B. High radiant and convection heat output – Low wood consumption with minimum pollution and maximum
efficiency.
Gradually close combustion air control to create a slow, gentle flame. In this setting a stove full of wood should burn
overnight whilst maintaining high convection heat output.
D. Medium radiant and convection heat output – Very low wood consumption.
Fully close the combustion air control to almost extinguish the flame. The stove will burn overnight but the glass will
probably get dirty because the stove is not operating efficiently.
Whichever setting you choose depends on how much heat output you want and how long you want the wood to last.
Remember, the more open the combustion air control the greater the radiant heat output but with no improvement in
convection heat output and much higher wood consumption.
Note: For maximum heat and efficiency choose setting "B".
13. CLEANING
Cleaning is best performed when the stove is cool.
Glass
The specially designed forced hot air wash system and vermiculite insulation helps keep the glass cleaner for longer.
However, if your glass becomes dirty.
1. Open the door.
2. Apply spray or gel type glass cleaner onto a clean cloth or kitchen paper. Apply to the inside surface of the glass (Be
careful as most glass cleaners are extremely caustic and can damage the painted surface).
3. Leave to soak.
4. Wipe off tar deposits using a slightly damp cloth. Polish with a dry cloth or paper.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS
Ash cleaning
The stove has a fixed ashtray. Clean daily with the metal scoop provided. The scoop is hinged. With the handle in a
horizontal position, and locked, the scoop acts as a shovel. With the handle unlocked, and hinged upwards, the scoop
acts as a bucket.
1. Open the door.
2. Rake hot embers to one side of the firebox so that they can be used to re-start
the fire.
3. Rake spent ash to other side of the firebox and to the rear of the stove.
4. With the scoop in the horizontal position, and locked, enter into the stove in a
forwards to backwards direction and shovel up excess ash.
5. Unlock and hinge the handle of the scoop upwards and remove from the stove.
Take to the ash deposit.
6. Re-rake hot embers evenly over the vermiculite base
7. Place fresh wood on embers.
Note: Leave 1-2cms of ash on the vermiculite base. The ash insulates the hot embers and protects the vermiculite.
Place firelighters on top of the ash and not directly on top of the vermiculite.
Paint
Wipe off ash deposits on the paint by using a soft haired brush, cotton cloth, or the suction brush attachment of a vacuum
cleaner. Do not wash the stove.
Cold air inlet
Periodically open the air inlet cover plate and wipe away ash deposits that may have accumulated underneath the stove
with a dry cloth. Take care not to touch any electrical connections.
14. MAINTENANCE
Paintwork
Repaint the stove using only heat resistant paint. Only repaint the stove when it is completely cold. Before spraying be
sure to cover all parts of the stove that do not need to be sprayed (window and fireplace for example), and to de-grease
any parts to be re-sprayed. Follow carefully the instructions written on the spray can.
Chimney cleaning
It is important to have your chimney cleaned once a year. To do this the smoke damper must be removed from the
appliance. To remove the smoke damper, follow the instructions below with care.
1. Open door and remove the smoke deflector (D). To do this, place your hand on the smoke deflector clamp (C) and
rotate the back of the clamp upwards. The clamp will now come free from the deflector and you can move it towards
you and out from the stove. See photos 1 to 5.
Note: The clamp (C) and deflector (D) both have a front and back, (A) and (B). You will need to bear this in mind when re-
assembling the smoke damper.
2. You can now remove the smoke deflector (D) by raising the left hand side and lowering the right hand side, so that
the right hand side can be turned to the front and the plate removed. See photos 6 to 9.
3. The smoke damper (E) is removed by sliding it backwards and letting it drop down. See photo 10.
