although longer burn times can be achieved by fully loading the firebox, getting the fuel burning
well and then shutting the air control right down (see below). The fire will then need reviving by
first opening the air controls and then using small pieces of wood and plenty of air to get flames
issuing from the wood again. Never load fuel above the rear firebox tertiary air profiling or allow
it to spill onto the glass.
7.11 Shutting Down
The stove will normally shut down by itself as the fuel is consumed. In order to shut down the
stove for other reasons, close the single air control to the central position. If the control is left in
this position, the fire will eventually go out. If you want to revive the fire it is recommended that
the primary air controls are open first, and then open the secondary air controls.
Warning! - The stove will remain very hot for a considerable time after the fire has died down
or been extinguished.
7.12 Shut down for prolonged periods
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a
thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through
the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls open. It is
important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are
swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
7.13 User Maintenance
See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further
information.
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible
that the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously
firmly adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the
chimney be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation. See chimney
cleaning section in section Warnings and Important Information. Inspect the inside of the
stove and the flue ways and ensure they are 100% clear after a period of disuse (e.g summer).
Check all rope seals for completeness, wear and that there are no gaps between the ends etc.
Any gaps must be eliminated and ropes must be re-adhered to their grooves with suitable rope
seal cement where required. Worn or missing rope seals will affect appliance operation, control
and emissions output and can lead to overheating damage.
Check all air intakes and outlets within the stove for cleanliness and remove any ash or debris
build up by suitable means.
Check outside air ventilators and stove air inlets are clean and unobstructed.
Only use manufacturers recommended replacement parts on the appliance.
