Section opposite
Light as normal with kindling or fire lighter
If a gas poker is used be sure to remove it as
soon as the fire is alight
Close the fire door
When the fire is well alight regulate the burning
rate by controlling the primary air inlet control
The air wash can be opened sufficiently to keep
the door glass clean
MIXED FUELS
The grate can be set to either Wood or Coal
position depending on the main percentage of
the fuel to be burnt
As per coal but allow addition secondary air
The primary air inlet can be closed and burning
regulated by means of the air wash above the
door (s)
ANTHRACITE
Anthricite is more difficult to keep in for long
periods, consequently more care in setting the
controls and some familiarisation is necessary
when burning Anthracite.
Use small size fuels (Stovesse or Small Nuts)
Proceed as for manufactured smokless fuel. Leave
the air inlet control open about a quarter or less.
EXTENDED BURNING
The appliance will burn for extended periods
provided:-
Sufficient fuel is placed in the firebox
The controls are correctly set
Excess draught is not present in the chimney
The door is closed
If the fire goes out with un burnt fuel in the
firebox increase the air opening slightly, and
vice versa.
In The Morning
Open the air controls fully until embers begin to
glow brightly, then place pieces of fuel on the fire
until it is well established. Complete re-fuelling can
now be undertaken
IMPORTANT
Stop using the appliance if you smell
fumes or see smoke escaping.
If fume emission does persist, the following
immediate actions should be taken :
Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
Let the fire die or extinguish and safely dispose
of fuel from the appliance.
Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if
required.
Seek expert advice from your HETAS
registered installer. Do not attempt to re-light
the fire until the cause of the fume emission
has been identified and corrected.
