2. USING APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST
TIME
Therstfewtimestheapplianceislit,itwillgiveoff
some odorous fumes. This is caused by the paint
curing.
Do not touch the paint work while it is curing
otherwise it can leave a permanent mark on the
appliance.
Once the paint has cured it will not re-occur.
Keep the room well ventilated until these fumes
have cleared.
3. RECOMMENDED FUELS
Burn only seasoned hardwood timber with a
moisture content of less than 20%. Newly cut
wood should be allowed to dry/season for 12 to
18 months before use.
Wood should be stored in an environment
protected from the weather to minimise any
potential moisture content.
For best results, wood should not exceed 270mm
in length and 150mm in diameter. Any larger, and
the appliance will not operate at its optimum. It is
better to burn several smaller pieces of wood than
one large single piece.
Poor quality timber:
●Causeslowcombustionefciency
●Produces poor emissions (smoky)
●Results in additional buildup of creosote

Do not burn painted, impregnated/treated wood,
manufactured board products or pallet wood.

3. Open the air control located on the top left
corner of the appliance by sliding to the

5. RUNNING THE APPLIANCE
5.1. MAXIMUM HEAT OUTPUT
Afterestablishingthereandloadingitwithlarger
pieces of wood, leave it running with the air slide
fully open (slide all the way to the left).
This setting will generate maximum heat output.
Running the appliance with the door open will not
produce maximum heating in the room, as it will
draw a lot of already warmed air out of the room.
