WOODSELECTION
Fewthingsaffecttheperformanceofyourheaterasmuchasthefuelyouburn.Takenoteofthe
following:
WhatNotToBurn
* Softwood(exceptkindling)
* Wetorunseasonedwood
* Treatedorpaintedtimber
* Saltwaterwood
* Coalorcharcoal
* Garbage,plasticetc
* Any solvents, kerosene, petrol or any
flammableliquid.
WhatToBurn
Quitesimply,dryseasonedhardwood.
Fromwhenwoodisfirstcutdown,ittakesup
to12monthsofdrystorageforthewoodto
seasonproperly. The seasoningprocess is
underwaywhencracksbegintoappearatthe
endsofcuttimber.
Useofmoistorunseasonedwoodwillresult
inexcessivesmoke,longerstartuptimes,a
lazyflamethatrequiresmoreairtostayalight,
creosotebuildupintheflueandonthedoor
glass, and a much less powerful fire. The
reasonissimple.Heatthatwouldnormallybe
goingintotheroomiswastedboilingwater
that is trapped inside the wood. This poor
performancecostsyoumoneyinwastedfuel
andincreasedmaintenance.
Itisdifficulttodetermineifwoodisdryjustby
looking atit.Ifyoucanhearthewoodsizzle
andhiss,orcanseemoisturebubblingfrom
thewoodsurface,thenyourwoodistoowet.
Inpractice,thebestthingyoucandoistobe
sure of the source. Buy your wood from
reputable wood merchants. Make sure you
storethewoodcorrectly.
WoodStorage
It is important that wood be stored under
cover.Evenwoodthatisyearsoldwillabsorb
largequantitiesofmoistureifexposedtothe
elements.
Itisadvisablethatwoodisstackedtoallow
someairflowinandaroundthelogs.Thiswill
helpkeepthewooddry.
WoodSplitting
Itis bestto have onhand agoodrange of
woodsizestohelpcontrolthefire.Theruleof
thumbis:thehotterthefire,thebiggerthelog
youcanputin.
* Youneedverysmallpiecesofkindling to
getthefirestartedefficiently.

USINGYOURHEATER
Beforeusingyourwoodheater,studythisentiresectioncarefully. Itwillassistyouinachieving
maximumefficiencyandenjoyment.
CuringthePaint
Various parts of your heat er have been
coatedwithhighqualitypaintstoprotectthem
andtogivethemanattractivefinish.Youwill
needtobreak-inyourheatertohardenor
curethesecoatings.
While curing, be careful not to touch the
paintedsurfacesasthepaintwillbequitesoft.
The basic rule is: cure slowly, over about
three burns, without a hot fire. During the
curingprocessitisnormalforsomesmoke
andsmell tobegivenofffromthesurfaceof
theheater.Eachtime,somewindowsshould
be opened to allow the paint  odours to
escape.Usingafanalsohelpsdispersethe
odours.Forthisreasonitisbestdoneduring
theday.
1.Thefirst fireshould bekindlingonly and
should last for about 20 minutes. Leave
thedoorslightlyajartostopthedoorrope
fromsticking.
2.Oncetheheaterhascooleddown,repeat
theprocess.
3.Thethird fireshouldbeanormalfireofat
least45minutes.
Bythistime,yourheatershouldbecured.In
colderconditions,oriftheheaterusesafan,it
maytakeslightlylonger.Thehouseshouldbe
ventilateduntilallodoursaregone.
OperatingTheAirControl
Youcancontrolwhetheryourheaterburnson
highorlowwiththeaircontrolleverfoundon
either the front or the side of the heater,
dependingonthemodel.Thehighandlow
positionsareclearlymarkedonallmodels.
For low burns - U se this setting for low
burning,orforextendedburntimes.
Formediumburns-Thisistheoptimalsetting
fornormaluse.
Forhighburns-Usethissettingforstarting
the fire and for at least 30 minutes after
loadingandreloading.
LightingTheFire
Woodburnsmostefficientlywhenplacedina

tobringyourfireboxtotherighttemperature
asquicklyaspossible.

eachpieceofkindling.
Add afewsmallpiecesofwoodontop.The
fireboxshouldbeabouthalffulloffuel.
Ignitethefirelighter.
Continuetoaddsmallpiecesofwooduntila
bedofhotglowingcoalsisestablished.
Placetwoor threethoroughlydrysplitlogs
(about 80 -100mm diameter) on the  well
establishedfire.Logswillburnbetterifthey
areplacedwiththeirendsneartheglass,ie
fronttoback.
Leave the air control on high for about 30
minutes.Afterthistime,thefireboxshouldbe
hotenoughfornormaloperation,soyoucan
turndowntomediumorlow.
Adding fresh wood cools the fire down, so
whenyouneedtoreplenishthefuel,turnthe
air control to high for about 30 minutes to
bring the firebox temperatures back up to
normal
Always leave the air control on high for at
least30minutesafterreloading.
AFewHints
Woodshouldbestackedfronttoback-with
the ends facing the door - and with space
betweenthemforairtoflowaround.
Thedoor should remainclosed atall times
except when first establishing the fire and
whenloading.
There are many factors that can affect the

CAREANDMAINTENANCE
Your heater has been designed as a heavy duty appliance capable of withstanding normal
operatingconditions.
Care
Thefireboxlinerswherefittedmustbetreated
withcare.Avoidthrowinglogsintothefirebox
asthismayfracturetheliners.
Cleaning
Paintedsurfaces:tocleanpaintedsurfaces,
wipeoverwithasoft,dampcloth.Donotuse
harshsolventsandcleaningagentsasthese
candamagethecoating.Buffdrywithasoft,
drycloth.
If your heater is installed in a coastal
env ironment, where salt air will come in
contactwiththeheater,thiscleaningprocess
shouldbeperformedweeklytoavoidthesalt
causing deterioration of the paint and
subsequentlyrust.
Door glass: sometimes black deposits will
buildupontheinsideofthedoorglass.To
removethisbuildup,rubgentlywithaplastic
scourer pad moistened with water and
detergent.Thenusethedampanddrycloths
asbefore.Hotglasscleanerisalsoavailable
fromyourheaterretailer.
RoutineMaintenanceSchedule
Atbeginningoftheseasonandatleastevery

* Inspectandcleanthefluesystem.Todo
this,removethebaffleplateandfluecowl,
andcleanoutwithafluebrush.
* Checkthepaintedsurfaces.Ifthereisany
wear, for instance from cleaning or
abrasion,touchuppaintisavailablefrom
yourdealer.
Atendofseason
* Inspectthedoorglassforanycracksand

CreosoteBuildUp
When the heater is continually burnt with
lowerthannormalfiretemperatures,egdue
tounseasonedwood,higherthanacceptable
amounts of smoke are produced which
condenseontheinsideoftheflue.Thisbuilds
upasablack,tar-likedepositcalledcreosote.
A thin layer of creosote inside the flue is
normalandwillnotcauseaproblem.Once
there is a layer more than 3mm thick,
problemscanoccur.
1.Ifthelayeristhickenough,itrestrictsthe
flueandcancauseinsufficientdrawand
evensmokespillagebackintothehouse.
2. More seriously, creosote is combustible,
andcanignite.Afluefireiseasytodetect,
involving a roaring sound, a vibration of
the flue, and sometimes flames and
sparksshootoutofthetopoftheflue.
Toavoidcreosotebuildupandthefiresthat
mayresult,burnseasonedwoodwiththeair
controlsettomediumorhighformostofthe
time.
Toremovecreosote whenitdoesbuildup,
removethebaffleplateandfluecowl,anduse
a flue brush to clean the flue system. To
removethebaffleplate,slidetheplateupon
onesideandthendownaroundthebrackets
ontheother.
Incaseofafluefire,donotpanic.Yourflue
