position by moving the tool up until
the handle is in the 1 o'clock
position. The grate is put into the
wood position by moving the tool
down until the handle is in the
5 o'clock position. To riddle the
appliance when burning solid fuels
the tool should be moved between the
1 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions
several times. When burning wood or
peat the ash should be allowed to
build up and riddling should only be
carried out once or twice a week.

LIGHTING

The stove may be lit using dry
kindling wood and paper or fire
lighters. Set the grate into either the
wood position or the solid fuel
position as required. Place the paper,
or fire lighters, and kindling on the
grate and cover with approximately 2
inches of fuel. Open the air slides in
the doors and open the airwash
control fully (see fig. 1). Light the
paper or fire lighters. Close the doors
until the fuel is well ignited then load
with fuel and adjust the air controls
to the required setting.

On initial lighting, the stove may
smoke and give off an odour as the
silicon paint with which the firebox
is painted reacts to the heat. This is

normal and will cease after a short
time, but meanwhile the room should
be kept well ventilated.

At first only light a small fire and
burn it slowly for two hours to allow
any residual moisture in the bricks to
evaporate.

When relighting the stove, riddle (if
burning solid fuel), remove any
clinker from the firebed and then
empty the ashpan.

CONTROLLING THE

FIRE

The rate of burning and hence the
output is controlled by the door air
slides and the airwash control (see
Fig. 1).

The door airslides are used when
lighting and requiring rapid heating.
They may be left slightly open to help
keep the glass clean.

The airwash control is used most of
the time to control the burning rate
and to keep the glass clean. Fully
extended gives full airwash for faster
burning and clean glass whereas fully
closed gives slow overnight burning.
It will not be possible to keep the
glass clean if this control is fully
closed, particularly after refuelling.

RIDDLING

When burning solid fuels riddling
twice a day is usually sufficient.
When burning wood or peat, ash
should be allowed to build up and
generally weekly riddling will be
sufficient. The fire should be riddled
with the doors shut (see Fig 2.) Place
the tool onto the riddling lever and
rotate between the 1 o'clock and
3 o'clock positions several times. Too
much riddling can result in emptying
unburnt fuel into the ashpan and
should therefore be avoided. If any
clinker forms it should be removed
from the firebed. After riddling, the
grate should be put back into the
solid fuel or wood position as
required (the tool should be in the
1 o'clock position for solid fuel or in
the 5 o'clock position for wood).

REFUELLING

Keep the firebox well filled but do

not overfill to prevent fuel from
spilling over the top of the front fire
bars.

Care should be taken especially when
burning wood that fuel does not
project over the front fire bars or
damage to the glass may be caused
when the doors are closed, it can also
cause the glass to black up .

ASH CLEARANCE

The ashpan should be emptied
regularly before it becomes too full.
Never allow the ash to accumulate in
the ashpan so that it comes in contact
with the underside of the grate as this
will seriously damage the grate bars.
The ashpan is handled using the tool
provided. Care should be taken to
ensure that ash is cool before
emptying it into plastic liners or bins.

To make ash removal easier there is a
special Charnwood ash carrier
available. This may be purchased
from your supplier or, in case of
difficulty, from ourselves.

SPECIAL POINTS

WHEN BURNING

COAL

When loading the stove take care not
to smother the fire, instead fill the
firebox in two stages waiting between
each stage for the flames to appear
above the fire.

After a period of slumbering always
turn the air control up to maximum
and wait until flames appear above
the fuel bed before opening the doors.

Burning coal will produce more soot
deposits than other fuels, especially if
the fire is run at low levels for long
periods. It is therefore vital to clean
the throat plate regularly, weekly
cleaning is recommended.

Never fully close the Airwash control
when burning coal.

SPECIAL POINTS

WHEN BURNING

WOOD AND PEAT

The grate should be kept in the wood
burning position and should not be
riddled until the ash becomes so deep
