Refuelling
The firebox should be filled to the recommended level at
the middle of the firebox door opening.
When correctly fuelled, the stove will maintain the
maximum rated output for a minimum of 2 hours, including
intermittent cooking. Once re-fuelling has been
completed, close the firebox door immediately and open
only for re-fuelling charges.
Restriction Plates
The unit comes supplied with three rectangular air
restriction plates on the bottomgrate. These should
always be in place during operation to control the amount
of air into the firebox. They should be removed to clean
the bottom grate and to use the riddling rod on the left
hand side of the unit but must be replaced after cleaning.
De-ashing
NOTE: Should the bottom grate de-ashing fail to clear
an accumulation of ash and debris, it may be removed
as described in the section on removal of melted ash.
Open the ashpit door to give access to the ashpan which
must be emptied regularly. (See Fig. 11)
In winter this may be as much as three times daily
depending on weather severity.
NOTE: Do not allow ash to accumulate in the ashpan
until it touches the underside of the bottom grate bars
or they will quickly burn out.
Ensure the ashpan is in place otherwise the ashpit door
may not close and lock completely.
Cleaning of the Bottom Grate
Due to an accumulation of ash and other material, it may
not be possible to pass through the grate. Allow the fire to
burn out and then open the ashpit door. Lift off the
cleaning door (See Fig. 12) and insert a hooked poker to
draw out any offending accumulation. Replace cleaning
door after use.
The amount of accumulated debris is dependent on the
heating load and should be checked weekly for any build-
up. Excessive build-up will lead to a fall in heating output
and reduction in life of the bottomgrate.
WARNING: Do not remove when alight.
Use of the Hotplate
The best results can be obtained by using machined base
cookware. The hottest part of the hotplate is immediately
above the fire, the other end being for simmering.
The circular plug in the hotplate (near the flue chamber
end) is for flue cleaning and must not be removed for
cooking.
Keep the hotplate clean with a wire brush.
Continuous use of the oven with the hotplate covers down
may result in discolouration of the hotplate and the
chrome covers.
NOTE: To obtain optimum hotplate performance for fast
boiling or hotplate cooking, fuel the firebox to a maximum
of the bottom edge of the firebox opening to a horizontal
level.
WARNING: The stove top plate surface around the
hotplate will become hot under use and care must be
observed. Please refer to the installation instructions on
Page 7 regarding minimum clearances to combustible
surfaces and materials.
