OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
3.11 We would recommend that the stove is burnt at high  
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.  
This will help reduce the build-up of tars and creosotes  
within the appliance.  
2. USING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME  
2.1 When new, it is best to burn the fire at a low output for the  
first few days of use. This will allow the construction to  
settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.  
4. BURNING SOLID FUEL  
2.2 During this time the stove may give off some unpleasant  
odours, and we recommend that you keep the room well  
ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up of fumes.  
4.1 Open the Airwash control to approximately 50% and the  
Primary air control fully.  
4.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on  
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling  
wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn plastics.  
3. BURNING WOOD  
4.3 To avoid the build-up of condensation on the glass door it  
is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire  
establishes, and the glass warms.  
3.1 Open the Airwash control fully and open the Primary air  
control to approximately 25% open.  
3.2 Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on  
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling  
wood. Light the paper or firelighters. Do not burn plastics.  
4.4 As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of solid  
fuel and fully close the door. Do not leave the stove with  
the door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and  
cause permanent damage.  
3.3 To avoid the build up of condensation on the door glass it is  
advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire  
establishes, and the glass warms.  
The stove may be operated with the door fully open if a  
sparkguard (Stockton 7 - Stovax part 7227/Stockton 8 -  
Stovax part 7228) is fitted.  
3.4 As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of wood  
and fully close the door. Do not leave the stove with the  
door slightly open as this could over-fire the stove and  
cause permanent damage.  
4.5 As the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air  
control to approximately 25% and control the burn rate  
using Primary air control only.  
The stove may be operated with the door fully open if a  
sparkguard (Stockton 7 - Stovax part 7227/Stockton 8 -  
Stovax part 7228) is fitted.  
4.6 Before re-fuelling the appliance it is advisable to first de-ash  
the firebed, using the riddling grate system, operated by  
using removable handle to pull the riddling knob in and  
out. This causes the ash to fall down into the ashpan. Do  
not use bare hands to operate the riddling system.  
3.5 As the fire becomes established close the Primary air  
control and control the burn rate using the Airwash control  
only.  
4.7 Then open the Primary air control fully for a few minutes,  
to establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel.  
3.6 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed of ash to  
build-up on the grate, and control the combustion using the  
Airwash control only.  
4.8 Allow the new fuel to burn at a high output for a few  
minutes before adjusting the burn rate with the Primary air  
control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and  
often to maintain clean and effective burning.  
3.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first rake the  
embers evenly over the firebed then open the Airwash  
control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed  
before adding new logs.  
4.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation  
and personal preferences will be established by experience  
in using the stove.  
3.8 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes  
before adjusting the burn rate with the Airwash control to  
the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to  
maintain clean and efficient burning.  
4.10 It is not recommended to load large amounts of fuel and  
burn with the Primary air control on low settings for long  
periods of time. As this will reduce the effectiveness of the  
glass cleaning effect of te airwash. Also this will cause a  
large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue  
system.  
3.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation  
and personal preferences will be established by experience  
in using the appliance.  
3.10 It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and  
burn with the Airwash control on low settings for long  
periods of time. As this will reduce the effectiveness of the  
glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a  
large build up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue  
system.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
5.2 As heat can remain in the ash for a long period after use  
4.11 We would recommend that the appliance is burnt at high  
output for at least 30 minutes each day when it is in use.  
This will help reduce the build up of tars and creosotes  
within the stove.  
care must be taken when removing and carrying the full  
ashpan. We suggest that the ashpan is carried using gloved  
hands. Or the ash is placed directly in to a Stovax Ash  
Caddle (Stovax part number 4228)  
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE DOOR AS A REST OR SUPPORT  
WHEN REFUELLING OR ADJUSTING THE AIR CONTROLS AS  
THIS COULD CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE  
APPLIANCE.  
5.3 When burning wood the amount of ash will be smaller and  
may only need removal once every week. To do this, allow  
the fire to burn out and cool. Then after removing the log  
retainer scoop out the ash with the suitable shovel. It is best  
to leave a layer of ash in the stove to form a bed for the  
new fire.  
5.4 Do not place ash in a bin made from plastic or any other  
combustible material.  
6. RECOMMENDED FUELS  
6.1 Wood  
Burn only seasoned timber, with a moisture content of less  
than 20%. In most cases this would require drying cut  
wood for 12 to 18 months before use. Poor quality timber  
could cause low combustion efficiency, produce large  
amounts of harmful condensation, which could reduce the  
effectiveness of the airwash system, and ultimately the life  
of the stove. Do not burn painted or impregnated wood.  
5. ASH REMOVAL  
The symptoms of poor performance related to wet wood  
include:-  
5.1 The burning of any fuel will product ash, which will have to  
be removed after a period of use. This time will depend on  
the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the stove it is  
advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even  
go out completely. The ashpan can be removed from the  
stove using the tool provided, after opening the door.  
Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well  
Smokey fires with little flame  
Dirty glass  
Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney  
Low heat output  
Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and  
blue/grey smoke from the  
chimney.  
To help avoid large build-ups of tar and creosote within the  
stove and the flue system, it is recommended to burn at  
high output for at least 30 minutes each day. The use of  
Stovax Protector chimney cleaner will also help to reduce  
the problem.  
6.2 Solid Fuel  
Burn manufactured smokeless fuels, or  
anthracite, list as suitable for use with closed heating  
stoves. Do not burn 'petro-coke' or other petroleum  
based fuels, as this will invalidate the product guarantee.  
If you require advice on suitable solid fuels contact your local  
Approved Coal Merchant. Details can be obtained by ringing the  
solid Fuel Association advice line on freephone 0800 600 000. Or  
their web site at www.solidfuel.co.uk
