Caring for your Fire Cleaning your Glass Wiping your glass regularly with a damp cloth when cold will keep the glass clean. If a thick build up of creosote builds up, oven cleaner works well to remove it. Cleaning the Outside of the Fire Ferva fires are finished in a high temperature paint. Only use a damp cloth (no chemicals) when cleaning the outside of the fire. If any scratches occur, you can easily touch up the fire with an aerosol can of matching paint.
Creosote Formation A small intense fire is preferable to a large smouldering one, to reduce the amount of creosote. When wood is burned slowly it produces tar and other organic vapours, which combine with expelled vapour to form creosote. These creosote vapours condense in the relatively cool flue of a slow burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue. When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
Useful Tips Get the most out of your fire Tips for lighting the fire Use finely cut, dry kindling wood. Firelighter cubes or gel work best when ensuring ignition of the kindling. Cross stack kindling over and around fire lighter like a small tower. Use ample kindling wood to ensure a good fire, you want to get the fire hot as fast as you can. Tips to help get the highest heat output: Open the air slide to increase the amount of combustion air to the combustion zone.
Operating Instructions for the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) Your TEG is designed to automatically turn on when the fire is in use and will automatically turn off once the fire has cooled down. There is no on/off switch. The fan has 2 settings. (I) Low or quiet setting (II) High setting. Adjust the fan speed to suit your needs. The high setting should be used to distribute the heat quicker and the low setting to be used once the room is up to temperature or you desire the quiet setting.
Operating Instructions for the Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) In the event of a failure of the TEG, the LED light and/or fan will not run. The TEG should be replaced by following the below instructions before the fire is used again. 1. Remove side panels by pulling the top out of the clips 2. Remove rear panel by pulling out the of the clips 3. Remove back section of the duct by undoing screws 4. Unscrew control box from the side once side panel has been removed. 5.
Trouble Shooting My fire won’t turn down The first thing to be aware of is that some new clean air fires do not shut down like old fires. Old fires used to shut all the way off and the wood would just smolder. Other reasons for this problem may be: Rear air tube has burned out and needs replacing, visually check. Door seal is not sealing properly and may need replacing.
