DOOR OPERATION
LIGHTING
Use the spanner type tool to open and close the doors. Turn
the knob on the right hand door anti-clockwise to open and
clockwise to close. When closing the doors do not push on
the enamel with the tool as this can chip the enamel, instead
push the doors on the door knobs. When the fire is alight,
avoid touching doors other than on the knobs as the metal will
become hot.
Place some paper and dry kindling wood or fire lighters on the
grate and cover with a small amount of fuel. Turn the
thermostat control knob to the maximum setting and light the
paper or fire lighters. Close the doors and allow the fire to
burn until the fuel is well ignited then load with more fuel and
adjust the thermostat to the required level.
On initial lighting, the fire 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. In the
meantime the room should be kept well ventilated.
Before relighting the fire, riddle, remove any clinker from the
firebed and empty the ashpan.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
SYSTEM CONTROLS
The rate of burning, and hence the output, is controlled by
the control knob on the left hand side of the appliance, shown
in Fig. 1. This is linked to a thermostat which controls the
boiler temperature. The number at the top of the knob is the
number at which it is set. Some experimentation may be
necessary to obtain the desired heat output.
There is also a manual secondary air control which is located
above the door opening as shown in Fig. 2. To adjust the
setting, open the doors and use the door opening tool to
move the flap to the desired position. This control should be
in the closed position when burning any of the recommended
smokeless fuels except for anthracite and homefire which
should be burnt with the secondary air inlet open.
The heating system controls may consist of time switches,
room thermostats, outdoor temperature thermostats and
thermostatic radiator valves in many different combinations.
These will work in conjunction with the thermostat control on
the appliance. The thermostat on the appliance will simply
control the temperature of the water coming from the boiler
and hence the temperature of the radiators and domestic hot
water. The automatic controls (other than thermostatic
radiator valves) will switch the pump (and hence the
radiators) on and off. Your installer will be able to explain the
controls fitted to your system and how to operate them.
