control lever to right position will open the air inlet and will allow a supply of preheated air to
enter the firebox via the ‘airwash’ system situated inside the stove and the above glass.
Secondary Air is left to the firebox using the specially designed baffle at the back of the firebox.
The secondary air is injected into the flue gases above the fire resulting in a cleaner, more
efficient combustion process. The supply of secondary air is fixed open and is not adjustable.
For extra safety, your stove has been fitted with a removable handle.
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 air
supply completely. While the door is open, do not leave the stove unattended.
The ash door should never be open while the stove is in operation.
To form a reasonable bed of ash on the floor of the stove, you should use 5-6 inches thickness
(2-4 pound) of dry kindling at the initial lighting. Always maintain a 1-1.5 inch (2-3 cm) layer of
ash on the floor of the combustion chamber at all other times.
Step-by-step procedure
1. A layer of embers will form rapidly if the stove
is lit with 2 - 4 fire lighters or 7 - 10 rolled up
sheets of newspaper, underneath roughly 1-2
kg of dry kindling.
2. Fully open the secondary air supply that is
controlled by lever beneath the ash lip.
3. Light the fire.
