• Wood burns best on a bed of ash

• Rake the embers evenly over the fire bed and open the

Airwash control fully for a few minutes before re-fuelling

5.2 Burn new logs at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the Airwash control. Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.

5.3 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.

5.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash control closed for long periods of time. This reduces the glass cleaning effect and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.

5.5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.

5.6 Burning Solid fuel (with Multi-fuel kit fitted):

• Set air controls, See Diagram 9

• To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the

combustion using the Primary air control only

• Open the Primary air control fully to establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel

• Burn new fuel at high output for a few minutes before

adjusting the Primary air control to the desired setting

• Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.

5.8 Experience establishes control settings to suit personal preferences

5.9 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air Control on low settings for long periods of time. This reduces the glass cleaning effect of the air wash and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue system.

5.10 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.

5.11 You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels suitable for use in closed appliances.

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 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

include:

— Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught) — Poor burning control, overheating (high flue draught)

USER INSTRUCTIONS

— 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:

Weather Conditions Problem Effect

Windy days

Calm days

Damp / Rainy days

Buildings/Obstacles cause turbulent air around chimney.

Oversized Chimney. Smoky Appliance

Flue temperature not hot enough. Rain water inside chimney.

Smoky Appliance

Lighting and burning problems

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

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.

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.

PR7536

USER INSTRUCTIONS

•Remove ashpan and empty

Warning: Heat can remain in the ash long after use. .

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.

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.

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.

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 – See Sections 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
