OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. USING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
2.1 When new, it is best to burn the fire at a low output for
the first few days of use. This will allow the construction to
settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.
2.2
Avoid touching the paint during the first period of use.
2.3 During this time the stove may give off some unpleasant
odours, and we recommend that you keep the room well
ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up of fumes.
3. BURNING WOOD
(Wood and multi-fuel stoves)
3.1 Open the
control, (multifuel versions only) to approximately 25% open.
3.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling
wood. Light the paper or firelighters.
3.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass
it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
3.4 As the fire becomes established add a few larger pieces
of wood and fully close the door. Do not initially add too
many logs as this may smother the fire. Do not leave the
stove with the door open as this could over-fire the stove
and cause permanent damage.
3.5 As the fire becomes established close the
control (multifuel versions only) and control the burn rate
using the Airwash control only.
3.6 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed of ash to
build-up on the grate, or the base of the stove, and control
the combustion using the Airwash control only.

effectiveness of the glass cleaning effect of the airwash and
will cause a large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove
and flue system.
3.11 We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.
This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
3.12 Do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated /
treated wood or manufactured board products.
4. BURNING SOLID FUEL
(Multi-fuel stoves only)
4.1 Open the
Primary air control fully.
4.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling
wood. Light the paper or firelighters.
4.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass
it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
4.4 As the fire becomes established add pieces of solid fuel and
fully close the door. Do not initially add too much fuel as
this may smother the fire. Do not leave the stove with the
door open as this could over-fire the stove and cause
permanent damage.
4.5 As the fire becomes established reduce the
control to approximately 25% and control the burn rate
using the Primary air control only.
4.6 To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the
combustion using the Primary air control only.
4.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to de-ash the
firebed, using the riddling grate system. This is completed as
follows:-
Airwash control to approximately 50% and
Airwash air
3.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first rake the
embers evenly over the firebed then open the Airwash
control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed
before adding new logs.
3.8 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes
before adjusting the burn rate with the Airwash control,
to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to
maintain clean and efficient burning.
3.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove.
3.10 Do not load fuel higher than the log guard at the front of
the stove and the secondary combustion air inlet holes at
the back of the firebox. It is not recommended to load large
amounts of logs and burn with the Airwash control on
low settings for long periods of time. This will reduce the

4.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove. It is not recommmended to load large
amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary Air Control on
low settings for long periods of time as this will reduce the
effectiveness off the glass cleaning effect of the airwash.
Also this will help reduce the build-up of tar and creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
4.10 We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.
This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
Burn only manufactured smokeless fuels, suitable for use
4.11
in closed appliances.
4.12 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate the product
guarantee.
5. OVER-FIRING
5.1 Do not use the appliance at maximum output for prolonged
periods of time, or over-fill the firebox with fuel, as this
could result in over-firing. If the connecting fluepipe,
appliance flue collar or top plate glow red with heat the
appliance is being over-fired and the air controls should be
closed to reduce the output.
6.2 The air controls should be set in the 50% open position to
keep the appliance ventilated, and stop the build-up of any
moisture inside.
6.3 Before re-lighting the stove remove the baffles, clear any
debris that may have accumulated, and check the flue is
clear of any blockages.
7. ASH REMOVAL (Multi-fuel stoves)
7.1 The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will have
to be removed after a period of use. This time will depend
on the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the stove it
is advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even
go out completely. The ashpan can then be removed using
gloved hands, after opening the ashdoor (Huntingdon 30,
35, 40 multifuel stoves / main firedoor Huntingdon 25/28).
7.2 As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use
care must be taken when removing and carrying the full
ashpan. We suggest that the ashpan be carried using gloved
hands, or the ash is placed directly in to a Stovax Ash
Caddy (Stovax Part No. 4227).
7.3 Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other
combustible material.
5.2 Over-firing of enamel stoves will cause permanent damage
to the finish and will appear as small cracks or flaking
enamel.
5.3 Do not load fuel higher than the log guard at the front of
the stove and the secondary combustion air inlet holes at
the back of the firebox.
5.4 If a chimney fire occurs shut all air controls immediately to
close the appliance down, and evacuate all persons from
the building before calling the fire brigade. Do not re-enter
the building until it is confirmed safe to do so.
5.5 Following a chimney fire do not use the appliance until it is
inspected, by a HETAS (GB only)/INFO (Eire only) registered
installer, to confirm that the appliance is safe to use, or
make any repairs required before re-use. Only genuine
Stovax replacement parts are to be used to keep your
appliance in safe and efficient working order.
5.6 After any chimney fire it is recommended that the chimney
system be inspected and swept by a NACS registered
(UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is
structurally sound and free from any obstructions before
re-use.
6. SEASONAL USE
6.1 If the stove is not to be used during the warmer periods of
the year it is recommended to clean and service the stove,
as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing section on
page 10.
8. ASH REMOVAL (Wood-burning stoves)
8.1 When burning wood the amount of ash will be smaller and
may only need removal once every week. To do this, allow
the fire to burn out and cool. Open the main door, then
after removing the log retainer scoop out the ash with a
suitable shovel. It is best to leave a layer of ash in the stove
to form a bed for the new fire.
8.2 Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other
combustible material.
9. RECOMMENDED FUELS
9.1 Wood: Burn only seasoned timber, with a moisture content
of less than 20% with a recommended cut length of
300mm. In most cases, this would require drying cut wood
for 12 to 18 months before use. Poor quality timber could
cause low combustion efficiency, produce large amounts of
harmful condensation, which could reduce the effectiveness
of the airwash system, and ultimately the life of the stove.
Do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated
/ treated wood, manufactured board products or pallet
wood.
The symptoms of poor performance related to poor quality
wood include: -
• Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well,
• Smoky fires with little flame,
7
Page 8
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
• Dirty glass,
• Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney,
• Low heat output,
• Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and
blue/grey smoke from the chimney.
To help avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within
the stove and the flue system, it is recommended to burn
at high output for at least 30 minutes each day. The use of
Stovax Protector chimney cleaner will also help to reduce
this problem (Stovax Part No. 7002).
9.2 Solid fuel: Burn only manufactured briquetted smokeless
fuels, listed as suitable for use with closed heating stoves.
Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate the product
guarantee.

10. BURNING PERFORMANCE
A number of factors can affect the performance of the
Huntingdon stove. Some of these are listed.
10.1
Fuel Quality (Wood)
Use only seasoned wood with a moisture content of
less than 20%. Well seasoned logs should have the bark
beginning to lift and peel away, along with deep cracks
radiating from the centre of the log. Logs should feel lighter
than fresh cut wood of a similar size and sound hollow
when struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp
to the touch, have any visible moisture oozing from them or
moss and fungal growths on them.
Symptoms of poor performance related to wet woods
include:
• Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well,
• Smoky fires with little flame,
• Dirty glass,
• Dirty firebricks,
• Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney,
• Low heat output,
• Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and
blue/grey smoke from the chimney.
To help avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within
the stove and the flue system, it is recommended to burn
at high output for at least 30 minutes each day. The use of
Stovax Protector chimney cleaner will also help to reduce
this problem.

Fuel Quality (Solid Fuel)
10.2
Use only recommended solid fuels, which are approved for
use with closed appliances. Symptoms of poor performance
related to unsuitable fuels include:
• Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well,
• Smoky fires with little flame,
• Dirty glass,
• Dirty firebricks,
• Short life span for grate, baffles and internal firebricks,
• Permanent staining of glass.
Backpuffing
10.3
This is caused by a lack of combustion air entering the
firebox causing combustion gases to build up in the firebox
and periodically ignite as small explosions, causing smoke to
puff out of the appliance air inlets and other openings. The
problem will often occur if the air controls are shut soon
after adding new fuel to a very hot fire. To stop backpuffing
occurring open the air controls to increase the combustion
air and increase the burning rate.
10.4 Flue Draught
The chimney has two main functions, which are, to safely
remove the smoke, gases and fumes from the house, and
to provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in the
Huntingdon stove to ensure that the fire is kept burning.
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when
the Huntingdon stove is lit.
8
Page 9
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught
include:
• Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught)
• Poor burning control, 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 opened (low flue
draught)
The construction, position, size and height of the chimney
are all factors that affect the performance of the flue
draught.
Other factors that can effect the flue draught include:
• Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence
• High and gusty winds
• Outside temperature
• Outside weather conditions
• Incorrect additional ventilation to building
• Blocked flue / chimney
For advice on the correction of persistent flue problems
consult a qualified solid fuel heating engineer before
continuing to use the Huntingdon stove.
10.5
Weather conditions
The weather conditions outside the building could have an
effect on the burning performance of the Huntingdon stove.
These could include:
Windy days - Smoking from the appliance. This could
be caused by turbulent airflow around chimney terminal,
possibly caused by the position of other buildings or
obstacles nearby. This problem is, also, sometimes
associated with oversize chimneys, which may even have
downdraught problems on calm days. If smoking is a
common problem on windy days make a note of the wind
strength and direction before consulting your appliance
installer, who will advise you on possible solutions to the
problem, after visiting the installation.
Damp / Rainy days – These sometimes result in problems
when lighting and maintaining the fire, due to the lower
flue temperatures and smaller difference between indoor
and outdoor temperatures reducing the flue draught. Also,
rain water running down the inside of the chimney reducing
the flue temperatures. To help with this problem care must
be taken to use good quality kindling wood, when starting
the fire, and running the stove at a higher heat setting than
normal for a period after start-up to fully heat the chimney.
It could be possible to fit a rain cowl to the chimney to
reduce this problem. Your appliance installer should advise
you on possible solutions.
If the Huntingdon stove emits smoke into the room
continuously close the air controls and allow the stove to go
out, and ventilate the room to clear the fumes.
Troubleshooting
10.6
STOVE GLASS BLACKENING:
This occurs as a result of four possible causes:
Burning unseasoned wood – See page 8 (section 10.1)
1.
for more information on how to identify when your wood
is ready for burning. Properly seasoned logs will have been
kept for a minimum of a year but are best burnt at 2 years.
The stove being burned at too low a temperature - A
2.
good working temperature is 300-500° F (120 – 250° C).
A stove pipe thermometer will help identify this problem.
(Stovax part no 3046). Burning the stove with the airwash
control fully open for a period of around 20 minutes ought
to cure this. This might be caused by damping your stove
down overnight.
Problems with your flue – in particular insufficient air
3.
pull. If your flue is not doing its job efficiently this can
cause blackening of the glass. A flue which is too short,
experiences a downdraft, needs lining or has too many
bends can promote blackening. If you suspect your flue may
be contributing to the blackening of your stove glass you
should contact the installer or a flue specialist.
RIDDLING MECHANISM JAMMING:
This occurs when fine ash builds up under the riddling bars
preventing their movement. To prevent this we recommend
that you follow a regular cleaning routine for the inside
of your stove, taking care to lift out the riddling bars and
remove all ash. Replace riddling bars when cleaning is
complete.
STOVE GLASS CRACKING:
Please ensure when replacing the glass in your stove that
you do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips as this
will cause stress in the glass and with the intense heating
and cooling of burning your stove it may well cause the
glass to crack.
STOVE IS PRODUCING TAR:
You can recognise this from the following traits:
Very strong pungent smell shortly after the stove is lit and
as the stove heats up, glass blackening and, possibly, can be
seen as a thick, brown and sticky material oozing from your
stove pipe joints.
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your
stove at too low a temperature. To resolve this only use well
seasoned wood and ensure your stove is operating in the
ideal temperature range. Tar is a major cause of chimney
fires - if you experience problems with tar build up, please
consult a chimney sweep before continued use of your
stove.
Ideal working temperature range is 130°C and 240°C
(270°F – 465°F). If you fail to close down your primary air
control once the stove has heated up to this range you may
cause your stove to overfire and the temperature to exceed
the ideal range. Overfiring can cause permanent damage to
your stove and will invalidate your warranty.
Do not re-light the appliance until the cause of the
problem is identified and rectified.

1. GENERAL CLEANING
Before any cleaning is carried out, allow stove to cool
thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
1.1 We would recommend that your Huntingdon stove be
cleaned fully on a regular basis, according to the level of
use. Attention should be given to cleaning the baffle system,
flueways and removing ash. Regular cleaning and preventive
maintenance will help give many years of safe use.
1.2 The external paintwork may be cleaned using warm soapy
water and a soft clean cloth. Wipe dry with a soft clean
cloth before re-lighting. Do not leave unit without drying, as
this may cause rust. To refresh painted finishes it is possible
to re-paint using Stovax Thermolac stove paint.
1.3 Enamel finishes may be cleaned using warm soapy water
and a soft clean cloth. Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth
before re-lighting. Do not leave unit without drying, as this
may cause rust. Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning
pads to clean enamel finishes.
2. CLEANING GLASS
2.1 While the correct use of the Airwash system, and good quality
fuel, will generally keep the glass clean when the appliance is
used you may sometimes need to clean the glass.
2.2 This can be done as follows. Allow the Huntingdon stove
to cool fully, never attempt to clean hot glass. Any deposits
can be removed using a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner.
2.3 Before re-lighting the appliance, dry the glass fully.
2.4 Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads
.
stove). See sections 5 and 6 for the instructions on how
to remove the baffles and firebricks. Care should be taken
when handling firebricks, as they can become fragile after a
period of use.
4.2 Vacuum clean any remaining ash and debris from the inside
of the stove. Stovax offer a filter/collection attachment for
your vaccuum cleaner to protect it from fire ash. Ash Clean
(Stovax Part No. 2091).
4.3 Clean the internal surfaces of the stove using a wire brush
and scraper as required. Vacuum and brush the resulting
debris from the stove.
4.4 Clean the grate parts with a wire brush, and check the parts
for any damage. Replace any damaged parts.
4.5 Check and clean the firebricks with a soft brush. Replace
any broken bricks. It is normal for some surface damage to
occur during use and the life will depend on the type of
fuels burnt and the level of use. Damaged bricks should be
replaced as soon as possible.
4.6 Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
4.7 Remove the glass from the door, see section 7, and discard
all old rope seals.
4.8 Remove the door rope seal from the outer edge of the door
and clean the old glue from the door sealing rope groove.
4.9 Clean the door glass using Stovax Stove Glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners to remove tar or
soot deposits from the glass.
4.10 Replace the glass edge seal with new and re-fit the glass into
place in the door.
3. CHIMNEY SWEEPING
3.1 We would recommend that to maintain the safe and
efficient use of the appliance the flue / chimney is inspected
and swept at least once a year, by a NACS registered (UK
only)/INFO registered (Eire only) chimney sweep, who will
issue you with a certificate.
4. ANNUAL SERVICE
At the end of the heating season it is recommended to strip,
inspect and clean the stove as detailed:
4.1 Carefully remove all of the following internal parts; baffle,
firebricks, *complete grate, and *ashpan (*If multifuel
4.11 Fit new door rope seal, gluing it in place with Stovax
Thermic Seal rope adhesive. Press the new door sealing
rope into the locating groove, placing the joint in the
middle of the lower edge of the door. When fitting new
door seals we recommend closing the stove door and
leaving for at least 12 hours before using. This allows the
adhesive to fully bond to the seal before use.
