by oscillating the grate back and
forth without excessive force
being used. The grate is not
designed to fully close when
burning wood logs. If the grate
jams it may be due to a foreign
particle like a stone or nail
jamming the riddler action. To
clear a jam, let the stove
completely cool down, remove the
firebox side plates and remove the
riddler bars starting at the
front. Clear any ash and particles
and reassemble the riddler
assembly. The problem will usually
be solved by this process.
Glass blackens excessively
If the stove is fitted correctly
and the correct lighting and
operation of the stove is adhered
to, blackening of the glass should
always burn off after a period of
full output. A poor draught and or
the use of wet or improper fuel
will often lead to excessive glass
blackening. Often clean glass
operation will be attained with a
little experience of operation.
Chimney fire
If the stove and chimney are
kept clean, no fire should
occur. If however it does
happen, close the stove damper
fully, close the stove door
tightly. Only once the fire in
the stove and chimney has gone
out should the stove be opened
and the stove and chimney
cleaned thoroughly. If the fire
is substantial and
doesn’t
extinguish, the fire brigade
should be called. After a bad
chimney fire, expert help should
be sought to have the chimney
examined for any damage before
the stove is used again.
Heating during adverse
weather conditions
In certain cases, e.g. when
ambient temperature is above
15degC. The weather is rainy and
damp, or when a wind is gusty
etc., the chimney draught might be
worse than usual. In such cases a
minimum amount of wood logs should
be used in the fireplace and the
initial air supply valve should be
fully opened.
