each stage for the flames to appear
above the fire.
After a period of slumbering always
turn the air control up to maximum
and wait until flames appear above
the fuel bed before opening the doors.
Burning coal will produce more soot
deposits than other fuels, especially if
the fire is run at low levels for long
periods. It is therefore vital to clean
the throat plate regularly, weekly
cleaning is recommended.
Never fully close the Airwash control
when burning coal.
SPECIAL POINTS
WHEN BURNING
WOOD AND PEAT
The grate should be kept in the wood
burning position and should not be
riddled until the ash becomes so deep
that it begins to block the passage of
air into the firebox at the side of the
grate. When this is the case do not
remove all of the ash using the
riddling mechanism but keep a layer
about half an inch thick as this
enables the wood to burn more
effectively. When burning wood or
peat use the airwash control in the
same way as described (see
‘CONTROLLING THE FIRE’ )but
keep the door airslides closed once
the desired temperature has been
reached.
OVERNIGHT
BURNING
For overnight burning the fire doors
must be closed.
When burning solid fuel the ashpan
should be emptied and the fire
riddled. The air controls should be
turned up to maximum for a brief
period and then when the fire is
burning brightly it should be loaded
with fuel. When the new fuel has
ignited, the door airslides should be
almost closed and the airwash control
moved to a low setting. Some
experimentation will be necessary to
find the settings most suitable for the
particular fuel used and the draw on
the chimney. To revive the fire,
empty the ashpan, riddle, and open
the air controls to maximum. When
the fire is burning well load on more
fuel as necessary and move the air
controls to the desired setting.
When burning wood use large logs
rather than small ones. Proceed as
above, but do not riddle the fire
either when shutting down or
reviving.
CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
The stove is finished with a high
temperature paint which will
withstand the temperatures
encountered in normal use. This may
be cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth
when the stove is cold. Should
re-painting become necessary, high
temperature paints are available from
your supplier or from stove shops.
The glass in the doors is a zero
expansion ceramic glass which will
not crack due to the heat of the fire.
Before cleaning the glass open the
doors and allow them to cool. Clean
the glass using a damp cloth and then
wiping over with a dry cloth. Any
stubborn deposits on the glass may be
removed with a proprietary stove
glass cleaner. Some deposits on the
glass may be burnt off simply by
running the fire at a fast rate for a
few minutes. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or pads as theses can scratch
the surface which will weaken the
glass and cause premature failure.
THROAT PLATE AND
FLUEWAY CLEANING
It is important that the throat plate
and all the stove flueways are kept
clean. When burning smokeless fuels
they should be cleaned monthly.
When burning other fuels they should
be cleaned at least once a week, and
more frequently if necessary. It is not
necessary to let the fire out
completely to carry out these
operations.
The throat plate is lowered using the
tool. The front of the throat plate is
pulled forward and then lowered as
shown in figure 3. Any sooty deposits
should then be swept from the plate
and into the fire.
Return the throat plate to it’s correct
position - raise the front of the plate,
push it back and then lower it onto
the retaining lugs.
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
The chimney should be swept at least
twice a year. In most installations
where a top outlet is used it will be
possible to sweep the chimney
through the appliance.
