COUNTRY KILN WOOD BURNING STOVES AND MULTI FUEL STOVES USER INSTRUCTIONS

First bolt the legs on, remember only ever to hand tightened any bolts when dealing with cast iron which can split if you try to tightened too heavily.

A generous amount of ready made fire cement is then spread round both flue outlets. The flue connector and blanking plate are then screwed in position. Wipe away the excess cement. Move the stove into the position you require. NEVER DRAG THE WOOD STOVES OR YOU WILL BREAK THE WOOD BURNING STOVES LEGS OR POSSIBLY LOOSEN THE TOP. Spread a liberal amount of fire cement round the inside or outside of the flue connector and place the flue in position. Light your fire, this will dry the cement.

With the Adorne, Aurora, Country Kiln, Celtic Kiln and La Fille multi fuel stoves and wood burning stoves you will have an extra internal plate. This is the smoke deflector & removeable baffle/throat plate. This should be placed in the body of the wood stoves at a 45 degree angle from centre back rising to just above the door. You will find 4 notches inside your wood stoves on which this plate sits upon.

Correctly used stoves, wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves must undergo a period of running in, this is to season the cast so the cast does not expand too quickly. In correctly used stoves first light small but not excessively warm fires for the first week gradually increasing the burning over that period. If you are burning mainly wood leave in the multi fuel grate but keep the airflow controls at the bottom of the stoves closed, being open causes too much draw which will cause the  wood to burn too quickly. If burning mainly coal leave in the multi fuel grate but have the airflow controls on the stoves open for draw. The best wood to use is dry seasoned wood, although it is not advisable to use unseasoned wood or the pallet you get with delivery, many people do.

In correctly used stoves the fire is controlled by air vents. For faster burning open these as this draws in air. For slower burning close these. The stoves heat to very high temperature during firing. Do not touch with the naked hand. Do not over fire the stove.

Each stove has a kilowatt rating. That is the approximate maximum temperature the casting is able to cope with. It has nothing to do with the heat production which depends on what fuel you use and how much of it you use. If you require less heat burn a smaller fire using less wood, coal or fuel. If you build too large and warm a fire and your wood stoves starts to go too warm by way of white or red hot spray the fire down with a plant spray and close the air vents. Open air vents result in faster burning, closed air vents cause a slower burn. The airwash vents are at the top and best half open once the fire has matured. Fiddle to avoid smoke omissions, as each chimney is different. and weather can also changes draw.

For overnight burning in correctly used stoves close all the air flow dials and dampen the fire down by covering it with a coating of coal dust or dross. Overnight burning is a skill which has to be developed over time. Some people never manage to learn this skill, others pick it up within about a month. For those who have never tended or lit fires before it does take about a month to get good fire lighting and tending skills.

Over the course of a correctly used stoves life you will require to engage in some basic maintenance. This will be cleaning the glass which is best done with water and vinegar or with oven cleaner like Fairy Power Spray. You may need to re-seal the joints with fire cement, you may choose to blacken it either with stove black, boot polish or high temperature paint. You will also require to replace the stove rope or re-stick the existing rope. This is done with stove rope glue. You may also require to fit new glass. When fitting glass the screws must only be hand tight or you may crack your replacement glass or cast glass holder.

If your multi fuel stoves have a spark guard, the wire mesh section has two hooks which sit on the lip of the base at the door. The L shape bracket goes through the mesh, you then attach the cast iron knob with two nuts. This is the handle which twists the guard off and on the stove.

Should you not be confident with these instructions and are unsure of the correct way to install and maintain these wood burning stoves and multi fuel stoves we recommend you employ an experienced installer. Correctly used stoves should be installed to correspond with Building Regs Section J England and Wales and Section L Scotland
