OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Model: Pyroclassic® IV Wood Burner (ULEB)
Pyroclassic fires are unique and work differently from other wood burners.
Please take your time to read through these instructions to maximise the benefits of
your new Pyroclassic®Ultra Low Emission Burner
Save these instructions for future reference.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Pyroclassic® fires have been in production for more than 30 years. From experience, along with
other New Zealand manufacturers, most issues relating to obtaining maximum efficiencies come
from loading the fire with wet wood (more than 25% moisture content).
The New Zealand Home Heating Association report that as much as 95% of complaints received
are a result of poor fuel.
We strongly suggest you read the 'Firewood' section in this booklet.
