Tertiary Air Control (B) –Your tertiary air control allows you to control the amount of hot air fired into the
burning chamber to re-ignite the smoke for a more complete burn. This works on a push pull slider
Secondary Air Control (C) –This works on a left to right slider system and controls the flow of secondary
air into the stove. This air allows the stove burn to be controlled at a lower burn rate, as well as the air
wash that keeps the glass clean.
Riddler Control (D) –This is the control for the riddling grate. This works on a push-pull slider system
Lighting Your Stove
Your new stove is fitted with an adjustable primary air intake, controlled by the slider at the base of the
model, an adjustable secondary air intake positioned to above the door (which also controls the air wash
system) and an adjustable tertiary air intake, controlled by the bottom right-hand slider, for complete
combustion of all fuels. The air is drawn from the rear of the stove, through the direct air connection,
which allows for the connection of a direct air kit.
It is advised to light a number of small fires to ‘bed in’ your new stove and ensure the longevity of the
metal construction and any coatings. Creating too large a fire too soon can lead to warping of the body
of the stove as the metal expands and doesn’t reset. You should never use more than 2 quarter logs in
the firebox at the same time as this will lead to over firing and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
Successfully lighting a fire can be inhibited by cold air in the flue and changeable weather conditions
(please see our section on Autumn & Spring Syndrome) and so our reverse fuel stacking method detailed
below provides the best chance of lighting a fire on all occasions as the initial heat created is targeted
upwards to warm the air within the flue rather than down into larger logs at the base of the fire box:
1.Check that both the primary, secondary and tertiary air intakes are in the open position.
2.Remove larger lumps of burnt material from the firebox, leaving a 1cm layer of fine ash to insulate the
grate.
3.Have to hand all fuel required; kindling (small and larger pieces), firelighters, matches and a selection
of logs ranging from small to large quarter pieces.
4.Create a grid of dry kindling using 6 pieces and place firelighters within the 4 squares of the grid.
5.Strike a match and light the firelighters within the grid of kindling and leave the door open.
6.As the kindling takes, gradually place larger kindling on top of the fire and leave the door open.
