OPERATING THE COOKER

Fig.15

FUELLING

Using  the  recommended  fuels,  access  is  through
the fire door or the fuelling cup.  To fuel, lift and tilt
the  Fire  Fence  outwards.    Note:    When  burning
timber  logs  the  fire  fence  may  be  removed  to
simplify  front  loading,  make  sure  that  the  logs  are
no  longer  than  the  recommended  size  so  that  the
fire door can be fully closed.

When  refuelling  open  the  fire  damper.    After
refuelling  be  sure  to  close  the  damper  otherwise
oven  temperature  will  drop  and  the  fire  box  may
overheat.

CONTROL

The  air  supply  to  the  fire  is  controlled  by  the  spin
valve situated on the ash door.  Depending on the
setting  a  high  or  low  firing  condition  will  be
determined by the volume of air passing through at
any one time.

DIRECT FLUE DAMPER

The direct damper as already advised must be kept
closed at all times except when kindling a new fire
or refuelling.

A  secondary  flue  damper  position  can  be  used
which  allows  the  damper  to  be  partly  opened  to
give better burning in marginal draught conditions.

OVEN DAMPER

When using oven, operate damper in open position.

OVER-FIRING

When  using  anthracite,  coke  or  coal  avoid
excessive firing conditions.  High temperatures are
unnecessary  and  can  only  do  serious  harm  to  the
cooker.    The  first  indication  that  overheating  is
taking place will be the formation of Clinker (Melted
Ash)  in  the  firebox  and  this  should  be  removed
immediately  otherwise  damage  will  occur  not  only
to the cooker components but also to the fire bricks
and  any  damage  here  should  be  repaired  without
delay.

THE HOTPLATE

For  best  results  use  heavy  based,  flat  bottomed
utensils.    When  cleaning  your  cooker  ensure  that
the underside of the hot plate is also attended to as
hard carbon and soot can build up here to such a
degree  that  the  surface  of  the  hotplate  is  being
insulated  from  the  fire  and  this  will,  of  course,
drastically reduce efficiency.

MAIN OVEN

When  baking  or  roasting,  open  the  oven  damper
and Spin Valve fully until the thermometer shows a
temperature  about  50

o

F  (10ºC)  higher  than  that

which is required.  Then close the Spin Valve to a
point  where  the  required  temperature  is  sustained
(a  little  practice  will  soon  show  how  much
adjustment  is  necessary).    Much  will  also  depend
on the strength of the chimney draught.  Remember
the direct flue damper must be kept fully closed as
a by-pass is provided to allow waste gases through
at all times.  When baking or roasting, if it is found
that  the  surface  of  the  food  is  cooking  too  quickly
then  position  the  plain  steel  shelf  in  the  top  of  the
oven so as to act as a heat shield which will protect
the food on the shelf beneath.
