WOOD ASH REMOVAL GRATE
Your Charnwood Island II - BP is fitted with a wood ash removal
grate to enable wood to be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate
has two positions:
1) In the open position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in
between allowing the primary combustion air to come up through
the grate and through the fuel bed.
2) In the closed position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the
combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top
of it. When in the closed position ash is able to build up on the grate
as is necessary for effective wood burning.
Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected
using the operation tool supplied as shown in Fig.3.
The grate is put into the open position by turning the operation tool
anticlockwise. The grate is put into the closed position by turning
the operation tool clockwise. When burning wood ensure that the
selector slider is pushed fully back (Fig.2) To riddle the appliance
the tool should be moved between the clockwise and anticlockwise
positions several times. When burning wood the ash should be
allowed to build up and riddling should only be carried out once or
twice a week.

RIDDLING
When burning wood, ash should be allowed to build up and only
riddled when the ash begins to cover the rear fireplate. The fire
should be riddled with the door shut (see Fig.2). Place the operating
tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the open and closed
positions several times. Too much riddling can result in emptying
unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be avoided. After
riddling, the grate should be put back into the closed position for
burning wood.

REFUELLING
Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.
Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to
refuel on to a hot bed of embers. If at this point the fire starts to die,
the door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has
started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must
