Fit the grate plates into position through the front and rear grate
support plates, making sure they locate correctly onto the riddler
rod. Fit the fuel retainer. Slide the ashpan under the grate.
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 chimney to evaporate.
Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters. Put
the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover with a
few small dry logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 2). Light the
paper or fire lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a few
minutes to assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more
quickly. When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more small
logs, close the door but leave the air control fully open. When the
flames are established around these logs, load the stove with the
required fuel load. Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.
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 control
to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not leave the
stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as directed
above to avoid excessive smoke.
When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base if burning wood,
unless it is becoming too deep, in which case some of it may be
removed. If burning high ash content fuel, clear the grate and empty
the ashpan before relighting.

ASH CLEARANCE
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the air
control (see Fig. 2).
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 ‘click position’ or for low
burning to the fully closed position.
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.
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 ash. 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 front firebars as overloading can cause
excess smoke. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this appliance.
The ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes too full.
Never allow the ash to accumulate in the ashpan so that it comes in
contact with the underside of the grate as this will seriously damage
the grate bars. The ashpan is handled using the tool provided. Care
should be taken to ensure that ash is cool before emptying it into
plastic liners or bins.
For
correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe thermometer
which may be purchased from your supplier or from Charnwood.
