DRAUGHT CONDITIONS
If smoke spillage occurs when the firedoor is opened, it is probably due to poor chimney draught. This type of
stove requires at least 0.06” w.g. of chimney draught to achieve satisfactory combustion and smoke spillage
prevention. However, in cases where the stove door is opened too vigorously you could expect that slight
smoke spillage may occur.
If you have any doubts, you may want to have your installer measure the draught in the chimney.
The chimney’s draught is the resulting effect within the flue caused by the difference in temperature within the
flue and the cooler temperature outside. Other factors that can influence the level of draught include the length
of the flue, insulation of the chimney, adverse weather conditions, tall buildings or trees nearby the flue termi-
nal.

BILBERRY SOLID FUEL STOVES
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SUITABLE FUELS
COAL, ANTHRACITE, PEAT, WOOD SYNTHETIC LOGS, OR OTHER FUELS. “Never use gasoline” gasoline
type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or ‘freshen up’ a fire in this heater.
Keep all such liquid well away from the heater while in use. Operate stove only with fuelling door and ashpit
doors closed. This heater is hot whilst in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture a safe distance away.
The stove output levels are assessed on standard House Coals of good quality. Reduced outputs will result
when fuels of lower calorific values are used. Wood logs up to 406mm (16”) long are suitable.
All fuels should be stored under cover and kept as dry as possible prior to use.
NEVER BURN HOUSEHOLD RUBBISH OR ANY FORM OF PETROLEUM BASED COKE IN THIS STOVE.
USE
Odours on First Lighting of The Stove:
Painted stoves may emit an unpleasant odour when used for the first time. The room must be thoroughly ven-
tilated. (ie. it is recommended to open all windows in the room in which the appliance is fitted). Let the fire
burn with a high draught until all traces of the odour have dissipated and no smoke or smells can be detected.
AIR CONTROL
The amount of heat produced by the stove is regulated using three air controls. The primary air supply, where
air passes up through the riddling grate, is controlled using the spin valve, and the secondary air (airwash sys-
tem), which is supplied to the combustion over the glass and is controlled using the upper air control. A third
air inlet (normally named secondary air) provides a constant, pre-heated air supply to the combustion just above
the fire, it is controlled using the air control below the ash lip. This air supply doesn’t normally need to be reg-
ulated, however it is necessary to keep this air supply open always.
WARNING
ENSURE TOP BAFFLE IS CORRECTLY IN
PLACE BEFORE LIGHTING THE STOVE.
