hotter and so is used for boiling and the right side for simmering. The oven door
and the fire door are opened by lifting the handle either manually or using the
Operating Tool provided.
The oven and hotplate are heated directly by the fire. In order to heat up the

the hot fumes from the fire to circulate around the inner cavity between the
cook stove and the oven thus heating up both the hotplate and the oven.
The bolster lids can be left down when the not in use, in order to keep the
hotplate warm. In the up position they will allow more heat into the room.
To reduce the heat going to the oven when the cook stove is up and running,
the oven damper knob can be turned counter-clockwise. This will allow the hot
fumes to escape directly up the chimney via the boiling side of the hotplate, thus
reducing the heat to the oven but maintaining a hot hotplate.

only a small amount of fuel. To reduce the effective size of the firebox, the fuel
