Overnight Burning
As with the settings required to achieve certain oven temperatures, a little bit of practice will be
required to determine the control settings required to achieve an overnight burn. The following
guideline procedure will help to determine what control settings are required with the spin valve &
oven damper adjusted as required:
1.
With the fire established, open the spin valve a quarter of a turn.
2.
Close the oven damper to a quarter of its maximum opening.
3.
Lightly riddle the bottom grate (see Figure 3.5) and re-fuel until the firebox is full.
4.
In the morning, open the spin valve and oven damper.
5.
Lightly riddle the bottom grate and when the fire is burning well, add fuel as required.

Flue Cleaning
It is recommended that the flue pathways are cleaned thoroughly once a week starting off and this
period can then be extended depending on the level of soot deposits removed and the level of usage.
It is recommended that the chimney connector is inspected frequently and cleaned on an annual
basis.
The following procedure should be used to clean the flue pathways with:
1.
Remove the oblong hotplate (19), the hot ring (20), the oven damper (63), the bonnet door
(56) and the hob cleaning cups (15) as per Figure 3.6. If the back flue outlet configuration is
used, remove the hob blanking plate (91) instead of the bonnet door.
