Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent air supply
vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not
under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

Lighting of fire
A lot of air is needed when first lighting the stove. When starting with a totally cold stove, it may be
helpful to leave the door ajar (2-3cm) during the first few minutes; the primary air intake should be
fully open. Under poor draft conditions, adding secondary air will help the lighting process.
Place some firelighters or paper and dry kindling wood on the grate and cover with a small amount of
fuel; ignite the firelighters or paper. Allow fire to establish for a few minutes and then close the door,
continue to burn the stove with both primary and secondary air controls open until the fuel is well
alight. Load the stove with more fuel and adjust air controls to the required level of heat output.
Before relighting the fire clean the fire bed of ash and clinker and empty the ashpan.
