Curing the Stove
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and
commissioning checks described in the installation instructions have been carried
out correctly and that the chimney has been swept clean, is sound and free from
any obstructions. This curing process may have been undertaken by your installer
as part of the stoves’ commissioning and handover and the installer should have
shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
Your stove is made of a number of cast iron components and we recommended
that the first burn should be a small fire for about 30 minutes. This enables the
stresses and strains at the joints to be taken up and settle gradually. The second
burn can be a larger fire for an hour. During the curing process, the stove will
give off a pungent smell and some fumes. This is the paint curing and is quite
normal. Provide ventilation whilst this is happening since the fumes can be quite
strong and may set off smoke alarms in the room. The paint may become
slightly lighter in colour when the stove is cured, particularly in the hottest spots.
Fire
Grate polish can be used to keep the stove in good condition, or stove spray
paint can be used to re-touch the stove. The correct stove spray can be obtained
from your stove stockist.
Permanent air vent
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate
safely and efficiently. In accordance with current Building Regulations the
installer should have fitted a permanent air supply vent into the room in which
the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This air vent should not under
any circumstances be shut off or sealed.
Recommended Fuels
This appliance has obtained approval from HETAS Ltd., for burning the
following fuels – Manufactured and natural smokeless fuels, and wood
logs only.
The HETAS Ltd. Appliance approval only covers the use of the following
fuels in this appliance, – Manufactured and natural smokeless fuels,
and wood logs not exceeding 35cms in length. Approval does not cover
the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the suitable fuels
listed above, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels.
Although approval covers the use of the smokeless fuels listed, the
claimed rated output, has been obtained burning a single
representative smokeless fuel, under standard test conditions.
However, in the home, a variety of operating conditions can occur and
the performance of the appliance may vary to some degree with these
conditions and different fuels may need to be burnt at different rates to
provide the same heat output.
The recommended fuels are Wood logs no longer than 35cms (dry, seasoned for
a minimum of one year) and solid mineral fuels (e.g. Natural smokeless Fuels)
The larger briquettes are recommended as they concentrate less heat in one spot
reducing the likelihood of damage to the grate. Ask your local fuel merchant for
more details on these fuels.
