FIREBOX LININGS & THROAT
PLATE
The Beacon Multifuel stoves firebox has reflective
liners to the sides and rear. A specially shaped
throat plate which sits on the liners. If these are not
in place please refer to page 17 to install these.
MULTIFUEL GRATE
The static cast grate fitted to your Beacon multifu-
el stove, is designed to burn solid fuel briquettes,
well seasoned wood and peat. A combination of
these fuels can also be burnt, please note, the grate
requires no setting between the differing fuel types.
AIR INLET CONTROLS
Beacon multifuel stoves have two air inlets:
•The air wash system (so called because its
pre-heated high speed air washes across the inner
face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which
provides over draught, and
•The primary air inlet providing under draught to
the base of the fire chamber through the gap
between the body and the ash pit door.
PRIMARY AIR FOR MULTIFUEL
On Multifuel units primary air enters the appliance
through the gap between the body and the ash pit
door. The width of the gap is controlled by rotating
the door knob (if hot, with a suitable glove) anti-
clockwise to increase the the air inlet, clockwise to
reduce the air inlet, or seal the ash door
completely.
Note: Opening or part opening of the ash door is
controlled by the "interlock" device located in the
front of the unit (refer to INTERLOCK section on
page 9).
AARROW AIRWASH SYSTEM
The air wash has an internal sliding plate with slots,
housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire
door. Sliding the control knob to the right as far as it
will go achieves the fully open position.

Sliding it to the left will shut off the air inlet slots
as shown in Fig. 1. Even when all the slots are com-
pletely shut a "bleed" of secondary air will be main-
tained ensuring that inflammable gases are burnt
off.
DISASSEMBLE AIRWASH
The Beacon air wash may be disassembled for
cleaning or adjustment. To achieve this, the
following procedure should be followed:
This should only be carried out when the fire is cold
and unlit.
•Support Air Wash cover with one hand
•Move cover up by smartly tapping the bottom with
a hammer. (Fig. 3)
•Remove assembly from appliance.
•Clean and/or adjust.
•Refit using reverse procedure.
