Before Operating this Appliance

Therstfewresinthestoveshouldbedevelopedslowlyandonlyreachingamoderatesizeafter

two hours, to allow the seals to harden and excess sealant to be extruded. The paint will also cure

during this time. After curing, the paint used on the stove will harden and be capable of withstanding

650°C, but as it begins curing with the stove’s rise in temperature the paint will emit a blue, pungent

smelling,haze.Thesefumesmayactivateasmokedetector,iftted.Duringthisperiodtheroom

should not be occupied by people or pets and windows must be left open to ventilate the room. The

time taken for the paint to be fully cured will be dependant upon the temperature but it should be

expectedtotakeapproximately6hours.Ifyoure-paintortnewpartstoyourstove,anotherperiod

of curing will be necessary but the curing time will be much shorter.

Lighting The Stove.

Open the direct drawing damper, the air wash vent and under grate air slide. Place some

crumpled paper onto the grate, and on this place small pieces of kindling wood. (Firelighters are

notrecommendedforwoodresastheyaredesignedtogiveasmall,longburningameforcoal

lighting). Light the paper and close the stove door. The open direct drawing damper will allow the

maximumairtobedrawnthroughthestovetocompensatefortheuebeingcold.Theairentering

the stove through the air wash ventwillkeepsmokeawayfromtheglassandsupplysufcientair

for the paper to burn, whilst the under grate air will to cause the paper to burn more intensely. When

the wood kindling is burning well, open the side or front door to load larger pieces of wood onto the

re.Closethedirect draught damper and under grate air slidewhenthereiswellestablished,

andcontrol theburning rateof there withthe air wash vent setting. Extreme caution must be

exercised to ensure nothing falls from the stove whenever the the doors are opened. The stove must

never be left unattended with any of its doors open.

The Controls

Air Wash

Airsuppliedto a woodrethrough the

air wash directs air to the volatile gasses

released from the wood with any "spare"

un-burned air reaching the wood to

generate more heat within the wood,

to release more gasses. Because this

minimises the risk of unburned gasses and their potential heat from escaping, only the air wash

supplyshouldbeusedwhenburninganestablishedwoodre.Theairwashsupplyalsoservesto

act as a barier between the glass and the tar laden volatile gasses.

Under Grate Air

The under grate air slide allows air to be fed directly to the core

oftheretopromoterapidgrowthinresize,butshouldonly

beusedwhenlightingareorrevivingarethathasreducedto

brightly will cause the wood to generate more gasses than the

airwash cansupplysufcient airforits combustion,causing

wasted heat and the unburned gasses to deposit soot and tars

withinthestoveandueways.

Direct Draught Damper

The direct draught damper allows the products of combustion

to enter the ue without having to pass through the stove’s bafe

resultant very hot gasses leaving the stove may cause damage to

theuesystem.

Fuelling the Stove.

Always open the loading doors allowing a few seconds between breaking the seal and opening fully

by opening the air wash fully for a few minutes. If the stove has become cold it may be necessary

to open the under grate air and introduce some kindling wood into the stove. Always rake a portion

of the embers towards the front of the stove and place the wood towards the back of the stove as

thiswillminimizethepossibilityofsmokereachingtheglassandofthewooditselffallingagainst

the glass. Loading wood to form an open, random, layout will help air to reach all parts of the wood;

with smoke. Maintaining a clean efcient re begins with burning only the driest wood you can

possibly obtain. All wood will contain some moisture but because the wood will not reach its ignition

temperature until this moisture has been evaporated, the heat needed from wood already burning

to boil away this water is heat lost to the stove. The amount of heat lost can be calculated because

it is proportional to the amount of water in the wood.

Unfortunately not only is heat lost boiling away the water, the resultant water vapour swirling

throughout the stove’s combustion chamber tends to restrict and cool the air supply mixing with the

burning gasses, causing them to extinguish prematurely, resulting in further wasted heat as well as

allowingtheunburnedgassestodepositsootandtarintheue.

Burning Rate.

All adjustments to the air supply should me made gradually and the burning rate is matched to the

availablefuel.Dramaticallyreducingtheairsupplywithoneadjustmentwillcertainlycausethere

stove is very hot, unburned gasses will not deposit their tars in the stove but they will be deposited

intheue.

becausethewoodwillheatwithinsufcientairtoburnandthetarswillevaporatefromthewoodto

Letting the stove “tick over” with only one or two logs sitting on the grate is a false economy, and

difculttomaintaincleancombustionwithastoveoperatingatlowtemperatures.Yourstoveismade

from cast iron which takes time to absorb and dissipate heat and so it will give almost constant

heatingwhenrunincyclesofsmalltomediumres.

Refuelling "little and often" will give the most visually satisfying stove, and until you gain the experience

in operating your stove it will be the simplest method of operation. Successfully burning large charges

of fuel is only possible when you understand the operation of your stove, the performance of your

ue,andthecharacteristicsofthewoodyouareburning.

Ash Removal

Choice of Logs.

Wood is described as being “hardwood” of “softwood”. Typically all broad leaf trees that lose their

leaves in the winter are called hardwoods, and the evergreen conifers are called softwoods. Whilst

thewood fromthetwo groupshavestructural differencesthetermsdo notdene thedensityor

hardness of the wood. Balsa, one of the softest and lightest of woods is classied as being a

hardwood and Hemlock, a softwood, is extremely hard.

The less density wood has, the more its structure is made up of open spaces meaning it will season

faster and because of these voids it will burn faster because it will expose more surface area as

itdisintegrates.Thismakeslightwoodssuitableforkindlingorarapidlydevelopingrebutunless

youenjoyputtingwoodontoareeveryfewminutesitisunsuitableforburningoverlongperiods.

Although there is a difference in the speed at which woods burn, equal weights of wood will give very

similar amounts of heat.

Because logs are concentric tubes of cells they season faster if they are split, halving the tubes and

allowing the moisture to evaporate more easily. Similarly it also allows the volatile gasses given off

when the wood is heated in a stove to be emitted along its full length rather than at the log’s ends.

This helps the gasses to be distributed more evenly within the stove and improves not only the

efciency,andemissionreductionofwoodburningbutgivesamoreattractivere.

Putting logs onto the re, bark side down and laying them, well spaced, in random orientation,

ratherthanuniformlyhorizontally,willalsohelptoincreasetheefciencyandattractivenessofthe

accommodate in all directions, allowing you to load wood in a “higgledy-piggledy” manner.

This stove has been designed as a wood only burning stove. Euroheat can supply a kit to convert the

stove to a multifuel stove suitable for burning mineral fuels such as anthracite, and other smokeless

coals.

Ash Removal

Becauseitisnotnecessary,nordesirable,tosupplyairtoawoodrethroughthegrate,itisonly

when the amount of ash above the grate becomes unsightly that ash removal becomes desirable.

Ash will, however, drop into the ash pan naturally and the ash pan should be checked periodically,

topreventashoverowingfromtheashpanintothestove.Carryinganoverowingashpanthrough

thehouseisbothmessyandarehazard.Theashpanwithdrawingtoolisnotdesignedasahandle

with which to carry the ashpan; use both hands and wear heat proof gloves. Leaving the ash door of

the stove open allows an uncontrolled air supply into the stove and may allow the stove to burn at

a rate beyond its design capability. Make it a practice never to leave this door open as no stove will

survive being made to glow cherry red.

Use the tool only to remove the

ash pan from the stove

E & OE Instructions Part number IN1160 Ed B

Cleaning the stove

Cleaning the Glass

Properly operated, your glass will remain clean, and any slight sooting which may occur when the

stove is lit will normally clear when the stove heats to its operating temperature. Before attempting to

clean your stove’s glass the stove must be extinguished and allowed to cool, as for safety reasons

it would be foolish to attempt cleaning when the stove is operating or still hot.

The glass in your stove is specially formulated to withstand the very high temperatures and proprietary

glass cleaners are not recommended as their compositions may contain chemicals that will weaken

or etch into the glass.

Newspaper moistened with water to which a little vinegar has been added will normally remove

moststaining,butforreallystubbornmarks,gentlepolishingwithnesteelwoollubricatedwith

a few drops of dish washing detergent will need to be employed. Great care must be taken not to

clean the glass too vigorously as particles of grit may have adhered with the stain and these could

cause scratching if dragged across the glass. However well the stove burns it will eventually become

necessary to clean the glass, but if cleaning becomes necessary too often we advise you to review

your operating procedures to determine whether cleaner and more efcient combustion can be

achieved.

The Stove Body

Dusting the stove may be carried out when the stove is at its minimum heat output temperature,

using light strokes of a real bristle paint brush. Thorough cleaning, or any attempt to remove marks

on the stove body must only be done when the stove is cold.

Stoveswithacastblacknishmustneverbecleanedwithaclothasthetextureofthesurfacewill

abrade and collect lint from the cloth which will be almost impossible to remove. Vigorous brushing

with a stiff bristle paint brush will remove all dust, but where the paint is marked, the stains are better

obliterated with a spray of suitable stove paint rather than attempts made to clean them off. Suitable

paint may be purchased from a stove shop or direct from Euroheat.

Replacing Glass and Glass Seals

When replacing glass always replace

glass seals. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the

holding clips. Stressed glass will crack.

Door handle adjustment

It is very important for correct operation that the furnace,

door (glass door) when closed is air tight. Your stove is

provided with an adjustable door latch. To adjust this latch,

loosen the locking nut and adjust the bolt as required.

Retighten the locking nut. The adjustment should be made

so that when the handle is in its closed position the door

is air tight.

The side and ashpit doors have a latch which is adjusted

by changing its alignment; an adjustable spanner is an

ideal tool for this operation.

For additional information on internal component

removal see Installation and Service Instructions.
