Charnwood Cove 2B, Operating & Installation Instructions Manual

b) Let the fire out and safely dispose of the fuel from the

appliance.

c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.

d) Do not attempt to re-light the fire until cause of fume has been

identified, if necessary seek professional advice.

The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney

blockage. For your own safety these must be kept clean.

Fire blazing out of control

Over-Firing

Check that :

a) The door is tightly closed.

b) The air controls are set at the minimum setting .

c) A suitable fuel is being used.

d) The thermostat flap is closed against the Thermostat Box, see

Fig.5.

e) Door seals and air control flap pads are intact.

If the fire is over-fired it will cause premature failure of the internal

fire parts. Overfiring is occurring when any parts of the fire begin to

glow red. To prevent over-firing ensure that:

a) the door seals are kept in good condition, and that the doors are

sealing correctly,

b) the thermostat on the fire is working correctly,

c) a suitable fuel is being used,

d) the fire is not fitted onto a heating system which is too large.

Do not light the fire if there is any possibility that any parts of the

system may be frozen.

Lack of Heat To Radiators / Hot Water

Check that:

a) the fire is burning properly - if not then carry out the checks under

"Fire Will Not Burn".

b) the throat plate is fitted correctly (see Fig. 4.) and that it is not

distorted.

c) the door seals are in good condition.

d) If the hot water goes cold when the pump is turned on, or if some

radiators are hotter than others, then the system may need balancing,

the pump may be pumping the water too quickly around the system,

or the radiators may need bleeding. Please ask your installer to check

Freezing

Door Glass Blacks Up

Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of

experimentation due to the differences in the draw of different

chimneys. The following points should be noted and with a little care

should enable the glass to be kept clean in most situations:

a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass

clean, therefore, when lighting the stove allow the fire bed to

become well established before closing the air control. This also

applies when re-fuelling the stove.

b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebar

as possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.

c) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the

glass to blacken.

It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the

stove very slowly for long periods.

Check that all flue connections and the blanking plate are well sealed.

It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient, (when the

chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 0.10 inches water gauge

(25 Pascals) should be obtained), and that it is not affected by down-

draught.

Fume Emission

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will

not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling

may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and

must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the

following immediate actions should be taken:

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room.
