AIR CONTROLS
The stove has two independent air controls.
1.
The primary air control or spin valve. Rotate
the spin valve clockwise to close and anticlock-
wise to open. See Fig.5
2.
The secondary / window wash air control. This
is located over the door on the right hand side.
See Fig.6
When the fire has established, while burning wood
the spin valve can be closed fully or less than half a
turn open. The fire can then be controlled using the
secondary air control.
When burning approved smokeless coal the sec-
ondary air control can be moved to the minimum
position. The fire can then be controlled using the
spin valve.
RECOMMENDED FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned
wood logs and smokeless coal. The appliance is
suitable for intermittent operation in smoke con-
trolled areas using wood logs and smokeless coal
approved for use in smoke controlled areas.
Wood should be kept under cover and kept as dry as
possible prior to use. Wood logs of diameter less
than 80mm and no more than 310mm long are
recommended.
Do not use liquid fuels or any fuels with a Petro-coke
ingredient as this may cause the grate to overheat
resulting in damage.
RIDDLING
Riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove, then gently pull and push the rock-
er arm until all dead ash has fallen through into the
ashpan. See Fig.7
RE-FUELLING
When refuelling, always refuel onto a bed of glowing
embers, riddle gently if necessary. When refuelling,
adjust the secondary air control to the fully open
position and open the spin valve 2 turns for approx-
imately 3 minutes allowing the new refuel charge to
establish combustion before adjusting the air control
to the desired setting.
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed
to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emis-
sion can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto
a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that
the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable peri-
od. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add
suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of wood (1.4 kilograms per
hour) should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause excess smoke.
