Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply to high for a few moments until there is a good re
in the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is
opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the re.
To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly using tongs or a small shovel. Do not
overll the stove. It is always better to put in small loads often rather than big lls less frequently.
Close the door gently after stove is reloaded.
You should always wear protective gloves and use tongs when tending a hot stove.
Refueling
Ash Removal
Your stove is tted with a shaker grate to remove the ash from the rebox. Use the operating tool to
move the shaker knob forward and back. This will allow the ash to fall into the ash pan under the re
bed. This can also be achieved by using a poker.
When ash has built up in the ash pan, it should be emptied. Failure to do this will cause ash to build
up around the grate and may cause your grate to warp or burn out. It is especially important when
burning fuel with high ash content that you keep your grate clear and your ash pan emptied regu-
larly, so as not to damage your grate. Clear the grate with the shaker bar or a poker regularly.
To remove the ash, open the stove door and use the operating tool provided to lift the ash pan out
of the stove. If possible, this should be done before lighting the stove when the ash is cold. Even if
the ash appears to be cold, it should be placed in a non-combustible container as there may be hot
ash in the center of the pile. You should always were protective gloves when removing ash from the
stove.
Overnight Burning
This stove is not designed to operate with the door open. Always close the stove door when you
have taken out the ash tray and leave closed while disposing of the ash. Only reopen to put ash pan
back into the stove and close immediately afterwards.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight tting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustible ma-
terials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis-
persed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do
not place any other waste in the container.
Your stove is designed to allow overnight burning. To do this, put a good fuel bed into the stove and
allow it to burn for about 15 minutes so as not to kill the re. Then close the secondary air supply at
the top of the door and turn the primary air inlet to almost closed. The exact setting of this depends
on local conditions, but we suggest you begin with about a ½ turn open. If the re burns away, then
next time close it a little more. If the re goes out, you need to try with it a little more open. After a
couple of nights, you will nd the setting that best suits the local conditions of your stove.
