10. CONTROLS

Combustion air control (C)
This controls the amount of combustion air entering the stove thereby controlling the heat output. It is situated on the top
right hand side of the door.
To open - Slide to the right for greater heat output but with greater wood consumption. To
close - Slide to the left for slightly less heat output but much less wood consumption.
Being situated at the top of the door the incoming pre-heated combustion air creates a high velocity air wash effect over
the entire inner surface of the glass panel. This helps keep the glass cleaner for longer.
Air inlet cover (E)
Opening the cover plate gives access to the fan control switch on the right hand side. Also, by leaving the flap open at an
angle of around 45º the flow of hot air through the stove and into the room will increase. The fan will also run cooler.
Note: The round glass model "E701R" does not have this flap.
Fan control switch (F)
The switch has three settings:
I ON – (Low fan speed) thermostatically controlled
O OFF – (Fan off)
II ON – (High fan speed)
When firing up the stove from cold switch the fan to II "ON" - high speed, to heat the room as quickly as possible and to
force combustion air into the stove. Once the room has reached desired temperature switch to I "ON" - thermostat
control. The fan will then connect and disconnect subject to the temperature of the fan and of the stove. If you want to
switch the fan off completely, then switch to the OFF position « 0 ».
Note: The thermostat is a means of controlling the temperature of the fan and not a room temperature control.
G. Secondary hot air control lever (optional)
This controls the quantity of hot air that blows into the room or to the secondary hot air outlets. The lever controls a
damper inside the hot air outlet (B) of the stove and can be opened or closed by inserting the door handle into it. For more
hot air into the room pull the lever towards you to open the damper. For more hot air to the secondary hot air outlets push
the lever inwards to close the damper.
Warning: If you have secondary hot air outlet grilles installed then at least one (usually the one in the largest
room) must remain permanently open. If, by accident, all the grilles are closed and the damper inside the stove is
also closed then the heat generated by the stove will short-circuit and, over a period of time, burn out the fan. A
sure sign of the fan entering into short-circuit is if its noise level suddenly rises.

11. LIGHTING

The highest output is achieved by means of "top-down" burning. To achieve this, do not fill the stove in the traditional way.
Traditional way: what is meant here is laying down paper first, then kindling and finally large logs. With this method the
load is limited when lighting the fire.
"Top-down" burning: this is done by loading the large logs first, then the smaller pieces, and the paper on top. In this
case combustion takes place from the top down and is known as "Top-down" burning.
From cold
1. Fully open combustion air control.
2. Open door.
3. Place the large logs carefully on the bottom.
4. Cover it with smaller logs, and on top of this lay firelighters or paper and finally kindling.
5. Light the fire, close the door and set the ventilator to position 1.
6. Leave the combustion air inlet fully open until the wood is burning and the ashes glow.
7. Choose a control setting.
Reloading
1. Fully open combustion air control.
2. Open door.
3. Using poker provided rake hot embers evenly around the vermiculite base.
4. Place fresh logs on top of embers.
5. Close the door and burn fiercely until flame has caught hold and embers are glowing.
6. Choose a Control Setting.
Note: Do not load wood higher than the vermiculite walls.

12. CONTROL SETTINGS

There are three basic settings to choose from:
A. Very high radiant and convection heat output - Very high wood consumption.
Fully open the combustion air control to create a fast burning flame. This setting should only be used to fire up the stove.
Once the stove is hot and the embers glowing another setting, (B) or (C) should be chosen.
