The airwash control is used most of the
time to control the burning rate and to
keep the glass clean. Fully extended
gives full airwash for faster burning and
clean glass whereas fully closed gives
slow overnight burning. It will not be
possible to keep the glass clean if this
control is fully closed, particularly after
refuelling.
Keep the firebox well filled but do not
allow fuel to spill over the top of the
front fire bars.
Care should be taken, especially when
burning wood, that fuel does not
project over the front fire bars or
damage to the glass may be caused
when the doors are closed, it can also
cause the glass to black up.
When burning wood or peat the ash
should be allowed to build up on the
base of the fire. It will only be
necessary to remove some ash once or
twice a week when it begins to restrict
the flow of air through the front fence.
When burning coal or smokeless fuel
the ashpan should be emptied regularly
before it becomes too full, generally
once or twice a day. 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. Care should be
taken to ensure that ash is cool before
emptying it into plastic liners or bins.
After emptying the ashpan, riddle the
fire by placing the tool on the riddler
knob and rotating several times. A
poker may also be used if necessary.
To make ash removal easier, when
burning coal or smokeless fuel, there is
a special Charnwood ash carrier
available. This enables the whole
ashpan to be placed in the sealed
carrier and taken outside. These may
be purchased from your supplier or, in
case of difficulty, from ourselves.
When loading the stove take care not
to smother the fire, instead fill the
firebox in two stages waiting between
each stage for the flames to appear

Fit the riddling plates into position
through the back and front grate
support plates, making sure they locate
correctly onto the riddling rod.
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 bricks to
evaporate.
IMPORTANT When burning wood or
peat on the base of the stove there
must be a bed of ash to prevent
damage to the base. When first lighting
the stove, if there is no ash available
then a make a layer of sand or earth
about 12mm (½ inch) thick on the base
to prevent any damage.
The stove may be lit using dry kindling
wood and paper or fire lighters. Place
the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling
on the base or the grate and cover with
approximately 2 inches of fuel. Open
the air slides in the doors and open the
airwash control fully (see Fig. 1). Light
the paper or fire lighters. Close the
doors until the fuel is well ignited then
load with fuel and adjust the air
controls to the required setting.
When relighting the stove, leave the
ash on the base, if burning wood or
peat, unless it is beginning to block the
slots in the front fence, in which case
some of it may be removed. If burning
solid fuel clear the grate and empty the
ashpan before relighting.
The rate of burning and hence the
output is controlled by the door air
slides and the airwash control (see Fig.
1).
The air slides in the doors should be
used when lighting or when rapid
burning is required. They should not be
left fully open for long periods as this
can cause over-firing. For overnight
burning they should be closed.

above the fire.
After a period of slumbering always
open the door air slides and wait until
flames appear above the fuel bed
before opening the doors.
Burning coal will produce more soot
deposits than other fuels, especially if
the fire is run at low levels for long
periods. It is therefore vital to clean the
throat plate regularly, weekly cleaning
is recommended.
Never fully close the Airwash control
when burning coal.
The fire may be run with the doors
open if required. The more reactive
fuels, such as wood, peat, coal and
Homefire, will burn better with the
doors open than fuels like Phurnacite
and Ancit. Do not leave the fire
unattended with the doors open.
For overnight burning the fire doors
must be closed.
When burning wood load some large
logs on the fire and allow to burn for
half an hour before closing the door air
slides, (this will help to reduce tar
deposits in the chimney.) Leave the
airwash control slightly open to help
keep the glass clear.
When burning coal or smokeless fuel, if
the fire is very low then open the air
controls and revive the fire, adding a
small amount of fuel if necessary.
Empty the ashpan and riddle the grate,
load with fuel, and then close the door
air slides. The airwash control should
be kept slightly open to help keep the
door glass clean.
Some experimentation may be
necessary to find the setting most
suitable for the type of fuel being used
and the draw on the chimney.
To revive the fire, empty the ashpan, (if
burning coal or smokeless fuel), riddle
the grate, and open the air controls to
maximum. When the fire is burning
well load on more fuel as necessary and
adjust the air controls as desired.
