OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove.
4.10 Do not load fuel higher than the log guard. It is not
recommended to load large amounts of logs and burn with
the Airwash control on low settings for long periods of
time. This will reduce the effectiveness of the glass cleaning
effect of the airwash and will cause a large build-up of tars
and creosotes in the stove and flue system.
4.11 We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.
This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
4.12 Do not burn construction timber, painted, impregnated /
treated wood or manufactured board products.
* The optional Thermostatic Primary air control will adjust
the air flow to the fire to maintain a constant temperature.
5. BURNING SOLID FUEL
(Multi-fuel stoves only)
5.1 Open the Airwash control to approximately 50% and
Primary/Thermostat* air control fully.
5.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling
wood. Light the paper or firelighters.
5.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass
it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
5.4 As the fire becomes established add pieces of solid fuel and
fully close the door. Do not initially add too much fuel as
this may smother the fire. Do not leave the stove with the
door open as this could over-fire the stove and cause
permanent damage.
5.5 As the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air
control to approximately 25% and control the burn rate
using the Primary/Thermostat* air control only.
5.6 To burn solid fuel efficiently it is best to control the
combustion using the Primary/Thermostat* air control
only.
5.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to de-ash the
firebed, using the riddling grate system. This is completed as
follows:-
Fixed Grate
Use a suitable poker.
Riddling Grate
Move the Riddling Lever (Top right at the back) from side to
side, using the removable tool provided.
5.8 Open the Primary/Thermostat* air control fully for a few
minutes, to establish a glowing bed before adding new
fuel. Allow the new fuel to burn at high output for a few
minutes before adjusting the burn rate with the Primary/
Thermostat* air control to the desired setting. It is best
to refuel little and often to maintain clean and efficient
burning.
5.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove. It is not recommmended to load large
amounts of fuel and burn with the Primary/Thermostat*
Air Control on low settings for long periods of time as this
will reduce the effectiveness off the glass cleaning effect of
the airwash. Also this will help reduce the build-up of tar
and creosotes within the stove and flue system.
5.10 We would recommend that the stove be burnt at high
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.
This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes
within the stove and flue system.
5.11 Burn only anthracite or manufactured smokeless fuels,
suitable for use in closed appliances.
5.12 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate the product
guarantee.
* The optional Thermostatic Primary air control will adjust
the air flow to the fire to maintain a constant temperature.
6. OVER-FIRING
6.1 Do not use the appliance at maximum output for prolonged
periods of time, or over-fill the firebox with fuel, as this
could result in over-firing. If the connecting fluepipe,
appliance flue collar or top plate glow red with heat the
appliance is being over-fired and the air controls should be
closed to reduce the output.
6.2 Do not load fuel higher than the log guard at the front of
the stove.
6.3 If a chimney fire occurs shut all air controls immediately to
close the appliance down, and evacuate all persons from
the building before calling the fire brigade. Do not re-enter
the building until it is confirmed safe to do so.
6.4 Following a chimney fire do not use the appliance until
it is inspected, by a HETAS (GB only)/INFO (Eire only)
registered installer, to confirm that the appliance is safe
to use, or make any repairs required before re-use. Only
genuine Stovax replacement parts are to be used to keep
your appliance in safe and efficient working order.
6.5 After any chimney fire it is recommended that the chimney
system be inspected and swept by a NACS registered
(UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is
structurally sound and free from any obstructions before
re-use.
