LIGHTING
The stove may be lit using dry kindling wood and paper or fire
lighters. Set the grate into either the closed position or the open
position as required. Place the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling on
the grate and cover with a few small dry logs. Open the air control
fully (see Fig. 1). Light the paper or fire lighters. Close the door until
the fuel is well ignited then load with fuel. Once the fire is up to
temperature the airwash system will begin to work, so allow the fire
to become hot before adjusting the air controls to the required
setting.
On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the
silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This
is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room
should be kept well ventilated.
At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to
allow any residual moisture in the bricks to evaporate.
When relighting the stove, riddle slightly, and then empty the
ashpan.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
The fire is controlled by the single air control knob shown in Fig. 1
TM
This unique QuattroFlow air control* provides carefully balanced
primary, secondary, tertiary and bypass air to enable optimum
burning conditions without the need to fiddle with multiple controls.
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the air
control
Open the air control fully (boost position) when lighting or when
rapid burning is required. It should not be left fully open for long
periods as this can cause over-firing or excessive smoke production.
For high output move the air control to the high output position or
for low burning to the fully closed position. (see Fig.1).
When the fire is burning normally the air control gives enough
airwash to keep the glass clean. However, it will not always be
possible to keep the glass clean with the air control fully closed. For
correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe thermometer
which may be purchased from your supplier or from Charnwood.
The Cove 2 blu is fitted with an air control stop for use in a smoke
control area. This stops the stove from burning too slowly.
REFUELLING
Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.
Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to
refuel on to a hot bed of embers. If at this point the fire starts to die,
the door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has
started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must
be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open to
re-establish the firebed before adding larger logs (see suitable log
sizes in Fuel section). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.
Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel does
not project over the fuel retainer or damage to the glass may be
caused when the door is closed. It can also cause the glass to blacken
up. Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire
when the door is opened.
In smoke controlled areas do not fill the stove above the level of the
air holes in the back bricks, as overloading can cause excess smoke.
Do not operate with the door left open except as directed by the
instructions as this can cause excessive smoke.
RIDDLING
When burning wood, ash should be allowed to build up and only
riddled when the ash begins to cover the slots in the rear fireplate.
The fire should be riddled with the door shut (see Fig. 2). Place the
tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the lower and
horizontal positions several times. Too much riddling can result in
emptying unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be
