Pyroclassic Fires Operating Instructions | Updated May 2019 | V4 | 3
To help you obtain all the benefits the Pyroclassic® offers, we ask you to ensure the
following four important steps are performed:
1. Correctly complete your warranty card and return it to us either in person at our factory, or by mailing to:
Pyroclassic Fires Ltd
PO Box 14057
Hastings, 4159
New Zealand
or email to: info@pyroclassic.co.nz
2. The wood you use in the Pyroclassic® fire should be good quality, dry wood with a moisture content of 25%
or less, 12% - 18% is ideal for clean, efficient heat. Digital moisture meters are available for purchase and
recommended to test your wood fuel.
3.
Please read this operating manual thoroughly as even individuals who have significant experience with
wood fires will learn from this
.
4. Before the start of the winter season, follow this maintenance checklist on your fire:
Have the flue professionally swept using a suitable sized brush.
Ensure the door seals sufficiently all the way around.
Ensure the door spindle lines up with the hole in the front plate when the door closes and that it is
lubricated with grease.
Inspect the air tubes and load limiter assembly to ensure there are no cracks/holes that have appeared.
If so, depending on the amount of wear, consider getting replacement air tubes installed.
Remove the front panel and ensure the three primary air inlets are clear.
Make sure the turboslide is sealing flush against the front plate of the fire by looking down the side of
the decorative panel.
RE-USABLE FIRE STARTERS
The pack of two re-usable fire starters supplied with the fire should be used as follows:
Soak the firestarters in methylated spirits (meths) in a screw top jar. They soak up the meths like a sponge, turning
purple. Use the firestarters in the fire just like you would with single use firestarters.
After loading your starting wood (4 pieces around 300mm long totalling around 1.2kg) first , then kindling (14-16 pieces
totalling about 1kg) on top in a grid pattern, place the soaked firestarters on top of the kindling around the center of the
firebox. When you re-load the fire, you can retrieve the firestarters with tongs and place them somewhere safe to cool –
away from children and animals! Of course, if the firestarters are still burning leave them in the fire until they are out.
Let the firestarters cool and then, when COLD, simply place back into the jar of meths for future use.
Use suitable length tongs to place firestarters into the fire and to retrieve them.
If you forget to retrieve the firestarters don’t worry as they will still be there, but continually leaving it in the fire will
result in it eventually disappearing to nothing – like a piece of soap. By retrieving them from the fire early, they should
last for quite a long time.
New firestarters can be purchased from Pyroclassic Fires Ltd or your local dealer.
WARNING:
NEVER soak a hot firestarter in meths.
NEVER leave the meths jar near the fire.
NEVER ADD SPIRIT TO A HOT CUBE
NEVER SQUIRT SPIRIT OR ANY LIQUID FUELS DIRECTLY INTO THE FIREBOX
Please note: It is not a requirement to use the Re-usable firelighters, single use firelighters may also be used however you
may need more than two.
