REDUCED BURNING
When wood is burnt slowly in a closed
appliance, it produces moisture and tar,
which will create condensation and deposits
in the chimney. This effect can be minimised
by burning hard for a short period, fifteen to
twenty minutes, twice a day. The easy boost
air inlet can be used to achieve this faster
burn rate. Remember to close the easy boost
inlet afterwards as this overrides the stoves
automatic thermostatic control.
Please Note: To avoid chimney problems your
appliance should not be burnt at a reduced
burn rate without a period of fast burning.
OVER FIRING & CHIMNEY FIRES
DO NOT over fire your appliance. Firing the
stove at maximum for prolonged periods may
result in over-firing. If the chimney connector
or casing glows red the appliance is being
over-fired and this may result in a chimney fire.
ASH REMOVAL
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically but an ash bed of approximately
20mm (3/4”) should be maintained. Care
must be taken not to burn hands or household
objects with falling embers.
The ash pan should be emptied when the
level of ash reaches the top of the ash pan.
On no account should the ash be allowed to
build up to touch the underside of the grate
bars, as this will greatly reduce the life span of
the grate. The ash will require less frequent
removal when burning wood than solid fuels.
WARNING: The ash can be very hot. Empty only
into a metal container. Even if the ash
and could easily start a fire or cause an injury.
Maintenance
FEDS INSPECTION (WHERE FITTED)
The Flue Exhaust Diversion (FEDS) system needs
to be checked regularly to ensure any build up
of ash and other debris is removed. The
Installation Guide contains details on how to
remove and inspect the outer feds plate. This
should be done only when the stove is unlit and
cold.
THERMOSTAT MAINTANENCE
It is possible that over time, especially if ash is not
removed regularly, the primary air inlet and its
damper flap may become restricted / blocked
by ash which may compromise the correct op-
eration of the thermostat.
The installation guide contains details on how to
maintain the operation of the damper flat and
thermostat housing.
