RE-FUELING
To re-fuel your stove in the cleanest way.
Only refuel your stove when flames have died down and you have glowing embers.
Before refuelling, open secondary air slider fully, also open primary air slider fully and leave for 5 minutes.
Open door gently, add two pieces of wood measuring approx 33cm with a combined weight of approx
1.5kg and close the door. Leave the air sliders open for 10 minutes to allow the fire to reach a good
temperature. Close (push in) primary air slider and slide secondary air slider to position for the stove.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close the air damper and the stove door, and call 999 or your local fire
department.
If your stove is overheating close all air sliders and the door must be closed, and left until the stove has
returned to nominal temperature.

You will need to become familiar with your stove in order to be able to regulate the secondary air intake
correctly, as factors such as the quality and height of your chimney, the quality of your fuel and the
external conditions play a large role in your stove performance. It is easy to see whether the stove is
functioning correctly; however incomplete combustion may lead to a build-up of hard, shiny soot on the
inside of your stove and glass.
To prevent sooting of the chamber and glass introduce secondary air, also check that your wood is dry.
It is important to check the draft conditions before lighting your stove. This may be done, for instance, by
crumpling a piece of newspaper, placing it in the combustion chamber and lighting it. The draft conditions
are good if the smoke is drawn away through the chimney.
