EMPTYING THE ASHPAN
The ashpan must be emptied regularly otherwise
ash will build up to a point where it interferes with
the natural flow of cool air through the fire bars and
as a consequence these will be damaged.
COOKER FLUE CLEANING
Your Stanley Cooker should be cleaned out at least
once a week although this may be extended to two
weeks if smokeless fuel is used. e.g. anthracite,
phurnacite or similar manufactured fuels.
This procedure is as follows: Remove all loose
sections on top of the Cooker. Open the direct
damper. Where a flue chamber is fitted in
conjunction with a vertical flue pipe remove the
cleaning door from the front of this fitting in order to
obtain access.
All deposits from the flue pipe and the top of the
oven may be brushed both into the firebox and
down the right hand side of the oven.
Deposit
which has accumulated on the side of the oven
must also be brushed downward and particular
attention must be paid to the back flueway
which runs from the top flue outlet down to the
bottom left corner immediately underneath the
oven.
To remove the accumulated ash and soot
take off the cleaning plate situated immediately
under the oven on the front of the Cooker and
thoroughly clean out the residue from the side flue,
back flue and base plate -
this operation is
essential otherwise the flow of hot gases will be
obstructed and satisfactory oven temperatures
will not be maintained,
apart from which such
deposits may contribute to smoking. Replace all
the loose parts which have been removed making
sure that all cooking surfaces have been thoroughly
cleaned on the underside.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
Open the spin valve by a quarter turn and close the
oven damper; riddle the fire and refuel. In the
morning open the air valve and damper and riddle
the fire; when it is again burning brightly, refuel. If
it is found that the fire is completely burned out then
new settings should be tried in respect of the spin
valve. On the other hand if the fire is out and the
fuel unburned then the reverse should apply.
BOILER SUMMER CONDITIONS (Central
Heating)
To obtain a reduction in boiler output during the
summer the central heating model is supplied with
a set of cast iron heat shield plates as standard
equipment. Two of them are positioned on the
hooks welded to the face of the boiler and boiler
back and are easily positioned and removed.
Maximum heat reduction is achieved by using all
the plates provided. If, however, increased output
is desired then plates can be removed
progressively to the point where the required output
is obtained.
These heat shield plates have no function other
than to reduce the boiler output.
DOMESTIC BOILER UNIT
A normal fire will provide sufficient hot water to
meet your needs. Increase the burning rate to heat
oven up to the required temperature.
RIDDLING
Open the ashpit door and direct damper to their
fullest extent. Fit the riddling tool on to the spigot
provided at the front of the fire bar and move the
bar vigorously to and fro. It is recommended that
the fire bed itself be thoroughly raked at regular
intervals thus loosening up such debris as Clinker,
Stones, etc., which are then easily removed.
