5.7 When the fire becomes established reduce the Airwash air
control to approximately 25% open and control the burn
rate using the Primary air control only.
5.8 De-ash the fire bed before re-fuelling, see Ash Removal,
Section 7.
• Open the Primary air control fully to establish a glowing
bed before adding new fuel
• Burn new fuel at high output for a few minutes before
adjusting the Primary air control to the desired setting
• Refuel little and often for clean, efficient burning.
5.9 Experience establishes control settings to suit personal
preferences
5.10 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Primary Air
Control on low settings for long periods of time. This
reduces the glass cleaning effect of the air wash and causes
tars and creosotes to build-up in the appliance and flue
system.
5.11 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
5.12 You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels
suitable for use in closed appliances .
5.13 Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels as this invalidates the product
guarantee .
Do not load fuel above the log guard and the secondary
combustion inlets at the back of the firebox.
See Diagram 7

• Wood burns best on a bed of ash
• Rake the embers evenly over the fire bed and open the
Airwash control fully for a few minutes before re-fuelling
5.2 Burn new logs at high output for a few minutes before

clean, efficient burning.

5.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Airwash control
closed for long periods of time. This reduces the glass
cleaning effect and causes tars and creosotes to build-up in
the appliance and flue system.
5.5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a
short period also reduces tars and creosote.
