Bottom grate
Two types of bottom grate are supplied in our stoves: rotary style and grid style. For rotary
style grate, you can operate it by dragging stainless steel rod forward and backward to
de-ash. For grid style grate, a special hook is supplied to de-ash. It is highly
recommended to de-ash regularly as any build-up of ash will damage the cast iron fuel
bed. You should be careful of hot parts of the appliance in operation.
Ash pan
You should clean up the ash pan regularly. Please use the supplied ash pan tool to
remove the ash pan out of the stove. Please exercise caution during this process.
On Solid mineral fuels
When placing solid mineral fuels on the fuel bed, for safety, please do not exceed an
incline of more than 30
o
maximum from front to back. The height of loading fuels must not
exceed the rear cast iron lining.
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will approximately 4 hours. We suggest you
refuel in time so as to maintain the best possible results. When using solid mineral fuels,
we suggest you keep the secondary air control in the closed position to maintain
maximum efficiency. In this case the primary air controls can be adjusted to change the
burning rate of the appliance.
In order to prevent the ash from being stacked to the underside of the bottom grate,
please always de-ash before refueling. Once the ash builds up, it may restrict the airflow
and causes the fire to burnout.
Important - It is very important to empty the ash pan regularly. If the ash builds up the
underside of the grate it can burnout or distortion the grate.
On Wood fuels
The refueling intervals at nominal heat output will approximately 1.5 hours. You may load
wood higher in the stove than when using solid mineral fuel but wood or logs are not
permitted to touch the baffle plate.
When using wood fuels, we suggest you keep the primary air control in the closed position,
which can burn in maximum efficiency. At this time the secondary air controls can adjust
the burn rate of the appliance.
Wood burns best with a layer of ash on fuel bed, and care should be taken to only remove
surplus residue from the stove.
We recommend you only use dry, seasoned wood as fuels; the wood should have been
cut, split and stacked for at least one year in circulating air surround to dry out. Otherwise,
