Getting Started/User Instructions 2. Using the Appliance for the First Time 2.1 To allow the appliance to settle, and fixing glues and paint to fully cure, operate the appliance at a low temperature for first few days. 2.2 Do not touch the paint during the first period of use. 2.3 During this time the appliance may give off some unpleasant odours. Keep the room well ventilated to avoid a build-up of fumes. 2.4 Please be aware that, during use, rope seals may discolour. This is normal. 4.
User Instructions If the Smoke Control kit is disabled, a notch is visible when the air control is pulled out, see Diagram 8. This is not visible if the Smoke Control kit is enabled. 5.3 Light the paper or firelighters, see Diagram 10. 10 8 End of Channel 65 Side View 4.4 To meet the requirements of a Smoke Control Area the appliance MUST be operated correctly in order to minimise the amount of smoke produced.
User Instructions 6. Running the Appliance 6.3 Maximum Running 14 Wood Burning 6.1 Start Up (Maximum In) There are several settings that can be used when burning wood, see Diagram 12. Maximum Running The air control slider is operated by pushing or pulling to increase or decrease the air flow. Each position is indicated by an indent.
User Instructions If the Smoke Control kit is enabled, this setting allows the appliance to burn at the lowest output. The air control can not be shut down completely. 6.11 Do not close the air control until the fire is burning well. Off/ Shut Down 6.6 After refuelling: Burn the new logs at a high temperature for a few minutes before adjusting the air control. 6.12 Experience establishes settings to suit personal preferences. 6.
Care & Maintenance 10. Chimney Fire Shut Down If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Stovax do not recommend shutting down the air controls completely unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see Section 10 for advice). Closing the control during the burning process will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of gasses that could ignite dangerously. 10.1 6.20 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some flame within the firebox. 10.2 6.
Care & Maintenance 14. Care Of Stove 12. Cleaning Glass 12.1 Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system and good quality fuel. Use the boost setting to clear any build up. 12.2 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required. Before undertaking this operation allow appliance to cool fully. Do not clean hot glass. 12.
