User Instructions WARNING Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the room. Occasional fumes from de-ashing and refuelling may occur. 3. Recommended Fuels 3.1 Eco stoves are designed to only burn cut seasoned hardwood with a moisture content of less than 20%. Ideally kiln dried beech, birch, oak or ash can be used. Normal cut wood should be seasoned for 12 to 18 months and checked for moisture content before use.
User Instructions 4. Smoke Control Setting 4.3 This appliance is supplied with a pre-fitted smoke control setting and has been independently tested to PD6434 making it exempt from the controls that generally apply in Smoke Control Areas. THE SMOKE CONTROL FACILITY IS SUPPLIED DISABLED AND MUST THEREFORE BE MODIFIED BEFORE INSTALLATION IN ORDER FOR THE APPLIANCE TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF A SMOKE CONTROL AREA AND MUST BE OPERATED CORRECTLY TO MINIMISE THE AMOUNT OF SMOKE PRODUCED.
User Instructions 4.6 If the Smoke Control kit is enabled the air control slider will be pulled out 47mm, see Diagram 11. 5.2 If the appliance has been previously used rake any ash remaining from the previous burn level in the firebox. Approximately 25mm of ash can be left for a good base for starting the new fire. Take care as hot embers can remain in the fuel bed for a long time after the stove was last used. 5.3 To create an open stack for top down lighting: 11 1.
User Instructions 5.5 Adjust the operating air controls to the maximum, or start-up, setting and close the door. 5.6 Leave the fire to establish and develop a glowing firebed (this may take 30 to 45min or more in some cases). 5.7 Once the fire is established refuel as described in Section 8. 6.2 Start Up 17 Start Up (Maximum In) Maximum Running Do not load fuel above the log guard and the secondary combustion chamber at the back of the firebox, See Diagram 15.
