See Diagram 7
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 high output at high output for a short period each
day to avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within the
appliance and the flue system
• 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 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.
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when
the appliance is lit.
Symptoms of poor performance related to 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
— 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 appliance.
6.5 Weather conditions
The weather conditions outside the building can effect the
burning performance of the appliance. These could include:

7. ASH REMOVAL
Do not allow ash to build up in the appliance as it will
not burn properly and may cause damage.
7.1 Wood:
• Open the door
• Remove drop-in front plate, Diagram 10
10
PR7535
• Riddle the appliance using a poker or if a multi-fuel kit is
fitted move the riddling lever back and forth
•Remove ashpan and empty
Warning: Heat can remain in the ash long after use.De-Ash at least once a week.
11
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
• Leave the room
Do not re-light the appliance until the problem is solved
In the U.K:
* registered with HETAS (GB only)/INFO (Republic of
Ireland only)
** This should be done by a HETAS registered chimney
sweep, who will issue you with a certificate.
Ashpan tool
• Leave a thin layer of ash to start a new fire on
7.2 Smokeless fuels:
• De-Ash before filling with new fuel
Do not allow ash to build up on the underside of the
grate as this can cause premature failure.
• Pull the operating knob in and out rigorously using the
door handle tool
Do not use bare hands to operate the riddling system.

7.3 Use gloves, or place the ash into a Stovax Ash Caddy
(Stovax Part No. 4227)
7.4 Do not place hot ash in a bin 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 blacken the glass over night but it will clear when
operated at high output for a short period.
• Use smokeless fuel or small, thick logs depending on fuel
desired
9. OVER-FIRING
9.1 Do not over-fill with fuel or use at maximum output for
long periods or over-firing can occur. If the flue pipe, flue
collar or top plate glow red the appliance is over-firing:
• Close the air controls to reduce the output
9.2 Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the appliance.
10. CHIMNEY FIRE
10.1 If a chimney fire occurs:
• Shut all air controls immediately
• Evacuate the building
• Call the fire brigade
• Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only
genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep your appliance in
safe and efficient working order.
11. GENERAL CLEANING
11.1 Clean and inspect your appliance regularly, especially in
periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance
will help give many years of safe use.
• Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of
burns.
• Remove the ash completely, See Section 7
• Check the internal components for damage; grates, bricks
and baffles. Do not use the appliance if any parts are
broken or damaged
• Check for obvious build up of soot, any ash or debris
above the flue baffle(s). 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 Section 13
• Remove the baffles and clear the debris, See Section
3 Installation Section
• Check that the door(s) shut 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
• Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel
Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
12.1 This can be done as follows:
• Allow appliance to cool fully
Do not clean hot glass.
• Use a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner
10.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer,
confirming the appliance is safe to use*
b) The chimney system is inspected and swept by a
chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound
and free from obstruction before re-use.**
In the U.K:
* This should be done by a HETAS registered chimney
sweep, who will issue you with a certificate.
12.2 Before re-lighting the appliance:
• Dry the glass fully
12.3 Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
10
Page 11
USER INSTRUCTIONS
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, 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
13.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance
flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
13.3 Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not
possible to sweep through the chimney.
13.4 If the appliance is believed to have previously served an
open fire the chimney must be swept a second time within
a month of regular use after installation.

Your retailer can provide genuine spare parts such as replacement
glass, door sealing rope and re bricks when required. An annual
service by a competent engineer is recommended to keep your
appliance in best possible condition.
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 50% open to keep the appliance
ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.
15.3 Before re-lighting the appliance:
• Remove the baffles
• 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 – SeeSections 1, 4 and 5 for the
correct use of the air controls.
2. Burning unseasoned wood – See Section 3 to identify
when wood is ready for burning.
3. Stove operated at too low a temperature - good working
temperature is 300-500° F (120 – 250° C). A stove pipe
thermometer can identify this problem (Stovax part no
3046)
• Burn with the airwash control fully open for
approximately 20 minutes to cure this
The problem may be caused by damping your appliance
down overnight.
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 or
needs lining or has too many bends. This can also cause
blackening of your stove glass. Contact the installer or a flue
specialist for advice.
16.2 Riddling mechanism jamming:
This occurs when fine ash builds up under the riddling
mechanism preventing movement. To prevent this:
• Follow a regular cleaning routine for the inside of your
appliance
11
Page 12
USER INSTRUCTIONS
• Lift out the riddling mechanism and remove all ash
• Replace riddling mechanism when cleaning is complete
16.3 Glass cracking:
Do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips when
replacing the glass as this causes stress and the intense
temperature changes can cause the glass to crack. For
replacement glass contact your local Stovax dealer.
16.4 Appliance is producing tar:
This is identified by:
• A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is
lit and heats up
• Glass blackening
• Thick, brown and sticky tar oozes from the pipe joints
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your
appliance at too low a temperature;
• Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance in the
ideal temperature range
Tar is a major cause of chimney fires - if you experience
problems with tar build up consult a chimney sweep before
continued use of your appliance.
Ideal working temperature range is 130°C and 240°C
(270°F – 465°F). Failing to close down the primary air
control once the appliance has heated up to this range may
cause the appliance to over-fire and to exceed the ideal
temperature range. Over-firing can cause permanent
damage to the appliance and invalidates your warranty.
16.5 In the unlikely event of a problem that cannot be solved
by these tips contact your installer or dealer for help.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
3. VENTILATION
3.1 This appliance requires ventilation to supply combustion air.
Any room containing the appliance must have a permanent
air vent opening with a total free area of at least 550mm
per kW of appliance rated output above 5kW.
3.2 Increase air supply provisions where a room contains
multiple appliances.
3.3 If vents open into adjoining rooms or spaces there must be
an air vent of at least the same size direct to the outside.
3.4 Permanent air vents should be non-adjustable and
positioned where they are unlikely to become blocked.
3.5 Site the vents where cold draught is unlikely to cause
discomfort. This can be avoided by placing vents near
ceilings or close to the appliance, see Diagram opposite.
3.6 If the appliance has a nominal input not exceeding 5.0 kW
it therefore does not normally require any additional
permanent ventilation. If, however, spillage is detected
when commissioning the fire, there may be insufficient
natural ventilation and additional ventilation may be
required.
