a period on high rate in order to hit the stove back up to temperature and drive off the
moisture and gases in the fuel. If a lot of smoke is produced on reloading, the air wash
control can be opened further to keep the smoke back from the glass. As the fire gets
back up to the temperature, reduce the air wash control and reduce the primary air inlet
to suit the burning rate. The exact setting of the air controls depends on a number of
variables including: the flue draught, the fuel used and the installation and so the best
setting for your stove can only be learned by experience.
ASH REMOVAL
The level of ash should not be allowed to build up to the level of the grate. If the level of
ash becomes too high the air through the grate will become restricted causing the grate
to overheat and preventing the fuel from burning efficiently. Shake the riddling grate to
de-ash the grate. The ash is then able to pass through the grate slots into the ashpan.
The ashpan should be emptied on a regular basis, however when wood burning we
recommend leaving 30-40mm depth of ash in the bottom of the firebox for the best
performance.
MINERAL FUELS
Ordinary bituminous house coal is not recommended and must not be burned in smoke
control areas. Burning bituminous house coal will result in a sooty stove and chimney,
and the stove glass will require cleaning regularly. There are numerous natural
anthracites and manufactured smokeless fuels that will burn cleanly and have more
reliable burning characteristics. A list of these fuels and their suitability is produced by
HETAS (www.hetas.co.uk). Consult your local fuel merchant to find out what is available
in your area. Petro coke should not be used as it burns very hot and may damage the
stove casting.
The above text should be used as a guide only. The ideal operation of
your stove depends on a number of factors, which vary with each
installation, and so gaining experience operating your stove is the only
way to learn its best operation.
The stove as with any other metal products will expand and contract. A
ticking noise may occur. This is normal for this type of appliance.
