5.2 Burning solid fuel
Please do not attempt to burn Pure Petroleum coke or Bituminous house coal
in your stove. The use of these fuels could damage your stove and will void
your warranty.
Solid fuel burns best with its air supply for combustion coming from beneath the fuel.
1.
Set the airwash / secondary air slider to about one quarter open and the primary air slider
fully open (see section on Air inlet controls ).
2.
Build the initial fire by creating flue draw as with wood fuel (see steps 1, 2, and 3 of section
‘Burning Wood’), with kindling and fire lighters.
3.
Once flue draw has been established, carefully load the stove with fuel and close the door.
4.
When the fire is well alight close the Easy Boost slider.
5.
The airwash should be opened sufficiently to keep the door glass clean.
Whilst burning solid fuel it can be beneficial to occasionally riddle the grate bars so any burnt fuel
will fall between the grate bars into the ash pan below. This will ensure a good under draught is
maintained. Whilst using supplied safety glove,, this should be done by rocking the supplied op-
erating tool on the external riddle control as per figure 4..
