*Patent applied for
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.
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.
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.
ASH CLEARANCE
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,
the back and front grate support plates,
making sure they locate correctly onto the
riddling rod.
Slide the ashpan under the grate.
LIGHTING
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 (1/2 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.
CONTROLLING THE
FIRE
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
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, poke the fire with a poker to
clear the firebed of ash.
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.
SPECIAL POINTS
WHEN BURNING
HOUSE COAL
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
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.
RUNNING THE FIRE
WITH THE DOORS
OPEN
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.
