LIGHTING
Check that all dampers and catches are operating
correctly and ensure that all flue connections are
thoroughly sealed. Open the spin valve.
PRIMARY AIR SETTINGS
The spin valve (Part No. 30, located at the bottom
end of the door - Part No. 14) controls the primary
and window wash air supply to the stove. For max-
imum heat output and burn rate rotate the spin valve
(Part No. 30) fully in an anti-clockwise direction and
for a minimum heat output and burn rate rotate the
spin valve clockwise until fully closed. For nominal
heat output the spin wheel will need to be open
between 1 and 2 turns depending upon the draught
of the chimney. You will soon learn spin valve set-
tings to best suit your requirements. (See Fig.6)

RE-FUELLING
Riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove, then gently pull and push the
rocker arm until all dead ash has fallen through into
the ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin
valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to
eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-
bustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to
overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not
operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See
Fig.7)
RECOMMENDED FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned
wood logs and manufactured briquetted smokeless
fuel (Ancit) for closed appliances, sized between
20g and 140g. Other fuels are commercially avail-
able and may give similar results. Do not use fuels
with a coke ingredient as this may cause the grate to
overheat, causing damage. Reduced outputs will
result when fuels of lower calorific values are used.
All fuels should be stored under cover and kept as
dry as possible prior to use.

OVERNIGHT BURNING
To achieve an overnight or a slow burn rate, close
the spin valve fully, then open about half a turn, or
less, depending on draught conditions. If the fuel
load is too small or the draught too strong the spin
valve may need to be closed even further to sustain
the low burn rate. This will be found by trial and
error by adjusting the amount of air depending upon
the amount of fuel left over at the end of the burning
period.
