Warning:
The ash pan and content can be hot and must be store in a non- flammable
container away from flammable material then disposed of only when they are completely
cold and there no risk of causing a fire.
.
Lighting The Stove With Solid Fuel
Remove the H shaped woodburning plate if in place.
Lay a fire of sticks and paper, establish the fire and then add the appropriate smokeless fuel
and use the primary air control as the main control. If using a mixture of wood and coal,
balance the primary and secondary control to achieve the desired fire.
When using solid fuel in this stove you must only use fuels recommended for enclosed
appliances, Oil derivative fuels must not be used as this will shorten the life of the grate.
The Ash pan will need emptying once a day.
The stove will work best using the primary air control. It is unlikely you will need to use the
secondary air control which will only need to be opened slightly to keep the glass clear. With
suitable adjustment of the primary air control, a bed of smokeless fuel charged to the level of
the fire retaining bars should burn well for about 1.5 - 2 hours before the need to riddle the fire.
.
In the summer or when the stove is not being used for a long period of time, clear all the ash
out and leave primary and secondary air vents open to prevent condensation.
Please Note:
When lighting the stove for the first time the paint on the stove will cure and give off a metallic
smell. It is advisable to ventilate the room ie. open the windows. This will subside after the
stove has been burning hot for at least 2 hours.
The appliances have been assessed and are suitable for intermittent burning.
Operation
with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with
the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Pre-Season Check:
The chimney needs to be swept at least once a year.
The chimney must be checked at this stage for blockages before lighting i.e.: bird’s nests
This is probably the time to have the chimney swept before the beginning of the seasons.
Before lighting at the beginning of the season or after prolonged shutdown periods, check the
door seals are in good condition; the steel insulating plates/fire bricks are in good condition and
baffle plate is in position.
