5.8 Experience establishes control settings to suit personal
preferences
5.9 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Air Damper
Control* on low settings for long periods of time. This
reduces the build up of tar and creosote in the appliance
and flue system.
5.10 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
5.11 You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels
suitable for use in open appliances.
5.12 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product
guarantee.
Do not load fuel above the log guard or front of cast
baskets and the bend at the back of the firebox.

6. BURNING TIPS
6.1 Fuel Quality (Wood)
Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.
Seasoned logs have the bark beginning to lift and peel away
and cracks radiating from the centre. They feel lighter than
fresh cut wood of a similar size and sound hollow when
struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp or
have moss and fungal growths.
Symptoms related to wet wood:
— Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well
— Smoke and small flames
— Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney
— Low heat output
— Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and
blue/grey smoke from the chimney
•Burn at high output for a short period to avoid large
build-ups of tars and creosote within the appliance and the
flue system
•Use Stovax Protector chimney cleaner to reduce this
problem
6.2 Fuel Quality (Solid Fuel)
•Use recommended solid fuels approved for use with open
appliances.
Symptoms related to unsuitable fuels include:
— Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well
