Maximum burning rate is obtained with the ashpit door
spinwheel set at eight turns open. Minimum burning rate is
half turn open. Adjust as required to suit the fuel and the
heating desired.
A fully fuelled fire will last four hours (when burning solid
fuel) at the maximum recommended burning rate before re-
fuelling is required. Avoid clinker formation which indicates
overfiring and always check that the firedoor is locked.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO KEEP THE ASHPIT DOOR
CLOSED, CAN RESULT IN OVERHEATING, AND IN
EXTREME CONDITIONS RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE
STOVE.
Overnight Banking and Daytime Slow Burning
De-ash thoroughly before re-fuelling and ensure there is a
sufficient amount of hot fuel in the firebed before loading.
Fuel fire up to the top of the front firebar sloping the firebed
upwards to the back of the firebox.
Set the ashpit door spinwheel to half turn open.
Experience will indicate the setting that provides the best
results with the fuel being burnt.
NOTE:
DIFFICULTY IN OBTAINING BANKING CAN
SOMETIMES BE OVERCOME BY THE USE OF SMALLER
SIZE FUEL e.g. SUNBRITE SINGLES.
The supply of hot water is dependent on the rate of burning
and is greatest with the ashpit door spinwheel set at eight
turns open, and at least when the spinwheel is set at half
turn open.
The boiler is designed to heat radiators as well as supply
domestic hot water. Fuel consumption will be higher when
heating radiators and these should be turned off when not
required.
a. Riddle the bottomgrate by engaging the operating tool in
the right hand side square socket shaft, Fig. 3, and
rotate/reverse it sharply for about 10 strokes by which
time the fire should be free of ash. Riddle the grate at
least twice daily (more than if required) and always
before re-fuelling.
b. Open the locked ashpit door with the operating tool, Fig.
1.
c. Remove the ashpan with the operating tool, Fig. 4.
Allow to cool before placing contents in a plastic bin or
liner.
NOTE:
EMPTY THE ASHPAN AT REGULAR INTERVALS
AND DO NOT ALLOW ASH TO ACCUMULATE IN THE
ASHPAN UNTIL IT TOUCHES THE UNDERSIDE OF THE
BOTTOMGRATE AS THIS WILL SOON DESTROY THE
BOTTOMGRATE.
THE CONTINUED PRESENCE OF SHALE, STONE OR
CLINKER IN THE FIREBED WILL REDUCE BURNING
