Some attention should be paid to the amount of ash
that is allowed to build up in the firebox. Wood has
better burning characteristics if a bed of ash is al-
lowed to build up, riddling only being necessary to
level up the fire (for cooking, for example). Coal or
smokeless fuels, on the other hand, burn better if they
are well riddled to allow a good airflow to the fire. For
slow combustion it is better to have a thicker ash bed
for all fuels. Therefore, do not riddle the fire before
slowing it down for overnight burning, but riddle it if
required in the morning or before cooking.
When using anthracite or coal avoid excessive firing
conditions. High temperatures are unnecessary and
can do serious harm to the cooker. The first indication
that overheating is taking place will be the formation
of clinker (melted ash) in the firebox and this should
be removed immediately otherwise damage will occur
to the firebars and cooker components and any dam-
age here should be repaired without delay.
Your cooker is provided with a steel ashpan. This
ashpan should be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the firebars by overheating. We recommend
that you remove ashes following overnight burn or
when the ashpan is 2/3 full.
To remove the ashpan using the glove provided, slide
the aspan carefully from the ash compartment.
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-com-
bustible container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-com-
bustible material, pending final disposal. If ashes are
buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they should be re-
tained in the closed container until they are thoroughly
cooled.
When ashpan is replace, please ensure that the ash
door is closed and latched securely.
whenever possible, because it is so easy to light, a
lot of people, especially in the Summer, run the appli-
ance for just a few hours with a strong roaring fire.
The appliance is then allowed to die until the hot
water is used up and then is relit. From the appliance
and flue point of view, this is a better technique than
running a low fire continually. (Fig. 1 & 2)

EXTERNAL RIDDLING
Lift the riddling cover on the ash door and insert the
operating tool into the hole until it engages with the
spigot on the grate and move vigorously. In addition
it is also recommended that the firebed itself be thor-
oughly raked at intervals thus loosening up such de-
bris as clinker, stones, etc. which are then easily
removed. (Fig.3).
