4. After the kindling has caught light, you should almost close the re
door leaving it ajar by about 20mm. This will aid ue draw during

airwash system to control the burn rate and maintain clear glass, typically

5.2 Burning solid fuels
Solid fuel burns best with its air supply for combustion coming from
underneath the fuel. To achieve this the burn will be controlled by the
primary air control (see section 4 on page 5). This allows you to control
the ow of air underneath the grate. Riddling the stove occasionally will
also help to ensure that burnt fuel does not prevent the supply of air from
reaching the re.
Please do not attempt to burn solid fuels in a dedicated
wood burning stove. To burn solid fuel, your stove must
have a cast iron grate to withstand the higher temperatures
involved. To do so could damage your stove and will void
your warranty.
1. To begin, set your stove riddling grate to its solid fuel setting as
follows:
On stoves with a riddling lever
at the front of the stove body,
push the control inwards.
On stoves with a riddling lever
to the side of the stove, lever
the control downwards.
