establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel. Allow
the new fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes
before adjusting the burn rate with the
air control to

installation and personal preferences will be established
by experience in using the cooker.

Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other
petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate and
product guarantee.
6. OVER-FIRING
6.1 Do not use the cooker at maximum output for
prolonged periods of time, or over fill the firebox with
fuel, as this could result in over-firing. If the connecting
fluepipe, appliance flue collar or top plate glow red with
heat the appliance is been over-fired and the air
controls should be closed to reduce the output.
6.2
If a chimney fire occurs shut all air controls immediately
to close the appliance down, and evacuate all persons
from the building before calling the fire brigade. Do not
re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe to do so.
6.3 Following a chimney fire do not use the appliance until
it is inspected, by a HETAS (GB only) registered
installer, to confirm that the appliance is safe to use, or
make any repairs required before re-use. Only genuine
Stovax replacement parts are to be used to k
eep your
appliance in safe and efficient working order
.
6.4 After any chimney fire it is recommended that the
chimney system be inspected and swept by a NACS
registered (UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that
the system is structurally sound and free from any
obstructions before re
-use.
7. OVEN TEMPERATURE
7
.1 The oven temperature may be adjusted by changing the
burn rate by turning the air control on the ashdoor, or
adding fuel to increase the temperature. As with all
solid fuel cookers the response to changes in control
settings may be slow, and the ideal method of operation
will be determined by experience.
8. SEASONAL USE
8.1 If the cooker is not to be used during the warmer
periods of the year it is recommended to clean and
service the cooker, as detailed.
8.2 The air controls should be set in the 50% position to
keep the appliance ventilated, and stop the build-up of
any moisture inside.
8.3 Before re-lighting the cooker clear any debris that may
have accumulated and check the flue is clear of any
blockages.
9. ASH REMOVAL
9.1 The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will
have to be removed after a period of use. This time will
depend on the fuel used. Before removing the ash from
the cook
er it is advisable to let the fire burn down to a
low level, or even go out completely
. The ashpan can be
removed from the cooker after opening the ashdoor.
