2.0 Operation
2.1 Before you start firing
For Use with Coal Only. Do Not Overfire, If Heater or Chimney Connector
Glows You Are Overfiring. Inspect and Clean Chimney Frequently. Under Certain
Conditions of use creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Because of risk of smoke and
flame spillage, operate only with door fully closed.
Caution:
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns.
Do not use chemicals or fluids to start the fire.
Do not burn garbage or flammable fluids.
Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter or fluid or
similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids away from
the heater while it is in use.
Starting the first fire
The initial fire should be small, so that the stove paint can cure and the main plates of the stove
can settle into position. Some fumes will be given off by the paint. Ventilate the room during
this phase.
The setting of the valve, lighting techniques and loading intervals will depend on chimney draft,
the fuel used, the heat required and so on. Some basic techniques are outlined below.
In principle
Your stove has two air supplies:
Primary air is controlled by the lower air control of the door. Secondary air is controlled by the
upper air control of the door. The air eventually washes at high speed down the back face of
the door glass. This super-heated air helps with the combustion of volatile gases produced by
the fire.
2.2 Lighting and loading intervals
When first lighting the stove, a large volume of air is needed. When the stove is cold, you should
leave the door open an inch or two for the first few minutes and open the primary and secondary
air supply completely. While the door is open, do not leave the stove unattended.
Heating with anthracite
Insert the coal insert (right and left part). The coal insert protects the bottom plate from
superheating. Furthermore the coal insert is guiding the fuel towards the grate.
Open the lower and secondary air vent to the max. Establish a fire with paper and kindling wood.
When the wood has ignited start adding fuel little by little, until the whole grate is covered by
a layer of glowing coals.
It is necessary to have a certain layer of glowing coals when adding new fuel in order not to
