Fig.4 Adding larger logs – air setting fully out
More logs added to fire
Larger logs can be added once the fire is well established.
Once long flames appear over the fire reduce the air setting to 3. We
normally anticipate running the fire at this setting for at least the first
hour if starting the Tor from cold.
Once the fire is well established – with each log alight at the top the
air setting can be reduced to 2 or lower according to the type of fire
required. If at any setting the flames start to go out or the glass
begins to discolour, then this indicates that a higher setting is
required. To achieve this pull the air control out to re-establish a
consistent burn.
If more logs are added to a fire that is still going it is recommended
that the control setting be increased to at least control setting 3.
If however the fire has died down then it is recommended that the
Fig.5 Fire well under way – reduce air setting to 3
Fig.6 Fire fully established – reduce air setting to 2 or lower
Adding more logs – building up the fire again
control setting is pulled out to be fully open.
If new logs are added to a fire and the fire dies then smoke will
always result and so if this happens open the air control fully.
Keep the firebox well filled but do not overfill to prevent fuel from
spilling over the top of the front or side fire bars. Logs should be
evenly distributed across the fire bed to give the most pleasing flame
pattern and logs should be placed in the grate aligned from front to
back.
If the fire has died down, then kindling wood should be added and
the air control opened fully to establish the firebed before adding
larger logs.
Care should be taken that wood does not project over the front fire
bar or damage to the glass may be caused when the door is closed, it
can also cause the glass to black up.
The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will
withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may be
cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should re-
painting become necessary then special high temperature paints are
available from your supplier or from Charnwood.
The glass in the door is a special ceramic glass which is able to
withstand high temperatures. Before cleaning the glass open the
door and allow it to cool. Clean the glass using a damp cloth and then
wipe over with a dry cloth. Any stubborn deposits on the glass may
be removed with a proprietary stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob
cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads as these can scratch the
REFUELLING
Maximum filling height is half
way up the firebox. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this stove.

Glass
Under recommended running condition the glass should remain
quite clean, but should film develop on the glass, it can be easily
removed by wiping the glass with a damp cloth or tissue when the
stove is cold.
For correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe
thermometer which may be purchased from your supplier or from
Charnwood.
