For the stove to work correctly, it is important that all the air coming into the stove goes through the air
valves only, if the upper and lower door are not properly closed this will not happen as well as it should.
Front Fret.
The front fret is fully insulated and fits up to the front of the stove firebox with the insulation board facing
the fire. It is fitted down the front of the stove and locates on two fasteners, one at either side of the stove,
when refitting it make sure that the hearth plate is clear of ash so as not to stop the fret fitting flush down
to the hearth plate.
This has four very important functions-:
•
It stops high temperature build up on the front plate of the stove.
•
It acts as a passage for the over fire air to come through the air valve and through into the fire.
•
It acts as an insulator to keep the hearth hotter for longer thus adding to the overall burn time length.
•
It keeps the hearth at a higher temperature than conventional stoves increasing combustion efficiciency.
Baffle Plate.
The baffle plate is designed to stop the flames or heat from the fire going straight up the chimney.
As the flames rise in the stove they hit the baffle plate and are pushed forward to hit the front and top plate
of the stove. This slows them down and makes them lose more heat to the stove and less up the chimney.
On the Corner stoves it is a triangular plate, which fits into the top of the stove and is supported by three
small brackets and on the rectangular stoves (3 and 4B) it is a rectangular plate supported on two horizontal
supports at either side of the stove.
The baffle plate is only fitted to the non water-heating stove.
It should be inspected occasionally to make sure that it is still in good condition.
The baffle plate is a consumable item and may need replacing from time to time.
Riddling Grate.
The 3B stove does not have a ridding grate.
On the 4B stoves the riddling grate fits in the circular hole in the bottom of the grate carrier plate.
It can be riddled by pulling and pushing the riddling rod, always use the tool for this job as the brass end of
the riddling rod gets hot when the stove is running.
To remove the grate the riddle rod must be detached from it.
To do this proceed as follows-:
Let the stove go out.
Clean all the ashes out of the grate.
Open the de ashing door and remove the ash pan.
Remove the 8mm nut on the end of the riddle rod under the grate
.
You will have to stop the riddle rod rotating
by inserting the tee bar into the brass eye.
Note the 8mm nut is punched on one end to allow it to lightly lock on to the riddle rod end.
When replacing this nut put it back with the punched end outermost.
If you over tighten this nut it will cause the riddling action to lock up.
When the nut is removed, pull the rod out of the grate lever and it should then be possible to remove the grate
by lifting it out.
