3.7. ASH REMOVAL
IMPORTANT! Only handle the ash pan when the stove
is cold. Always avoid opening the ash-pan if your
stove is in opera�on.
Empty the ash pan regularly to
prevent the ash from spilling over. Do not allow ash to
build up and touch the under side of the grate. A layer
of ash le� over the grate when burning wood will
protect the grate, retain heat,
and promote clean combus�on.
To clean the ash from the stove,
use the poker provided. Besides,
the grate can be riddled to
encourage ash to fall into the ash
pan. The riddling rod is located
between the Plexus fascia panel
and the ashtray door (Fig. 22).

Remove the blind grate from the stove before
cleaning the ash.
Li� the grate from the bo�om of the
fire chamber. Under the grate is the blind grate (fig. 23).

To remove the ash pan from the stove, pull gently of
the ash pan.
Use gloves and hold the ash pan on both sides.
Place ashes in a metal container with a �ght fi�ng lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combus�ble floor or on the ground, well away
from all combus�ble materials, pending final disposal.
Ashes should be removed from ash pan when cold.
3.8. FUELS
Recommended solid fuels: hornbeam, beech wood,
oak wood, fruit tree wood, birch wood and smokeless
fuel designated to be suitable for use in a closed
appliance.
Unsuitable solid fuels: fir wood, moist wood,
chemically-treated wood, wood chips, wood pellets,
Petroleum coke. Do not burn trash in your appliance.
Do not use wood washed ashore from the sea as fuel.
The salt contained in it will react in the combus�on
process and release acid that will damage the iron and
steel.
Your stove is approved for use with wood only.
Do not burn par�cle board scraps or pressed logs using
bonding agents because they can produce condi�ons
which will deteriorate metal. Green or uncured wood
does not work well as fuel, and can cause increased
creosote build-ups. The value of green wood as a
source of heat is limited. Do not overload or use
kindling wood or mill ends as primary fuel as this may
cause over-firing. Over-firing is a condi�on where
excessive temperatures are reached, beyond the design
capabili�es of the stove. The damage that occurs from
over-firing is not covered under the warranty.
WARNING: Do not use petrol, lighter fluid, kerosene or
other flammable liquids to start or freshen a fire in this
heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater
while it is in use.
3.9. WOOD
Logs of correct size for the stove allow for be�er
stacking, filling and opera�on of your stove (see table
below). Use dry wood which, by defini�on, is wood
which has been dried under cover for more than 18
months so that the logs contain less than 20% moisture.
Ideal Log Length Maximum Log Length
10 inches, 250mm 17 inches, 450 mm
Hea�ng the air in a closed building decreases the
rela�ve humidity of the air, which will dry wood and
other combus�ble materials. This drying lowers the
igni�on temperature of these material, thus increasing
the fire hazard. To reduce the risk of fire, some provision
should be made for replenishing moisture to the air
whenever a structure is being heated for extended
periods.
