6.3 Air inlets puffing smoke  
• This position gives full heat out put for burning solid fuel  
but may discolour the glass, Diagram 13.  
Combustion gases build up in the firebox and ignite as small  
explosions, causing smoke to puff out of the air inlets and  
other openings. This occurs if the air controls are shut soon  
after adding new fuel to a very hot fire. Stop by opening the  
air controls to increase combustion air and burning rate.  
5.4 Do not burn large amounts of fuel with the Control on  
low settings for long periods of time. This reduces the glass  
cleaning effect of the airwash and causes tars and creosotes  
to build-up in the appliance and flue system.  
6.4 Flue draught  
5.5 When in use, burning the appliance at high output for a  
short period day also reduces tars and creosote.  
The chimney has two main functions:  
1) To safely remove the smoke, gases and fumes from the  
house.  
2) To provide a sufficient amount of draught (suction) in the  
appliance ensuring the fire keeps burning.  
Draught is caused by the rising hot air in the chimney when  
the appliance is lit.  
5.6 You must burn only anthracite or smokeless fuels  
suitable for use in closed appliances.  
5.7 do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-cokeor 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  
Symptoms of poor performance related to flue draught  
include:  
Excessive fuel consumption (high flue draught)  
Poor burning control, overheating (high flue draught)  
Wind noise from air controls (high flue draught)  
6. BURNING TIPs  
Difficulty getting a fire going and keeping it burning well  
6.1 Fuel Quality (Wood)  
(low flue draught)  
Use wood with a moisture content of less than 20%.  
Seasoned logs have the bark beginning to lift and peel away  
and cracks radiating from the centre. They feel lighter than  
fresh cut wood of a similar size and sound hollow when  
struck against each other. Logs should not feel damp or  
have moss and fungal growths.  
Low heat output (low flue draught)  
Smoke entering room when doors opened (low flue  
draught)  
The construction, position, size and height of the chimney  
all affect the performance of the flue draught.  
Symptoms related to wet wood:  
Difficulty starting and keeping a fire burning well  
Smoke and small flames  
Other factors effecting the flue draught include:  
Trees or other buildings nearby causing turbulence  
High and gusty winds  
Dirty glass and/or firebricks  
Outside temperature  
Rapid creosote build-up in the chimney  
Low heat output  
Short burn times, excessive fuel consumption and  
blue/grey smoke from the chimney  
Outside weather conditions  
Incorrect additional ventilation to building  
Blocked flue / chimney  
For advice on the correction of persistent flue problems  
consult a qualified solid fuel heating engineer before  
continuing to use the appliance.  
Burn at high output for a short period each day to avoid  
large build-ups of tars and creosote within the appliance  
and the flue system  
Use Stovax Protector chimney cleaner to reduce this  
problem  
6.5 Weather conditions  
The weather conditions outside the building can effect the  
burning performance of the appliance. These could include:  
6.2 Fuel Quality (solid Fuel)

12.2 do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:  
15. CHIMNeY sWeePING  
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer,  
15.1 To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance the  
chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a  
year by a qualified chimney sweep.*  
confirming the appliance is safe to use*  
b) The chimney system inspected and swept by a chimney  
sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound and free  
from obstruction before re-use.**  
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year  
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent  
sweeping is recommended.  
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only  
genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep your appliance in  
safe and efficient working order.  
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of  
the heating season.  
13. GeNeRAl CleANING  
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.  
13.1 Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns:  
• Clean regularly, according to the level of use  
15.2 The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance  
flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.  
• Give attention to the baffle system, flue ways and  
removing ash  
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help give many years  
of safe use.  
• Clean matt black appliances using Stovax Collodial black  
or Stovax Grate Polish  
15.3 Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not  
possible to sweep through the chimney.

18.4 Appliance is producing tar:  
Your retailer can provide genuine spare parts such as replacement  
glass, door sealing rope and fire bricks when required. An annual  
service by a competent engineer is recommended to keep your  
appliance in best possible condition.  
This is identified by:  
• A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is  
lit and heats up  
• Glass blackening  
17. seAsoNAl Use  
• Thick, brown and sticky tar oozes from the pipe joints  
This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your  
appliance at too low a temperature;  
• Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance in the  
ideal temperature range  
17.1 Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the  
warmer periods of the year as detailed in the Maintenance  
and Servicing section  
17.2 Set the air controls 50% open to keep the appliance  
ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.  
Tar is a major cause of chimney fires - if you experience  
problems with tar build up consult a chimney sweep before  
continued use of your appliance.  
17.3 Before re-lighting the appliance:  
• Remove the baffles  
Ideal working temperature range is 130°C and 240°C  
(270°F – 465°F). Failing to close down the primary air  
control once the appliance has heated up to this range  
may cause the appliance to over-fire and to exceed the  
ideal temperature range. Over-firing can cause permanent  
damage to the appliance and invalidates your warranty.  
• Clear any debris that may have accumulated  
• Check the flue is clear of any blockages  
18. TRoUBlesHooTING TIPs  
18.1 stove glass blackening:  
This has four possible causes:  
1.  
Incorrect use of airwash See Sections 1, 4 and 5 for the  
correct use of the air controls.  
2.  
3.  
Burning unseasoned wood See Section 3 to identify  
when wood is ready for burning.  
stove operated at too low a temperature - good working  
temperature is 300-500° F (120 – 250° C). A stove pipe  
thermometer can identify this problem (Stovax part no  
3046)  
• Burn with the airwash control fully open for  
approximately 20 minutes to cure this  
The problem may be caused by damping your appliance  
down overnight.  
4.  
Problems with the flue – in particular insufficient air pull.  
If the flue is not working efficiently the glass can blacken.  
A flue which has too much downdraft may be too short or  
needs lining or has too many bends. This can also cause  
blackening of your stove glass. Contact the installer or a flue  
specialist for advice.  
18.2 Riddling mechanism jamming:  
This occurs when fine ash builds up under the riddling bars  
preventing movement. To prevent this:  
• Follow a regular cleaning routine for the inside of your  
appliance  
• Lift out the riddling mechanism and remove all ash  
• Replace riddling mechanism when cleaning is complete  
18.3 Glass cracking:  
Do not over tighten the screws on the glass clips when  
replacing the glass as this causes stress and the intense  
temperature changes can cause the glass to crack. For  
replacement glass contact your local Stovax dealer.
