dance with the current Building Regulations, Local Authority By-laws, British Standards
and Codes of Practice. The Brunswick has no ventilation requirement but a fixed vent is
advisable as this will enhance the pull of the chimney and reduce unwanted draughts.
Care should be taken that these openings can not become obstructed. Considerations
and provisions must be made for any other appliances requiring ventilation. An extractor
fan must not be used in the same location as the appliance.
This appliance is not to be used with a shared chimney.
Operating Instructions
Primary Air
Primary air is controlled via the sliding vents in the bottom of the door; this provides a
conventional air draught to the bed of the fire. (+) indicates more air, (-) indicates less
air. To adjust, slightly turn the knob anti-clockwise to loosen, then move sideways.
When in the desired position, turn the knob clockwise until tight.
Secondary Air
Secondary air is controlled via the sliding vent above the door, it is this ‘airwash’ that
keeps a clean and uninterrupted view of the fire, also aiding in good secondary combus-
tion of fuel and reducing emissions into the chimney and environment. To adjust the
secondary air intake, simply move the slider left (-) for less air or right (+) for more air.
Damper Assembly (optional)
When burning wood only, a flue damper assembly may be fitted. When the damper is
set in the open position the chimney draws at full draught, increasing the volume of air
flow through the stove and flue. Shutting the damper restricts the flow, slowing the rate
of burning. This is an after market product and will be of the type with positive open and
closed indication to prevent misunderstanding.
THE FLUE DAMPER SHOULD NOT BE FITTED WHEN BURNING SOLID FUELS
De-Ashing
It is important that the riddler is used to remove the ash to ensure an airflow through the
firebed and allow the fire to burn over the entire area of the grate. Insert peg on operat-
ing tool into hole in riddling rod, draw tool forwards and backwards with a slow positive
action. Set rod in back position after de-ashing.
Notes On Wood Burning
Wood burns best on a bed of ash and it is therefore only necessary to remove surplus
ash from the grate occasionally.
Burn only dry, well seasoned wood, which should have been cut , split and stacked for
at least 12 months, with free air movement around the sides of the stack to enable it to
dry out. Burning wet or unseasoned wood will create tar deposits in the stove and chim-
ney and will not produce a satisfactory heat output.

5) Chimney Fire
Identified by loud roaring sounds, dense smoke and sparks exiting chimney. Shut
down air supply to stove by closing air vents, close stove door fully, call fire bri-
gade immediately. Regular chimney maintenance will prevent chimney fires.
Seek advice from a Qualified Chimney Sweep. Chimneys must be checked annu-
ally more often when bitumas coal and poor quality smoky fuels are used.
If this appliance is well maintained and used correctly in accordance with these
instructions it will give many years of efficient service and prove to be an excel-
lent investment.
