GRAND CUISINE & CD MODELS
GRAND CUISINE
The operation of the Grand Cuisine is the same as
the Supreme with the exception of the additional
damper dilution control on the front left hand side.
The following simple rules will allow you to achieve
different oven temperatures. Once a good fire has
been established the following control positions
will allow you to obtain varying temperatures
between the ovens.
1. With a good fire burning close the left damper-
dilution and right damper knobs. (The separate
right hand dilution knob should also be
closed). In this position the right hand top
oven will be the hottest, the left hand top will
be the second hottest, right hand bottom will
be the third hottest, and the left hand bottom
the fourth hottest.
2. With the left hand damper-dilution knob open
and right hand damper knob closed the top
two ovens will be at a similar temperature and
the bottom two ovens will also be about the
same temperature.
NOTE: This is also the position for Wok
Cooking. (Remove round hotplate if required).
3. For overnight burn close left hand damper-
dilution and right hand damper knobs. Right
hand dilution control may be opened for
extended burn times, if required, as per
instructions on Page 5.
NOTE: As a guide, the small oven usually runs
between 80 and 100 degrees less than the
top oven.
C.D. MODELS:
The operation of the Supreme
CD and Grand Cuisine CD is the same as for the
standard cooker except the CD has an additional air
intake spin wheel located between the firebox door
and the ashpan door. The extra air intake located
in this position gives greater fire temperatures
required for hydronic central heating cookers.
The Supreme and Grand Cuisine CD has three air
intakes, each controlled by a SPIN WHEEL, one on
the ashpan door, one on the firebox door and one
between the two doors.
NOTE: The top spin wheel should be kept
closed during normal operation in most
installation situations.
Set and light the fire as per earlier instructions.
Have all three spin wheels open and flue damper
control open. As fire becomes established close spin
wheels from top to bottom (ie close firebox spin
wheel first, centre spin wheel second and ashpan
spin wheel last), until you maintain the desired fire
temperature. To increase fire temperature open
spin wheel from bottom to top.
Hydronic Central Heating is the most wonderful
form of home heating. To achieve the best results
you should think of your cooker as a heater.
You will need to refuel your CD more frequently
and maintain a higher fire to keep your central
heating temperatures up, than would be needed
in a normal domestic cooker.
REMEMBER
* Rake grate and clean ashpan out regularly.
(Ash rake and a combined spin wheel ashpan
tool is provided).
* Avoid wet or green wood – these will cause
maintenance problems in any cooker or boiler.
* Briquettes or coal may be used in all the
Dynamic & C.D. Boiler and will give good
overnight operating temperatures.
* Check and clean flues and smokeways at least
every 6 months.
* A hot fire burning slowly produces little or
no smoke. A cold fire smouldering produces
maximum smoke.
“THERMABLEND” LONG LIFE INHIBITOR
** Check rust inhibitor every 6 months or
after any major boiling or water loss. The
boiler is made of mild steel and will give
years of trouble free operation providing
anti-rust and if required hardness
conditioner levels are maintained. If water
supply is acidic add sodium bicarbonate
(cooking soda) - ask your dealer.
