For the Installer

Finally before firing the stove for the first time a check should be made to ensure that
the assembly and stove installation has been satisfactory and that there are no leaks in
any seals in the appliance and appliance connections to the chimney.
Ensure that the appliance and chimney flue are functioning correctly before finally
handing over to the user. If necessary read the later parts of this manual for guidance
on care required when first lighting.
Inform the user that the appliance has been commissioned and ready to use and give
instruction on the safe operation of the stove.
These Instructions must be left with the user and the user should be instructed to keep
them in a safe place.
Operating instructions
Please note that HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of
dry seasoned wood logs on this appliance. HETAS Ltd Approval does not
cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the wood logs,
nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.

Fuel

The stove has been tested in accordance with EN 13229:2001, EN 13229:2001/
A1:2003, EN 13229:2001/A2:2004, and NS 3058 for stoking split, dried birchwood,
and is approved for broad-leaved/coniferous tree wood. The firewood must have a
water content of 15-20 % and its max. length should be 25 cm when leaning them up
against the back panel.
Stoking with wet firewood causes both soot, environmental pollution and bad fuel
economy. Freshly cut wood contains approx. 60-70% water and is thoroughly unsuit-
able for stoking. Count min. 1-2 years of storage time for newly cut wood before
using.
Wood with a diameter of more than 100 mm should be split. Regardless of wood size,
it should always have at least one surface area free of bark.
We do not recommend stoking with painted, laminated or impregnated wood,
wood with a synthetic surface, painted refuse wood, chipboard, plywood,
domestic waste, paper briquettes and pit coal, as this will produce malodorous
smoke, which could be poisonous.
When firing with the above-mentioned items and amounts larger than those recom-
mended, the stove is subjected to a larger amount of heat, which results in a higher
chimney temperature and lower efficiency. This can result in the stove and chimney
becoming damaged and would void the warranty.
The calorific value of the firewood is closely connected to the moisture level of the
firewood. Moist firewood has a low heat value. The more water the wood contains, the
more energy it takes for this water to vaporise, resulting in this energy being lost.
