty glass and/or Firebricks.
—Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney.
—Low heat output.
—Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and blue/
grey smoke from the chimney.
Burn at a high temperature for a short period each day
to avoid large build-ups of tars and creosotes within the
appliance and the flue system.
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught
include:
—Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught).
—Poor burning control and/or overheating (high flue
draught).
—Wind noise from air controls (high flue draught).
—Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well
(low flue draught).
—Low heat output (low flue draught).
—Smoke entering room when doors are opened (low flue
draught).
The construction, position, size and height of the chimney
all affect the performance of the flue draught.
Other factors effecting the flue draught include:
—Nearby trees or buildings causing turbulence.
—Outside temperature.
—Outside weather conditions.
—Incorrect additional ventilation to building.
—Blocked flue or chimney.
For advice on the correction of persistent flue problems
consult a qualified heating engineer before continuing to
use the appliance.
6.5 Weather conditions
The weather conditions outside the building can effect the
burning performance of the appliance. These could include:
Use Stovax Protector chimney cleaner to reduce this
problem.
6.2 Fuel Quality (Solid Fuel)
Use recommended solid fuels approved for use with closed
appliances.
Symptoms related to unsuitable fuels include:
—Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well.
—Smoke and small flames.
—Dirty glass and/or fire bricks.
—Short life span for grate, baffles and internal firebricks.
—Permanent staining of glass.
6.3 Air inlets puffing smoke
Combustion gases can build up in the firebox and ignite
as small explosions, causing smoke to puff out of the air
inlets and other openings. This occurs if the air controls
are shut soon after adding new fuel to a very hot fire. Stop
by opening the air controls to increase combustion air and
burning rate.
6.4 Flue Draught
The chimney has two main functions:
1) To safely remove the smoke, gases and fumes from the
house.
2) To provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in the
appliance ensuring the fire keeps burning.
Weather Conditions Problem Effect
Windy days
Calm days
Damp / Rainy days
To reduce these problems:
—Use good quality kindling wood to start the fire.
—Burn initially at a high temperature for a short period.
—Fit a rain cowl to the chimney.
Your installer should advise you on possible solutions.
If the appliance emits smoke into the room continuously:
—Close the air controls and allow the appliance to go out.
—Ventilate the room to clear the fumes.
Do not re-light the appliance until the problem is solved.

will help give many years of safe use.
Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
Clean regularly, according to level of use.
Remove the ash completely (see User Instructions,
Section 7).
Check the internal components for damage (grates, bricks,
baffles and log guard). Do not use the appliance if any
parts are broken or damaged. Replace damaged parts with
genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep the appliance in
safe, efficient working order.
Check for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris above the
flue baffle(s) (these can be found in the upper part of the
firebox). Use a torch if necessary.
This can be done as follows:
—Allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass.
—Use a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner.
12.2 Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.
12.3 Do not use abrasive cleaners as it will scratch the surface
and don’t use highly acidic cleaners on glass that is
printed as it may damage the printing.
13. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
13.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance, the
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a
year by a qualified chimney sweep**.
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year,
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent
sweeping is recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.
If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue
baffle(s) either:
—Arrange for the chimney to be swept (see User
Instructions, Section 13).
—Remove the baffles and clear the debris (see Installation
Instructions, Section 4).
Clean matt black appliances using Stovax Colloidal black or

USER INSTRUCTIONS
14. CARE OF STOVE
Stovax has a range of cleaning and maintenance products
and accessories to keep your appliance in good working
order. Your Stovax retailer can advise you on suitable items
for your stove and provide genuine spare parts such as
replacement glass, door sealing rope and rebricks. View
the extensive range at www.stovax.com by clicking on
Accessories. In addition, an annual service by a competent
engineer is recommended to keep your stove in the best
possible condition.
Primary Air Control once the appliance has heated up to
this range may cause the appliance to exceed the ideal
temperature range and to over-fire. Over-firing can cause
permanent damage to the appliance and invalidates your
warranty. Burn with the Airwash Control fully open for
approximately 20 minutes to cure this.
The problem may be caused by damping down the
appliance during periods of extended burning.
4. Problems with the flue, in particular insufficient air pull.
If the flue is not working efficiently the glass can blacken.
A flue which has too much downdraft may be too short,
needs lining, or has too many bends. This can also cause
blackening of the stove glass. Contact the installer or a flue
specialist for advice.
16.2 Glass cracking
Do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips when
replacing the glass. This causes stress and the intense
temperature changes can cause the glass to crack. For
replacement glass contact your local Stovax retailer.
16.3 Appliance is producing tar
15. SEASONAL USE
15.1 Clean and service the appliance if not used during warmer
months, as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing
section.
15.2 Set the air controls to 50% to keep the appliance ventilated
and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.
15.3 Before re-lighting the appliance:
—Remove the baffle(s).
—Clear any debris that may have accumulated.
—Check the flue is clear of any blockages.
16. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
16.1 Stove glass blackening
This has four possible causes:
1. Incorrect use of Airwash
See User Instructions, Sections 1, 4 and 5 for the correct use
of the air controls.
2. Burning unseasoned wood
See User Instructions, Section 3 to identify when wood is
ready for burning.
3. Stove operated at too low a temperature
A stove pipe thermometer can identify this problem (Stovax
part no 3046). The ideal working temperature range is
130°C - 250°C (270°F - 480°F). Failing to close down the
This can be identified by:
—A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is
lit and heats up.
—Glass blackening.
—Thick, brown, sticky tar oozing from the pipe joints.
This is caused by burning damp wood and running the
appliance at too low a temperature.
Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance within
the ideal temperature range.
Tar is a major cause of chimney fires. If the appliance
experiences problems with tar build up consult a chimney
sweep before continued use of the appliance.
16.5 Hinge Pin Riding Up
This occurs when the hinge block has moved out of
alignment. To correct this, adjust the hinge blocks back to
the vertical position (see Installation Instructions, Section 6).
16.6 In the unlikely event of a problem that cannot be solved
by these tips contact your installer or retailer for help.
17. SMOKE CONTROL KIT
17.1 This appliance can be modified to burn wood in a smoke
control zone. For more details on the Smoke Control Kit for
this appliance contact your retailer.
NOTE: These appliances have been independently tested
to PD6434 and approved by DEFRA as an exempted
appliance, allowing it to burn wood in Smoke Control areas
when fitted with a Smoke Control Kit.
