Lighting Procedure
Step 2.
Light the kindling wood
Light the 2 fire lighter cubes and immediately push the door to a ‘cracked open’ position
Leaving the door in the ‘cracked open’ position, is a very important part of the start up process. In
this position, the door should not be fully closed. It should just be gently push closed until the door
latch just rests against the firebox, without engaging the door handle, leaving an opening between
the door and the firebox.
If the door is fully shut, the fire will go out because the fire is not up to operating temperature. This
is because the door handle opens and closes the ‘bypass damper’ which changes the operation of
the fire from updraft to downdraft. Downdraft can only be sustained when the fire is up to temper-
ature.
5 to 10 mins
Step 3.
Place ‘Intermediate load 1’ into the fire
After approximately 5 to 10 minutes (or when the kindling wood has fully ignited), place the 4 piec-
es of small wood (intermediate load 1) into the fire and return the door to the cracked open posi-
tion.
