RE-FUELLING
When refuelling, using the glove provided open the
door slowly to avoid drawing smoke from the fire,
always refuel onto a bed of glowing embers and rid-
dle gently if necessary. Adjust the air control to the
central position and fully pushed in for approximate-
ly 3 minutes allowing the new refuel charge to estab-
lish combustion before adjusting the air control to
the desired setting.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed
to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emis-
sion can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto
a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that
the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable peri-
od. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add
suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of wood:-
Ellesmere 4 kW - 1.2 kilograms per hour
Ellesmere 5kW - 1.4 Kilograms per hour
Ellesmere 6kW - 1.6 Kilograms per hour
should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess
smoke. The appliance must not be operated with
the appliance door left open except as directed in
the instructions.
Fig.9
RIDDLING
Riddle the fire by connecting the hexagon end of the
operating tool into the riddling tool socket located on
the left side of the stove. While keeping the tool
pushed in, rotate in a circular motion which will
cause the individual grate castings to rise and fall
dislodging the ash into the ashpan. See Fig.9
Remember to reset the controls after refuelling.
DAMPERS / AIR CONTROLS LEFT OPEN
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers
open can cause excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls, appliance
dampers or door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
DE-ASHING
NOTE - DO NOT OVERFILL THE FIREBOX
Never allow the ashpan to fill more than half way as
it will cause damage to the grate. Empty the ashpan
before lighting. Always ensure that ashes have thor-
oughly cooled before removing the ashpan. Open
the fire door and remove ashpan using the glove
provided. Close the fire door. When the ash is dis-
posed of, replace the empty ashpan. Do not leave
the fire unattended with the fire door open, even for
a minute. See Fig.10
DISPOSAL OF ASH
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be on a non-combustible floor or on the ground well
away from all combustible materials pending final
disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in
soil or other wise locally dispersed they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.
WARNING - NEVER DISPOSE OF ASH WHEN
STOVE IS LIGHTING.
IMPORTANT - DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THE
FIREBED AND GRATE ASSEMBLY IF THE ASH-
PAN IS LEFT TO OVER FILL.
