FOR CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR OPEN WOOD FIRE
These are guidelines only as each installation has it’s own unique aspects.
Using the handle, open the screen (see Dia 1.) and place a generous amount of crumpled newspaper on top of
the grate. Place a dozen or so, pieces of finely split kindling on top and behind the paper. You can place fire-
lighters under the newspaper to help sustain the fire, if you wish.
Light the paper and/or firelighters from both ends and the
middle. As soon as the kindling has ‘caught’ and is burning
briskly, add smallish pieces of wood to the fire. When the
fire is established, put on larger pieces in a criss-cross
pattern.
You may notice a faint smell on the first light of the fire. This
is the paint coat curing and this smell will soon disappear.
Screen up
and open:
damper opens
automatically
Dia 1.
You can continue to operate the fire safely with the screen
in the up position, or if the fire is left unattended you can
lower the screen to guard against any possible embers
sparking out of the fireplace.
This will automatically close the flue damper and slow the
rate of combustion.
IMPORTANT: You must always use the supplied grate
and safely load the fire with the correct amount of firewood
(maximum 5kg). This open fire has been tested to 2918
and you run the risk of overfiring if the fire is overloaded
and the warranty may also be voided if these instructions
are not followed.
Screen down
and closed:
damper closes
automatically
Dia 2.
Important Note:
Do not load the fire with more than
5kg of softwood. Do not use the
fire without the supplied grate.

You can control the fire with the damper settings. The preset control handle is located on the top of the firebox, above the
screen. The control allows you to preset the minimum opening of the damper, when the screen is closed.
This adjusts the burn rate, as it restricts the flow of combustion air to the fire.
Presetting and changing the setting of the damper control
1. Push the preset control handle in order to disengage it from its catches.
2. Keeping it pushed in, slide up or down in order to obtain the desired setting:
• Preset control upwards = trap more open increased draught.
• Preset control downwards = trap more closed decreased draught.
3. Once you have obtained the desired position, release the control.
4. When using the appliance for the first few times, it will be necessary to set the damper trap according to the
natural draught of your chimney. This is unique to each individual install.
