8. EXTENDED BURNING
8.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended
periods of time. In order to do this:
—De-ash prior to final refuelling.
—Set air controls to low combustion settings.
This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when
operated at a high temperature for a short period.
USER INSTRUCTIONS
—Use smokeless fuel or small, thick logs.
9. OVER-FIRING
9.1 Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for
long periods or over-firing can occur. If the flue pipe, flue
collar or top plate glow red the appliance is over-firing.
Close the air controls to reduce the temperature.

appliance.
