Wood
Use only seasoned timber with a moisture content of less than 20%. Typically this
means wood which has been cut and stored in an open dry shelter for between one
and two years. Logs up to a maximum length of 200mm (8 inches) are suitable for
use in the Range.
DO NOT BURN wet or unseasoned wood, construction timber, painted or treated
wood, driftwood or manufactured board products. Doing so will result in the wood
burning inefficiently and excess smoke, soot and tar will be produced. This will coat
and damage the internal components of the Range and flue and could result in a
chimney fire.
Solid Fuel
Use only Anthracite or manufactured smokeless fuel listed as suitable for use on
closed heating appliances.
DO NOT BURN bituminous coal, any petroleum based products or any liquid fuels.

Before lighting ………
If using for the first time, or following a long period out of use check that the flue is
clear and unobstructed.
Check that the riddling control is free to move and is pushed fully in towards the
Range.
Check that the ash pan is empty, in position and the ash pan door is closed
During the first few times the Range is used, the heat resistant paint will be curing,
and may give off small amounts of smoke and odours. This is completely normal for
this type of appliance, and the room should be well ventilated.
To aid this process and prevent damage to the Range finish, the first few times a
new Range is used the fire should be kept to a moderate size, and not fired
vigorously.
