Doors/Window - The C-85 has a large, glass enclosed, door for loading of coal and fire viewing.
There is a second steel door on the pedestal of the stove for ash removal. There is a steel dial on the
ash removal door which may be adjusted to change the amount of combustion air entering the stove.
To open either door turn the handle clockwise and pull out; to close the doors, turn the handle to an
11 o’clock position and push in, returning the handle to a closed 8 o’clock position.
Doors must be closed during normal operation of the stove. The gaskets in the doors should be ex-
amined on a regular basis for wear and replaced when necessary. Maintaining proper door seals is
important to ensure proper control of the stove. The stove should not be operated with an inadequate
gasket seal, or with the ash removal door open, as a serious over-firing condition may result.
Note:
The glass in your CS-85 Swatara is manufactured to exact standards to withstand the high
heat of an Anthracite coal fire, but it is glass and as such must be treated with care. Do not slam the
door shut or strike the glass with a heavy object. If the glass is broken do not operate the stove until it
has been replaced.
Substitution of any high-temp glasses, glass-ceramics, or other
CAUTION NOTICE
components in place of genuine Reading Stove Company parts
may compromise the performance, the warranty, and even the
safety of your stove.
Grates
– The grate system of the Reading Stove Company CS85 consists of two cast iron grates.
The grates are linked together to operate in unison when the external shaker handle of the stove is
moved. The grate system serves a dual purpose, the first of which supporting the coal while allowing
air to flow through to the burning coals. The second purpose of the grate system is the removal of ash
from the bottom of the coal bed while the stove is still under fire. The shaker lever should be moved
back and forth in short choppy strokes causing the ashes to fall through into the ash pan.
C. COAL COMBUSTION.
A number of factors are critical to safe and efficient combustion. Each of the factors will be addressed
independently in the paragraphs that follow. If any questions remain after you have studied this sec-
tion, please do not hesitate to contact your local dealer or Reading Stove Company.
Draft.
This term is defined as the vacuum generated within the chimney by your heating system. Your
stove will operate best if you maintain a draft of .04 inches H2O to .06 inches H2O,
Excessive Draft.
Excessive draft will make it difficult to control the heat output of your stove, Air will
move so quickly through the system, that combustion efficiency will be hindered, and needless heat
will exit the chimney.
A barometric damper must be installed on the flue pipe of your stove.
