OPTIONAL WOOD ASH REMOVAL GRATE
Wood can be burnt on the base. There is an optional wood ash
removal grate available for ash clearance only.
Tools required for fitting the wood ash removal grate:
10mm Spanner
Pozidriv screwdriver
Before fitting the wood ash removal grate (Fig. 1) remove the fuel
retainer and the wood ash retainer. The wood ash retainer is not
required when the wood ash removal grate is fitted.
Undo the nut on the blanking hole using a 10mm spanner. Remove
the cover and spacing washer (ensure you keep these in a safe place
as you will need to replace them if the riddling grate is removed).
Feed the riddler rod through the hole on the right hand side of the
stove, and slide one washer onto the rod (if there is not sufficient
room to the right of the stove to do this then remove the riddler
knob, fit one washer over the rod and then slide the rod through the
hole from the inside of the stove).
Feed the rod through the two side fireplates and slide the other
washer on to the rod so that the washers end up outside the two side
fireplates. With the side fireplates pushed together fit the retaining
clips so that the washers come inside the clips.
Slide the side fireplates apart so that they rest against the sides of the
firebox. Slot in the front and rear support plates.
Fit the grate plates into position through the front and rear grate
support plates, making sure they locate correctly onto the riddler
rod. Fit the fuel retainer. Slide the ashpan under the grate.
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Bembridge
Stove. Your stove has been approved in smoke control areas to burn
wood logs if it is used in accordance with these instructions. It is very
important that you read and understand these instructions before
using the stove.
FUEL
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out
correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
This stove has been designated to burn wood. Only dry well seasoned
wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned
wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and
within the chimney. For the same reason hard woods (such as Ash,
Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods (such as Pine and
Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in
considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and
then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year
but preferably two years before use. Approximate suitable log sizes
are:
305mm(12in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste.
For advice on other fuels please contact Charnwood.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
