Controls Explained
Secondary Air Intake
The secondary air intake is the left slider situated under the door at the front of the
stove. Having the slider pushed fully to the right would indicate the intake is in the
minimum position. When the slider is fully to the left the intake is in the maximum
position. This particular air intake is adjustable throughout the area of travel right to left
to control the total amount of air required for suitable combustion. Please note that
when this slider is in the minimum position (fully left) there will still be an ammount of
permanent air entering the appliance. The Secondary air intake is used at initial start-up
and to control the burn rate of wood.
Air wash System
Air wash is a system where secondary air is drawn into the stove (by combustion)
through the air control under the door and is deflected down the back face of the glass,
thus preventing the smoke coming into contact with the glass. It does not mean that you
will never have to clean the glass, but substantially lengthens the periods between
having to do so. The air-wash system works best when burning dry wood. Wet wood will
produce more deposits on the glass. Also, deposits will form on the back of the glass
when the stove is operated on low heat for extended periods (where fuel is only just
smouldering).
Ash Pan
The ash pan can be removed using the protruding handle to pull the ash pan out of its
housing. Use the glove provided at all times. It is recommended this is done when the
stove is cold and not alight.
Coal Hoppers
Your stove has been supplied as a wood burner only. In order to burn coal efficiently
coal hoppers will need to be used. These hoppers are an optional extra and can be
purchased from Broseley Fires. The codes when ordering are:
S-HOTSPUR5/COAL
– Hopper set for Hotspur 5 Stove
S-HOTSPUR9/COAL
– Hopper set for Hotspur 9 Stove
To fit the hoppers simply place
them as per the picture below.
They sit directly on top of the
existing bottom vermiculite.
Care should be taken not to
drop them onto the fragile
vermiculte. The grate should be
central and not covered in any
way once the hoppers are in
place.
