USER INSTRUCTIONS
5.12 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels, as this invalidates the product guarantee.
Do not load fuel above the log guard and the secondary
combustion inlets at the back of the firebox
(see Diagram 6).
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 and 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 creosote within the appliance and the flue system.
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when
the appliance is lit.
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
all affect the performance of the flue draught. Other factors effecting the flue draught include:
Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence. 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 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, Baffle 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.
Buildings/Obstacles cause turbulent air around chimney.

Place the ash into a Stovax Ash Caddy (Stovax Part No.
4227) or other suitable container.
Remove ash at least once every week when burning
wood.
Do not place hot ash in a container made from plastic or
any other combustible material.
8. EXTENDED BURNING
8.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended periods of time. In order to do this:
De-ash prior to final refuelling. Set air controls to low combustion settings.
This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when
operated at a high temperature for a short period.
b) The chimney system has been inspected and swept by a
chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound and free from obstruction**.
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only
genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep your appliance
in safe, efficient working order.
11. GENERAL CLEANING

USER INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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 baffle and clear the debris (see Installation
Instructions, Section 4).
To refresh painted finishes use Stovax Riva Midnight black
metallic paint.
Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth be fore relighting. Always
dry appliance to avoid rust.
Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
Check that the door shuts properly and creates an effective
seal. Leaking door seals prevent the appliance working properly.
Do not use aerosol sprays near an operating appliance.
12. CLEANING GLASS
13.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance flue ways, if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
13.3 Ensure adequate access for cleaning where it is not possible to sweep through the chimney.
13.4 If the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire it must be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
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.
Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel.
12.1 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
This can be done as follows:
Allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass.
Use a soft cloth and suitable cleaner.
12.2 Do not use cleaning agents that have a high alkaline
content, for example Stovax Gel Cleaner, on appliances with painted glass such as the Studio, View or CL. These are abrasive cleaning agents that are designed to be used with heavily stained clear glass. Use Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) on more delicate surfaces.
Do not use acidic cleaners on printed glass.
12.3 Before re-lighting the appliance dry the glass fully.
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.
15. SEASONAL USE
15.1 Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the warmer periods of the year, 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.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 Riddling Mechanism Jamming
This occurs when ash builds up under the riddling grate
preventing movement. To rectify:
Lift out the riddling mechanism (see Installation
Instructions, Section 5) and remove all ash.
Replace riddling mechanism when cleaning is complete.
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 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.
