Lighting and ontrolling the Fire
Warning: The front of the stove becomes very hot when in use. Do not place towels on the
hand rail when the stove is alight and keep children and pets away from the stove. Always
use the fire guard supplied.
Before lighting en ure that all the internal component are correctly in po ition. See Figure 3.
Open the a h door on the bottom left of the tove by in erting the operating tool into the handle lot
and turning it in an anticlockwi e direction.
Figure 1 how the primary air control lever on the left. Pu h the lever left to open and right to

Notes on Woodburning
Wood burn mo t efficiently when the air for combu tion i upplied from above the fire bed rather than
below. The air upplied above the fire bed provide the oxygen nece ary for the volatile ga e
( moke), given off by the wood a it heat , to combu t. Thi en ure that the ga e are burnt and u ed
to heat the tove in tead of being wa ted up the chimney or conden ing and forming tarry depo it
in ide the tove, in the flue or on the tove gla . Running the tove with the primary air control open
and the air wa h control clo ed will provide oxygen for the wood to burn on the fire bed but will not
provide air for the volatile ga e above the fire bed to combu t re ulting in a moky inefficient fire.
With the above in mind it i plain to ee that the tove hould ideally be run with the primary air inlet
clo ed and the air wa h control open whenever po ible. Another advantage of running the tove with
the air wa h open i that the air being drawn into the tove travel acro the gla forming an air
barrier between the gla and the fire bed helping to prevent moke particle ticking to the gla .
If the fire die down too low, opening the primary air control for a hort period will revive it.
orrect running temperatures for wood burning
To get the be t re ult from your tove it i recommended that a wood tove thermometer (available
from your tove dealer) be fitted to the flue pipe above the tove, at eye level if po ible. The figure
below how the recommended temperature of the flue ga e :
115 °C  245°C (240°F - 475°F)
The flue ga e hould be in thi temperature band for the afe t, mo t efficient and mo t economical
operation of your tove.
Below 115°C (240°F)
Thi i below the conden ation point of wood ga e and may cau e the build up of tar in the chimney,
dirty the to5ve gla and re ult in the inefficient burning of fuel.
Above 245 °C (475°F)
Too hot. Heat will be wa ted up the chimney. Exce heat may damage the tove or ignite an exi ting
accumulation of tar re ulting in a chimney fire.
Don not overfire the cook tove. If the tove or chimney connector glow , you are overfiring.
Extended Wood Burning
Loading a large amount of wood into the tove all at once will reduce the temperature in ide the tove.
If the temperature i too low, the ga e given off from the wood will be too low to combu t re ulting in a
lot of moke covering the in ide of the tove, including the gla , with oot. To combat thi problem it i
a good idea to increa e the temperature of the tove before loading by further opening the air inlet .
Load the wood and leave the air control open until the moi ture i driven out of the wood and the tove
i back up to an efficient operating temperature. The air inlet can then be reduced to hold the
temperature of the tove. Loading the tove little and often will help keep the tove temperature teady.
Note: The above text hould be u ed a a guide only. The ideal operation of your tove depend on a
number of factor , which vary with each in tallation, and o gaining experience operating your tove i
the only way to learn it be t operation.
reosote - Formation and Need for Removal
When wood i burned lowly, it produce tar and other organic vapour , which combine with expelled
moi ture to form creo ote. The creo ote vapour conden e in the relatively cool chimney flue of a low
burning fire. A a re ult, creo ote re idue accumulate on the flue lining. When ignited thi creo ote
make an extremely hot fire.
The chimney and chimney connector hould be in pected at lea t once every two month during the
heating ea on to determine if creo ote build up ha occured. If creo ote ha accumulated, it hould be
removed to reduce the ri k of a chimney fire.

Types of wood for fuel
For be t re ult u e well ea oned hardwood. Allow wood to dry out under cover in wellventilated
condition for at lea t twelve month . Wood i ready for burning when radial crack appear in the
end of the log . Burning wood that i not ea oned will re ult in tar being depo ited in the tove, on
the gla and in the flueway . Thi build up of tar i a hazard and if it ignite may cau e a chimney
fire. Re inou oftwood burn well and give a high output for hort period but i not a efficient
and doe not la t a long a hardwood.
WARNING: DO NOT STORE WOOD WITHIN THE CLEARANCE AREA OF THE STOVE
Ash Removal
Wood burn be t on it own a h and a manageable layer of a h on the grate i of benefit to the
efficient running of your tove. To empty the a he from the a hpan below the grate, open the door
on the bottom left of the tove u ing the operating tool by in erting the tool into the lot and turning
anticlockwi e. In ert the tool into the lot on the a h pan and pull forward to remove.
A he hould be placed in a metal container with a tight lid. The clo ed container of a he hould
be placed on a noncombu tible floor on the ground, well away from all combu tible material ,
pending final di po al. If the a he are di po ed of by burial in oil or otherwi e locally di per ed,
they hould be retained in the clo ed container until all cinder have thoroughly cooled.
Operating the Oven and Hobs
The temperature of the hob i graduated from left to right. The left ide i hotter and o i u ed for
boiling, and the right ide for immering. The oven door and the fire door are opened by lifting the
handle either manually or u ing the operating tool. Both handle will become hot during operation
when a cloth or the operating tool provided i recommended.
The oven and hob are heated directly by the fire. In order to heat up the oven and hob the fire
hould be lit a de cribed. Once the fire i e tabli hed the flue damper hould be pu hed in. Thi
will allow the hot fume from the fire to circulate around the inner cavity between the tove and the
oven thu heating up both the hob and the oven.
The hob lid can be left in the down po ition when the hob i not being u ed in order to keep the
hotplate warm. In the up po ition the they will allow more heat to come into the room.
To reduce the heat going to the oven when the tove i up and running, the flue damper knob can
be pulled out. Thi will allow the hot fume to e cape directly up the chimney via the boiling ide of
the hotplate thu reducing the heat to the oven but maintaining a hot hotplate.
To maintain a good cooking temperature in the oven only require a mall amount of fuel. To
reduce the effective ize of the firebox, the fuel bar can be moved toward the back, and thu u ed
to hold a maller amount of fuel at the rear of the firebox, ee Figure 5. Thi al o ha the
advantage of reducing the heat radiated through the window making life ea ier for the cook.
The temperature gauge on the oven door provide an indication of the oven temperature. It hould
be noted however that ince the gauge i attached to the door it will drop if the door i left open for
any prolonged period, in which ca e, the oven may be hotter than i indicated on the dial. Once the
door i clo ed again the gauge will come back to temperature.

leaning the Stove
The tove hould only be cleaned when it i cold. The exterior can be du ted with a firm bru h. Do not
u e a cloth, a thi will drag on the paint fini h leaving lint on the urface.
A the tove top i u ed for cooking, normal wear and tear will occur. Spill hould be wiped up
immediately with a damp cloth, but oven cleaner hould not be u ed on the hob urface.
The exterior of the tove i painted with high temperature tove paint and from time to time it may
become nece ary to renovate the exterior by repainting. The urface mu t be prepared by rubbing
down with a wire bru h. The tove paint will not key to the urface if there are fat depo it or food
particle on the area to be re prayed. High temperature tove paint are available in aero ol form from
your tove dealer. Do not u e thi paint until the tove i completely cold and alway follow the
in truction on the container before tarting to paint. The u ual precaution hould be taken uch a
covering adjoining urface and protecting the bol ter lid .
The bol ter lid are made from tainle teel. The e have been treated with oil at the factory to prevent
fingerprint and mark forming. The lid can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and proprietary tainle
teel cleaner may be u ed. It i recommended that after uch cleaning, the lid be again treated with
oil by wiping over with a lint free cloth. Thi will prevent fingerprint and mear . Baby oil or imilar i
recommended for thi purpo e.
The loading door gla hould tay relatively clean if the correct type of fuel i u ed a de cribed above,
but from time to time thi can be cleaned when cold with a proprietary gla cleaner and a dry cloth, or
depending on oot build up, a nylon pan courer. Vinegar and new paper may al o ucce fully be
u ed.

Method A. 12" 304.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a minimum thickness 3.5" 89 mm) brick
and a 5/8" 15.9 mm) minimum wall thickness clay liner,
construct a wall pass-through. The clay liner must conform
to ASTM C315 Standard Specification for Clay Fire Linings)
or its equivalent. Keep a minimum of 12" 304.8 mm) of brick
masonry between the clay liner and wall combustibles. The
clay liner shall run from the brick masonry outer surface to
the inner surface of the chimney flue liner but not past the
inner surface. Firmly grout or cement the clay liner in place
to the chimney flue liner.
Method B. 9" 228.6 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Using a 6" 152.4 mm) inside diameter, listed,
factory-built Solid-Pak chimney section with insulation of 1"
25.4 mm) or more, build a wall pass-through with a minimum
9" 228.6 mm) air space between the outer wall of the chimney
length and wall combustibles. Use sheet metal supports
fastened securely to wall surfaces on all sides, to maintain
the 9" 228.6 mm) air space. When fastening supports to
chimney length, do not penetrate the chimney liner the inside
wall of the Solid-Pak chimney). The inner end of the Solid-
Pak chimney section shall be flush with the inside of the
masonry chimney flue, and sealed with a non-water soluble
refractory cement. Use this cement to also seal to the brick
masonry penetration.
Method C. 6" 152.4 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall

1" 25.4 mm) each, construct a wall pass-through. There
shall be a minimum 6" 152.4) mm separation area containing
fiberglass insulation, from the outer surface of the wall thimble
to wall combustibles. Support the wall thimble, and cover
its opening with a 24-gage minimum sheet metal support.
Maintain the 6" 152.4 mm) space. There should also be a
support sized to fit and hold the metal chimney connector.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make sure fasteners used to secure the metal
chimney connector do not penetrate chimney flue liner.
Method D. 2" 50.8 mm) Clearance to Combustible Wall
Member: Start with a solid-pak listed factory built chimney
section at least 12" 304 mm) long, with insulation of 1" 25.4
mm) or more, and an inside diameter of 8" 2 inches [51
mm] larger than the 6" [152.4 mm] chimney connector). Use
this as a pass-through for a minimum 24-gage single wall
steel chimney connector. Keep solid-pak section concentric
with and spaced 1" 25.4 mm) off the chimney connector by
way of sheet metal support plates at both ends of chimney
section. Cover opening with and support chimney section
on both sides with 24 gage minimum sheet metal supports.
See that the supports are fastened securely to wall surfaces
on all sides. Make ure fa tener u ed to ecure chimney
flue liner.
NOTES:

Chimney Height
A masonry chimney or a listed factory-build chimney must be the required height above the roof and any other
nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3 (90 cm) higher than the highest point where it passes
through the roof and at least 2 (60 cm) higher than the highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10
(305 cm) of the chimney, measured horizontally.

Flue Draught
The chimney can be checked, before the tove i in talled, with a moke match. If the chimney doe nt pull the moke
it may ugge t the chimney need attention ( ee the Flue Diagno i Table below). Note: Thi te t i only a guide a
an apparently poor flue may improve once the tove i in talled, lit and the flue i warmed. If, once the tove i
in talled, there i any doubt that the chimney i providing an adequate draught, a flue draught reading can be taken
with the tove lit. Two flue draught reading hould be taken, one with the tove at minimum firing rate and one at
maximum firing rate.
Measurement
The flue draught te t hole mu t be drilled in the flue pipe a clo e to the tove a po ible and before any flue draught
tabili er.
Minimum
The tove hould be lit and allowed to warm the flue thoroughly. The air control can then be et o that the tove
burn on a low etting. Allow the burning rate to become teady. The flue draught reading hould now be taken with
the primary air intake clo ed and the airwa h control fully open.
Maximum
The primary air intake can now be opened to allow the tove to burn at maximum rate. Give the tove ome time for
the burning rate to become teady and then clo e the primary air intake, make ure the airwa h control i fully open
and take a flue draught reading immediately.
Ideally, the flue draught reading hould range between 1 mm wg (0.04 in wg) and 2.5 mm wg (0.1 in wg). Any
reading ignificantly out ide thi range may indicate the need for remedial action.
Low flue draughtsymptoms: difficult to light and smoke coming into the room.
Cause Remedy
Cold chimney Line the chimney
Chimney too hort Extend the chimney
Down draught Relocate/extend the chimney terminal. Fit an anti down draught cowl
Chimney diameter too large Line chimney
Chimney ob truction Clear/ weep chimney
Re tricted air upply Check for competing draught (other chimney , extractor hood /fan ), Fit

Flue Stabilizer
A flue tabilizer can be fitted to reduce the draught through the tove if the flue draught i too high. The flue
tabilizer hould; be fitted in the ame room a the tove, be the ame ize a the flue pipe and be fitted no
clo er than 28 (700mm) to the flue outlet of the appliance
Positioning
The overall dimen ion of the tove are hown in Figure 1. The figure below how the requied clearance

Flue connection
DO NOT ONNE T THIS UNIT TO A HIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIAN E
The flue pipe u ed to connect the tove to the chimney i 6 (150mm) in diameter. The flue connection i on the
top of the tove, in the centre at the back.
Important notes:
1. The in tallation mu t allow for adequate chimney weeping.
2. Avoid u ing bend greater than 45° to the vertical. All pipe flue ection hould be a clo e to vertical
a po ible.
3. All joint in the flue y tem mu t be effectively ealed.
4. All flue ocket mu t face upward .
On completing the in tallation, check that all the internal component of the tove are po itioned correctly.
Check:
 Grate, baffle, a hpan, in ulation brick , fuel bar. See Figure 3 .
