Opera�ng Instruc�ons
This stove should
not
be operated with the doors open. Only when refuelling and where indicated in these
instruc�ons should the door be opened.
When used correctly this stove will burn very efficiently, cleanly and with clean glass. However, for this product
to work properly it must be used in accordance to these instruc�ons, burning wood fuel of 20% moisture or less.
It is
essen�al
that the stove has an adequate air supply for combus�on and ven�la�on. The secondary and
ter�ary air inlets must be kept clear from obstruc�on.
Warning!
This appliance will be very
hot
when in opera�on and due care should be taken when opera�ng the
controls. A leather glove & tool is provided to assist safe opera�on. Never allow young children to operate the
stove.
6.1 Air Controls
Primary Air
Primary air, or under grate air, is controlled via the sliding air control at the bo�om right of the stove, just below
the door. This provides air from under the fire be. This primary air is used when ligh�ng the stove or if the fire
bed is very low at refuelling. Once the fire is properly lit and running this should be slid to fully closed.
Secondary Air (Airwash)
The Casse�e stove has a sophis�cated “air wash” system designed to keep the glass clean. This secondary air
supply to the stove is controlled via a sliding air control located at the bo�om le� of the stove, just below the
door. If you want clean glass, always leave this control open some way whilst burning unless the stove is being
shut right down for a long period. Moving the sliding control towards the wide side of the arrow (to the right)
increases the burn rate whilst moving it towards the narrow side (to the le�) reduces it.
Ter�ary Air
This appliance is also fi�ed with a preheated ter�ary air system which burns otherwise unburnt gases in the
products of combus�on thereby improving efficiency, increasing heat output and decreasing unwanted
atmospheric emissions. At certain stages of burning you will no�ce “jets” of flame emerging near the air holes
to the rear of the firebox. This is controlled when the secondary air slide is operated, bo�om le� of the stove.
Moving the sliding control towards the wide side of the arrow (to the right) increases the ter�ary air whilst
moving it towards the narrow side (to the le�) reduces it.
Mul�fuel Grate
The stove is fi�ed with a grate with a strong set of cast iron bars with suitable air slots and will burn most types
of approved fuels. When burning authorised smokeless fuels, your coal merchant can advise on which ones to
use, it is important to stoke the fire well and de-ash regularly to ensure the primary air flow is not impeded as it
is this air flow that is required when opera�ng with smokeless fuel. A build up of ash when burning smokeless
fuel can damage the cast iron grate. We advise that the secondary air be le� open 25% when burning smokeless
fuels to keep the glass clean and to burn off the vola�le gases produced by the fuel when burning.
A build up of wood ash will not usually harm the grate, however an excessive build up is not to be
recommendedas this will decrease the size of the fire bed and consequently decrease the amount of fuel that
may be put into the stove therefore reducing the stoves heat output. Alway ensure that there are some holes in
the ash when religh�ng the stove to allow the primary air to reach the fire bed or ligh�ng may become slow and
produce smoke.
