Operating Instructions
Read the ‘General Guidance’ Section at the start of
these instructions before operating your stove for the
first time.
Allow sufficient clearance between the stove and
pictures, plasma screen televisions or ornaments etc.,
as these could be damaged and could potentially
create a fire hazard (For more information read the
‘Material Clearance’ section of these installation
instructions).
WARNING – This appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken. The
supplied operating tool or gloves may be used to
open the door and operate the air controls.
PLEASE NOTE
Your Building Insurance Company may require you to
inform them of this new installation and that the work
has been carried out correctly. Please check your
policy to ensure that it is still valid when this
installation is complete.
USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
We recommend that the appliance is left for 24 hours
after installation to allow the fire cement, fixing glues,
etc. to cure.
With the painted finish, we recommend that you have
two or three small fires before you operate your stove
to its maximum heat output. This is to allow the paint
to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the
paint finish.
During this curing in process you may notice an
unpleasant smell. It is non-toxic, but for your comfort
we would suggest that during this period you leave all
doors and windows open.
AEROSOLS
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove
when it is alight.
AIR CONTROL
This stove has been designed to burn far more
efficiently than a traditional stove if used correctly,
with the obvious notable feature of CLEAN GLASS.
It is essential that the stove has an adequate air
supply for combustion and ventilation.
The primary and secondary air inlets must be kept
clear from obstruction and blockage.
Primary Air
This provides a conventional air draught to the bed of
the fire.
Primary air is controlled
via the slider in the ash pit
door (Kestrel only) or in the
case of the others slider in
the door(s).
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via
the slider above the door(s);
it is this “Air wash” that keeps
a clean and uninterrupted view
of the fire. The amount of air
can be increased by moving the
slider to the right.
Tertiary Air/Data Plate
Tertiary air aids in good secondary combustion of the
fuel and reducing emissions into the chimney and
environment.
Tertiary air can be controlled by
adjusting the cover plate on the
back of the stove.
Data plate
Warning! – This Appliance will be hot when in
operation and due care should be taken.
We advise that suitable gloves are used when
operating the air control, and when opening the door.
Lighting the Stove
To light the stove, open the primary and secondary air
controls fully.
Light one or two firelighters placed centrally on the
grate, allowing the flames to become established
before placing several pieces of small dry kindling in a
criss-cross fashion above the firelighters, taking care
not to smother the fire.
Close the stove door. Once the kindling is well alight
open the door and build the fire by gradually adding
slightly larger pieces of wood, closing the door
afterwards.
