The air wash is achieved by air being drawn into the top of the stove and heated in a large air chamber before being directed down behind the large glass door creating a screen between the fire and the glass. Smoke or combustion particles do not come into contact with the glass, leaving it clean to see through.

For efficient woodburning the hot ‘airwash’ is directed down the stove door and into the heart of the wood fire, this ensures complete combustion which helps to keep the chimney clean. When the grate is in the closed position creating a flat base, this allows a deep bed of ash to build up - the optimum conditions for burning wood.

When burning coal and for easy lighting of the stove the grate is changed to the open position by a single turn of the handle. Air can then be directed under the open grate and into the heart of the fire - the optimum, conditions for burning solid fuel.

By simply moving the riddling tool up and down - which moves the grate open and closed - the stove riddles safely with the minimum of effort. This is undertaken with the doors closed and is completely dust free.

By reducing the air inflow to an absolute minimum, the fire will gently smoulder and remain alight throughout the night. When required, the fire will come to life by simply increasing the air flow into the stove.
