ESSENTIAL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE – It is essential to follow these ‘tempering-in’
instructions in order to avoid serious damage to your stove. The castings of your stove require
very gentle ‘normalising’ to release stresses in the metal formed during the casting process.
The paint finish also requires an initial curing process to be followed: -
For the initial tempering/ curing period, ensure the tertiary air inlet is set to MINIMUM, by
sliding the lever to the ‘Minus’ position. Set the Primary air to half position and secondary air to
half position. For the first 2 burns on day one just use small controlled kindling wood fires with
each fire lasting around 40 minutes – the second fire can be started when the stove is almost
cooled down after the first. A third slightly hotter medium type fire should then be lit using
smallish logs and lasting around 1 hour. Then for the next week or around 15-20 hours total
burn time, fires must be gently increased in temperature and log size and load and NO COAL
must be used during this period. A stove thermometer will be a valuable tool in helping you to
achieve this safely and also to ensure an efficient burn rate in future. Starting a large fire too
soon is likely to damage the stove in which case it will not be covered by the warranty. Note:
the paint on any new stove is relatively soft. As such do not clean, wash or
wipe the surface until the paint has fully cured. Never wipe the stove whilst warm. If the above
advice is ignored then there is a high risk of the paint being “shocked” by excessive heat and
could peel. Furthermore, if the stove is over fired it will invalidate your guarantee.
ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
LIGHTING THE FIRE, AND THAT YOU ARE CONFIDENT THE STOVE HAS BEEN INSTALLED
CORRECTLY.
ALWAYS WEAR A PROTECTIVE GLOVE WHEN REFUELLING YOUR STOVE.

-pan is in place. Ensure all air inlets are fully open (tertiary air should be closed
for first 3 burns)
-5 minutes as the fire starts to die, add a further three larger pieces of wood
weighing approx. 0.75kg in total.
up to 1.4kgs in total can be added (ONLY AFTER THE INITIAL TEMPERING PERIOD HAS BEEN
FOLLOWED – SEE ABOVE)
he Primary air vents can be closed, with the Secondary and
Tertiary vents left open.
