Congratulations on your purchase of this quality Multi Fuel Stove.
.
We guarantees the quality of its product and is committed to meeting its
customer’s needs.
We have a lot of workers and engineers with experience in design, manufacture and
importing of quality heating products.
This manual contains instructions on how to install and maintain your stove and make full
use of its functions, both for your comfort and safety. Please take the time to read through it
carefully.
Warning to the user
An incorrectly installed heating appliance can cause serious accidents
(chimney fires, burning of plastic insulation materials, in partition walls, etc.). The insulation
of both the appliance and the exhaust gas pipe has to be reinforced and done according to the
Standards and the Building Regulations for safety reasons. The installation must be carried
out according to the Standards and the Building Regulations. Failure to respect these
instructions may lead to the warranty becoming invalid. The manufacturer’s responsibility
shall be limited to the supply of the appliance.
This stove is meant to burn wood or solid fuel safely
WARNING
Incorrectly installing this stove can be dangerous and possible cause
Serious accidents. We recommend that you enlist the services of a
Professional Engineer for its installation
and future maintenance requirements.

THIS APPLIANCE BECOMES EXTREMELY HOT
AND CAN PRODUCE POISONOUS GASES.
A fire-guard should be used if children or the infirm are present.
The installer is required to EXACTLY follow these instructions
and to comply with all local, national and applicable international
standards.
YOUR CHIMNEY makes you fire work. It stores surplus heat from the fire, which makes
the gas inside its hollow flue lighter, so that it rises, pulling fresh air through the fuel and
making it burn. The stove is for connection to a single flue which must be:
Able to operate safely at temperatures of up to 500°C
Free from even the slightest leak, and absolutely incapable of spilling fumes into the
dwelling
Smooth internally, unobstructed and able to be swept along its entire length.
Generate a continuous up-draught in use of at least 12Pa
These ends will often be achieved by the chimney being constructed entirely of masonry
or insulated metal components, having an internal size of more than 150mm but less than
300mm, being substantially vertical with no severe bends or horizontal portions, being at
least 5m high and terminating at least 1m above any roof.
AIR SUPPLY
You stove needs is air to breath - there must be a permanent, unobstructed, fresh air supply
into the room will which the fire is installed equal to a total of at least 35 square cm. This can
sometimes to be provided by air leaking in through doors, windows etc., but in any case of
doubt, fit a purpose made air vent. An extractor fan or another fuel-using appliance even in a
different room can remove air.
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
Although it is often possible to sweep the chimney through the fire with the top baffle
removed, consider fitting clean hatches to provide access if needed.
CHECK THE INSTALLATION!
Once installed, light the fire, demonstrate it to the householder and
check that:
A. It burns controllable and does not emit fumes to the room.
B. The route for the chimney terminal is completely airtight, unobstructed and able to be
swept.
C. The entire construction is of durable fireproof materials.
D. The flue presents a draught in use of at least 12Pa.

LIVING WITH YOUR STOVE
Every fuel, chimney and condition of use is different. Only experience will show which are
the best setting for you.
LIGHTING
If you are lighting the fire after a period of non-use, do check the chimney for blockages first!
Empty the ashes, place two or three firefighters close together or screw-up papers covered
with dry sticks, at the back of the grate and light them. When they are burning well gently fill
just up to the level of the firebox liners, with dry fuel, close tile door and set the spin valve.
CONTROL
How fast the fire burns, and how much heat it gives, depends on how much air reaches the
fuel. The stove has two controls - they can be extremely hot so always use the tool or a glove
to operate them.
The primary (1) control is below the window and delivers air under the fuel. Simply turn spin
valve to open and close. The secondary or air wash control (2) is at the top of the stove. Pull
it right for open, left for close.
EMPTYING ASHES
Use the tool to lift out the ash pan. Remember to let ash cool before disposing in plastic sacks
or should never be allowed to build up so that it comes into contact with the underside of the
grate.
EXTENDED BURNING
Allow the fire to burn down to a low, hot fire bed. Empty ash and fully fill with hard fuel
such as anthracite (c30mm size is best). Close spin valve and secondary air vent and your
stove can burn overnight without attention.
CLEANING
Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth when cool, don't use abrasives, metal polish
or cream cleaners as they can scratch the surface. Never use aerosol sprays near the hot fire -
they can ignite.
KEEPING THE WINDOW CLEAN
With most fuels the window will require no cleaning other than an occasional wipe with a dry
cloth. Simply operating the stove for a few minutes at high output will usually burn-off any
deposit left by tar or wet fuels. Severe stain can be removed with a proprietary cleaner.
Reduce the risk of staining by using only very dry fuel and having the air-wash control
always slightly open.
OPENING THE DOOR.
THE STOVE is designed to be operated only with the door closed. Open the door slowly to
minimize fume emission and prevent hot fuel falling out.
FUELS
Different fuels will perform differently with different chimney and air supply situations.
There is no perfect fuel for every situation, so we strongly recommend that you try a selection
of fuels (or mixtures) to find which suits you best.

SMOKING CONTROL: In certain areas special rules apply to reduce smoke nuisance.
In the united kingdom in those areas designated "smoke control areas" (smokeless zone) you
are not permitted to emit smoke and are encouraged to use authorized smokeless fuels. You
may burn wood and other potentially smokey fuels as long as you do so without producing
smoke, but you are not permitted to acquire such fuels. In the republic of Ireland: wood and
peat briquette are permitted.
WOOD
When wood is cut down its cells are full of water. Burning such wet or green wood wastes
heat in making steam and produced flammable acidic tars which will cling to, and can
damage your stove and chimney. Logs should be split length ways and dried for at least a
year. The fine, white residue produce when wood bums is not ash, but the remains of cell
walls which can burn if kept hot enough, so do not de-ash the fire until absolutely necessary.
Minimize emission from wood by:
Using only absolutely dry wood
Splitting logs lengthways
Fill little and often
Always have the air-wash control (2) at least a little open
ANTHRACITE AND DRY STEAM COAL
(SMOKELESS) Are natural hard, shiny forms of coal. Slow to light, they burn with great
heat and last a long time. Choose the small nut size.
BRIQUETTES are compressed blocks of fuel, generally able to burn for long periods and
remarkable for their consistency. Home fire and Phurnacite are smokeless types while other
brands are made from lignite, peat or house coal.
PETROLEUM COKE sold as "petcoke", "longbeach" and under various proprietary names,
is made from oil. Easy to light and to control, its exceptional heat and lack of protective ash
mean that it must not be used unless mixed with another fuel. Grate and liner life will be
drastically reduced when using petroleum coke.
HOUSEHOLD WASTES some plastics give off toxic fumes when burned and remember
that batteries and aerosols explode! This is not an incinerator, so only
use the recommended fuels and never use liquid in any form.
SUMMER SHUT DOWN
Before a long period of non-use, empty fuel and ash, remove the throat plate and leave all the
air controls open to allow 3 ventilation to reduce condensation.
PROBLEMS?
Problems like those listed here are due to some difficulty with the installation, chimney or
fuels, so please check back through this leaflet carefully. If necessary seek specialist advice.
POOR HEAT OUTPUT
The actual size depend on the insulation and air-change ratio of the room. To attempt to heat
a larger room will result in excessive fuel consumption. And damaging overheating. Use the
recommended fuels.

LACK OF CONTROLLABILITY
Some fuels give off lots of very flammable gas when they act hot, which may burn
excessively until the gases have been used up. You can reduce this effect by making sure that
the fire is set to "low" for a while before refuelling and checking that the door seals fully.
DIFFICULTY BURNING FOR EXTENDED PERIOD
If the fire goes out with fuel still in the firebox, then this is probably because too little air has
been reaching it, try leaving the air controls open a little more. Check that the door seals are
sound and that there are no cracks and gaps anywhere in the flue. For longest burning, we
recommend hard fuel.
SMOKE COMING INTO ROOM
Fumes are poisonous - smoke emission must never be tolerated.
UNSUITABLE BLOCKED OR UN-SWEPT CHIMNEY
The first requirement for correct operation is a sound chimney. Check the requirement earlier
in this document and in case of any doubt have the chimney professionally swept.
POOR AIR SUPPLY: Is there enough air? Lack of air to the fire is a common cause of
smoking and poor performance. Air supply problems may be worse in certain wind
conditions (often incorrectly described “downdraught". Where air can be sucked out of the
room the answer is to fit an air vent as near to the fire as possible, facing into the usual wind
direction.
DOWNDRAUGHT
Wind can blow down a chimney if there is something higher nearby such as a tree, hill or
high building. Fitting an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimney top can cure this. Types
which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
POOR CHIMNEY DRAUGHT
Chimney draught in use must be at least 12Pa.
CHIMNEY FIRE
In the case of deposits inside the chimney igniting (roaring sound + dense smoke and sparks
from the chimney) immediately close the door, shut all air controls and call the fire brigade.
Prevent fires by using very dry fuel and having your chimney swept regularly.
MAINTENANCE MONTHLY
With the- fire cold, remove, clean and refit the throat plate (baffle plate) fitted below the flue
outlet. Check that the flue is clear and unblocked, and that the door seals are sound.
ANNUALLY - SWEEP THE CHIMNEY
The entire length of the chimney from stove to outlet should be swept annually,
or more often if smokeless fuel is used.
NEW PARTS
The stove has been extensively tested for safety - please don’t try to modify it and always
make sure to obtain genuine spar
