6.1.1
Primary air control
- This is located at the bottom of the stove door. The
primary air control allows air into the stove and under the grate area. Keeping
this vent open on start up and when refuelling will allow the fire to get up to
temperature quickly.
6.1.2
Secondary air control
- This is located above the stove door in the centre. The
secondary air control provides an air wash facility to keep the stove glass clean.
6.1.3
Riddle mechanism
- This is located on the right hand side of the stove at low
level. A tool is supplied to operate the riddle mechanism. Align the square cut out
in the tool with the riddling mechanism and move backwards and forwards to
operate. When there is a build up of ash on the grate of the stove, actuate the
riddle mechanism to remove the ash from the grate into the ashpan. Use the
riddle mechanism each time fuel is loaded into the stove.
6.14
Hand glove
- a glove is provided with the stove to adjust the air controls,
actuate the riddle mechanism and open / close the door when the stove is hot.
Please note all parts of the stove will become hot in use and care needs to be
taken to avoid injury through burning.
6.1.5
Ashpan & handle
- a ashpan and handle is supplied for use with the stove,
please use this in conjunction with the glove and be aware that ash and embers in
the ashpan will be extremely hot. Take care when discarding hot embers.
6.1.6
Smoke Stop
- To make sure your stove always receives enough air to burn away
the smoke produced when burning wood, a smoke stop is incorporated into the
secondary air control when the lever is pushed fully to the right hand position.
