SLOW BURNING
Slow burning will cause the window glass to blacken
and can craze the glass this should not be used
for a long period. It should only be done after the
fire has been established and been running at
nominal output for a period of time. For a
prolonged slow burn, fill the firebox of fuel up to a
maximum height just below the top of the fire
fence at the front of the door opening. Push the
primary air control knob in to close the primary air
to the minimum setting and push the secondary air
control in to set the secondary air to the minimum
setting. Please refer to Page 4 items 6 & 7
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Your stove is provided with an ashpan. This ashpan
should be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the grate by overheating. We recommend
that you remove ashes after you have riddled the fire
when the stove is thoroughly cooled.
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-
combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled.
Open the firedoor and remove the ashpan using the
tool provided, see Fig 11. Close the firedoor. When
the ash is disposed of replace the ashpan.
Fig.11
REFUELLING
Before opening the door, open the primary air
control fully as this will help to eliminate any
smoke or fly ash resident in the combustion
chamber. Add fuel to fire, close fire door and adjust
the primary air control to the desired position.
