FIREBRICKS
The firebricks are designed to fit in the base and along the rear and side walls of

3) Place 3 - 4 small pieces of firewood on top of the kindling.
4) Open air slide fully.
5) Light several parts of the newspapers.
6) Close the door to avoid smoke spillage. Do not close latch, this will allow
extra air into the firebox and helps create a draft.
After approximately10 minutes:
7) Once firewood is fully ignited, CLOSE DOOR FULLY.
INITIAL OPERATION PERIOD
Operate your first few fires with the fan on high to allow the high temperature
paint to cure.
NOTE: For the first few fires the high temperature paint curing may cause an
odour. Ensure sufficient ventilation is supplied to allow dissipation of any smoke
and odour.
THIS ODOUR IS NORMAL

GENERAL OPERATION
Once the heater has been burning on high for approximately 20 to 30 minutes it
will have reached operatingtemperature. You may now slow the burn down by
adjusting the air slide into the closed position. Turn the fan on to the preferred
speed setting.
When adding wood, open the air slide fully, wait a few seconds, then open the
door slowly. After re-loading, leave air slide open, on high for 15 - 20 mins to
allow new fuel to catch freely and entirely.
Then re-adjust the air slide to desired setting for maximum efficiency. If the fire
is too small, refuelling first with kindling is advised.
OVERNIGHT BURN
An overnight burn can be achieved by following these steps an hour before
retiring:
1) Open air slide fully
2) Load with large pieces of dry wood
3) When all wood is burning, slowly move the air slide to low position.
4) Turn fan to OFF position.
NOTE: This procedure can be done at any time, for example, in the morning so
that the fire is still going later that day.

9
BAFFLE PLATE LOCATION
To clean your flue systemthe baffle plate will need to be removed.
Before continuing ensure the fire is completely extinguished.
1) Lift baffle up from the rear and slide forward out through the door. You will
need to lift the rear lip of the baffle plate over the front and rear mounting rods.
2) After cleaning the flue system simply reverse the procedure and replace your
baffle.
3) Do not light the fire while the baffle is removed as this could cause a serious
house fire.

FAN SERVICE
To provide years of trouble free operation the fan motor bearings are factory
lubricated. However, damage can occur if dust or lint builds up in blades.
Therefore the fan assembly should be inspected and cleaned each year.
1. Turn off power and disconnect power lead.
2. Brush or vacuum fan blades taking care not to damage the blades.
3. Plug in power and turn on.
CLEANING THE FIREBOX
Ash should be cleared or removed when build up reaches the level of the door
opening.
To clean, use a metal fireplace shovel making sure all deposits are cold first.
Do not place hot ashes of coals in plastic rubbish bin.
CONTROLS
AIR SLIDE
Moving the air slide to the left enables maximum air into the firebox. Moving air
slide to the right closes off air into the firebox, which slows the burn down.
FAN SWITCH
3 position switch with 2 speeds - High, Low.
