The Warmington fire is designed with our exclusive
‘Caitec’ technology.
Air is drawn from an external source which is then
circulated through the firebox sending warm air back
into the room. This maximises efficiency whilst
maintaining the home at a constant pressure
equilibrium, reducing the risk of back draft.

To start and maintain a good fire, you need the following:

 Newspaper (not coloured or coated).
 Box of matches
 Packet of firelighters (optional)
 Quantity of finely split, dry soft wood kindling (such as pine).
 Seasoned dry, split firewood in range of sizes. (do not burn:

treated wood, painted wood, plywood, particleboard or MDF).

LIGHTING THE FIRE

“CAITEC” UNIQUE TO WARMINGTON’S DESIGN

Generally fire wood is cut to 300 to 350mm
lengths and split to 150 to 180mm cross sec­tion. Note the Season Cracks in the ends.

Kindling is finely split and ideal for starting the
fire.

Firelighters may be used

These are guidelines only—each Installation will operate with it’s unique aspects:

Place generous amount of crumpled newspaper in the Firebox. Place 10-15 pieces of finely split, dry kindling on top and
behind the paper, say 20cms. Putting firelighters under the newspaper can help to sustain burn time.

FOR CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR OPEN WOOD FIRE—Follow These Guidelines

Light the paper and/or firelighters from both ends and the middle. As

soon as the kindling has ‘caught’ and is burning briskly, add smallish

pieces of wood to the fire. When the fire is established, put on larger
pieces in a criss-cross pattern.

You may notice a faint smell on the first light of the fire. This is the
paint coat curing and this smell will soon disappear. (see note on
Paint).

The most productive way to control the burn rate is by the amount of
fuel that you load in the fire. Load the fire to gain the desired heat out­put but ensure that the fire is not over firing. See fuel load in these
instructions.

The Damper Adjustment Arm is always on the top left of the fire opening, as indicated.
The handle fits inside the Adjustment Arm & has 4x settings from fully open to closed.

Fully open the Damper when first lighting
the fire, by using the Damper Handle tool as
indicated .

Note: The Damper is fully open when the handle is in the out position, and closed when in the in
position. When fully closed the smoke should still be able to draw up the Chimney .
