approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed
with wood logs nor does it cover the instructions for the use of other
fuels.
DOOR OPERATION
The door operating tool has been carefully designed to be removed
from the stove during normal operation and re-fitted prior to loading
and de-ashing. However, if you need to open the door when the fire
is running at maximum then the additional use of a cloth or glove may
be required.
Take care not to touch the door as it will be hot when the fire is
burning. Turn the door operating tool anti-clockwise to open, and
clockwise to close.
MULTI GRATE
Your Charnwood Cove is fitted with a multi grate to enable wood to
be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate has two positions:-
1) In the open position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in
between allowing the ash to fall down into the ashpan .
2) In the closed position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the
combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top
of it. When in the closed position ash is able to build up on the grate
as is necessary for effective wood burning.
Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected
using the door operating tool supplied as shown in Fig. 2. The grate is
put into the closed position by moving the tool up until the handle is
in the 10 o'clock position. The grate is put into the open position by
moving the tool down until the handle is in the 8 o'clock position. To
This stove is approved for burning dry wood in smoke controlled
areas. If these instructions are adhered to, no significant smoke will
be produced. Burning wet (>20% moisture content) wood and
operating the stove in an irresponsible manner may produce smoke
which is illegal in smoke controlled areas.
TO COMPLY WITH SMOKE CONTROL REGULATIONS THESE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE ADHERED TO.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out
correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
FUEL
Only dry well seasoned wood (less than 20% moisture content)
should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned wood
will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and within
the chimney. For the same reason hard woods (such as Ash, Beech
and Oak) are better than soft woods (such as Pine and Spruce).
Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in considerably
reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and then left to
season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year but
preferably two years before use.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS
APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste. For advice on
other fuels, please contact Charnwood.
This appliance has been approved by HETAS as an intermittent
operating appliance for burning dry seasoned wood logs only. HETAS
Your Cove stove has been designed to work with the minimum
effort. If any operation - such as riddling the grate or opening and
closing the door - begins to require extra force then the cause must
be investigated and corrected to prevent damage being caused to the
stove.
Remember that the stove will be hot and is made from hard material.
Ensure that you have good balance before operating the fire.
This stove is capable of intermittent operation.
