INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Lighting The Stove with wood
- Ensure all air controls are in the fully open position.
- In the base of the stove, place the larger split and dry logs (amount dependent upon size of the firebox).
- Ensure a gap is left between the logs as this allows air movement to help the fire breathe when lit.
- Place approximately six to eight pieces of kindling (finely chopped wood) on top of the logs in the opposite direction to the split logs.
- Put 2 to 4 Eco fire lighters on top of the kindling in the centre.
- Finally, place 2 to 4 pieces of kindling on top of the Eco fire lighters.
- Close the door as soon as flames appear.
- A small amount of soot may appear on the glass during the lighting. This is perfectly normal and will go after a period of time.
- Extra logs should not be added until there is a bed of glowing embers.
Kindling:
- Length – 15cm to 20cm
- Diameter – 2cm to 5cm
- Approximately 8-12 finely chopped pieces
Adding Wood
- Firstly, ensure that the wood you are using has a moisture content of less than 20% (We recommend 12-15% to ensure an efficient burn).
- When refuelling open all the air controls fully and the damper (if fitted).
- Open the door slowly by releasing the handle and allowing to stay like this for 10 to 20 seconds. As opening the door too fast can cause smoke to be drawn into the room as the firebox has not had time for the pressure to equalise. The smoke will then take the easiest route which is out, through the opening.
- Fully open the door slowly and carefully place the fuel.
- It is recommended to use 2 pieces of wood weighing 1.2 to 1.4kg in total. 25cm long. Only refuel when flames die down.
- Put the logs diagonally to each other so that they can catch fire easily.
- Close the door. (All our stoves are tested as closed-door appliances and should be used as such.)
- Keep the air control in the fully open position until the logs catch fire.
- This can then be reduced to aid slower combustion.
Lighting The Stove with Solid Fuel
- Ensure all air controls are in the fully open position.
- In the base of the stove, on top of the grate, place the alternative Hetas approved fuel, and follow the relevant instructions provided by the fuel supplier.
- Close the door when flames appear.
- Some soot may appear on the glass during lighting. This is normal and will go after a period of time.
Adding fuel
- Firstly, ensure that the fuel you are using is Hetas recommended.
- Only refuel when flames die down to avoid burns/accidental damage.
- When refuelling open all the air controls fully and the damper (if fitted).
- Open the door slowly by releasing the handle and allowing to stay like this for 10 to 20 seconds. As opening the door to fast can cause smoke to be drawn into the room as the firebox has not had time for the pressure to equalise. In this instance, if the door is
- opened too quickly, the smoke will naturally take the easiest route which will be out through the door opening.
- Fully open the door slowly and carefully place the fuel.
- Close the door. (All our stoves are designed to be closed-door appliances and should be used as such.)
- Keep the air control in the fully open position for the fuel to catch fire.
