For fires fitted with Aeration Control
To operate the aeration control system, the
following procedure should be followed:
•
Allow the appliance to warm up, (for at
least fifteen minutes) in the fully aerated
position, with the control lever pushed in
to the locked position – see figure 7, also
see figure 3 item No. 6 aeration control
knob.
•
Switch to the minimum aerated position
by slightly lifting the control lever. A
spring mechanism will close the aeration shutter.
•
To return to the fully aerated position push the control lever in and slightly
downwards until it rests in its locked position.
Please note : It is advisable to run the fire in its fully aerated mode (control knob
pushed in) at the beginning of each operation and if running at the minimum rate
setting, or to burn off any carbon deposits which may have built up after prolonged
use of the minimum aerated setting.
Cleaning
Note: Before attempting any of the following ensure that the fire has been allowed to
cool completely.
Note: Some discoloration of the coals is normal.
The cast parts of the fire should be carefully cleaned with a lint free damp cloth. On
no account should any metal polish or similar be used as this may prove harmful to
the surface.
The coals should normally require no maintenance between the annual inspection
described in the installation and maintenance instructions. However, if your fire is
used frequently the coals may need cleaning. The coals should be removed and any
sooting carefully removed from the surface with a soft brush.
The burner surface can be carefully
vacuumed to remove any loose particles.
Note: Surface cracking is normal and no
cause for concern.
To reassemble, take the following steps.
Placing the front coal
Position the front coal in front of the burner
as shown in figure 8.
