5. RUNNING THE APPLIANCE
5.1 Burning Wood:
ClosethePrimary air control (multi-fuel versions only) and use the Airwash tocontrol the burn rate when appliance is at operating temperature, see Diagram 8
Air Wash: Adjust
AR2097
Woodburnsbestonabedofash
Raketheembersevenlyoverthefirebedandopenthe 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.
Add a small amount of kindling and open the air controls if the firebed is low when the appliance is refuelled. This helps re-establish the fire. Do not close the air controls until the fire is burning well.
5.3 When burning wood at low output:
OpenthePrimaryAirandAirwashControlsfullyfor3 minutes after refuelling
This ensures the fire is burning well before.
FullyclosethePrimaryAirandadjusttheAirwashtothe low setting
5.4 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences.
5.5 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.
5.6 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a short period also reduces tars and creosote.
Do not load fuel above the log guard and the lower edge of baffle 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
Burnathighoutputathighoutputforashortperiodeach day to avoid large build-ups of tars and creosote within the appliance and the flue system
UseStovaxProtectorchimneycleanertoreducethis problem
Whenburningwoodatlowoutputsettingsopenbothair controls fully for 3 minutes after refuelling to ensure the fire is burning well before closing the Primary Air control fully and the airwash to the low setting
6.2 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.
6.3 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) 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)

USER INSTRUCTIONS
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 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 (Part no 3046)
Burnwiththeairwashcontrolfullyopenfor 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 bars
preventing movement. To prevent this: Followaregularcleaningroutinefortheinsideofyour
appliance Liftouttheriddlingmechanismandremoveallash Replaceriddlingmechanismwhencleaningiscomplete
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 dealer.

USER INSTRUCTIONS 16.4 Appliance is producing tar: This is identified by: Averystrongpungentsmellshortlyaftertheapplianceis
lit and heats up Glassblackening Thick,brownandstickytaroozesfromthepipejoints
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your appliance at too low a temperature;
Usewellseasonedwoodandoperatetheapplianceinthe 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 130C and 240C (270F 465F). 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.
