Charnwood Cove 2B, Operating & Installation Instructions Manual

has two positions:-

1) In the solid fuel position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in

between allowing the primary combustion air to come up through

the grate and through the fuel bed.

2) In the wood 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 wood position ash is able to build up on the grate

as is necessary for effective wood or peat burning.

Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected

using the tool supplied as shown in Fig.2. The grate is put into the

solid fuel position by moving the tool up until the handle is in the 1

o'clock position. The grate is put into the wood position by moving

the tool down until the handle is in the 5 o'clock position. To riddle

the appliance when burning solid fuels the tool should be moved

between the 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions several times. When

burning wood or peat the ash should be allowed to build up and

riddling should only be carried out once or twice a week.

LIGHTING

The stove may be lit using dry kindling wood and paper or fire

lighters. Set the grate into either the closed position or the open

position as required. Place the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling on

the grate and cover with a few small dry logs. Open the air controls

fully (see Fig. 1.) Light the paper or fire lighters. Close the door until

the fuel is well ignited then load with fuel. Once the fire is up to

temperature the airwash system will begin to work, so allow the fire

to become hot before adjusting the air controls to the required

setting.

On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour as the

silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This

is normal and will cease after a short time, but meanwhile the room

should be kept well ventilated.

At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow

any residual moisture in the bricks to evaporate.

When relighting the stove, riddle slightly, and then empty the ashpan.

When burning wood,  ash should be allowed to build up and only

riddled when the ash begins to cover the slots in the rear fireplate.

The fire should be riddled with the door shut (see Fig. 2.) Place the

tool onto the riddling lever and rotate between the 1 o'clock and 3

o'clock positions several times. Too much riddling can result in

emptying unburnt fuel into the ashpan and should therefore be

avoided.  After riddling, the grate should be put back into the

position as required (the tool should be in the 1 o'clock position for

open grate or in the 5 o'clock position for closed grate).

Keep the firebox well filled but do not overfill to prevent fuel from

spilling over the top of the front fire bar. Logs should be evenly

distributed filling across the fire bed to give the most pleasing flame

pattern

Care should be taken especially when burning wood that fuel does

not project over the front fire bar or damage to the glass may be

caused when the door is closed. It can also cause the glass to black

up.

CONTROLLING THE FIRE

RIDDLING

REFUELLING

ASH CLEARANCE

The rate of burning and hence the output is regulated by the control

knob on the side of the fire and the airwash control (see Fig.1).

The control knob is linked to a thermostat which senses the boiler

temperature. The number at the front of the knob is the number at

which it is set.

The airwash control should be kept at least slightly open most of the

time to keep the glass clean. It may be fully opened when rapid

heating is required or to help clean any deposits from the glass. It will

not be possible to keep the glass clean if this control is fully closed,

particularly immediately after refuelling.

The ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes too full.

Turn the knob clockwise to increase the water

temperature or anti-clockwise to decrease.

Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire

when the doors are opened. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this

stove.
