WARNING: Over-firing the stove may cause a house fire. If the
chimney is seen to be glowing the stove is over-fired.
TYPES OF FUEL
This stove will function with all kinds of wood but in general all fuel should be dry and well seasoned.
Avoid using ‘green’ unseasoned wood, treated wood such as telegraph poles, or plywood or chipboard
containing glues and resins which pollute the environment and cause the fire to burn too quickly.
The use of damp wood will result in more soot being left in the chimney, flu and stove and will not
release heat if thermal energy is being used to drive out moisture from the fuel.
The maximum length of fuel suitable for this stove is 40cm so as to lay flat over the embers and logs
of greater than 10cm diameter should be split.
ASH REMOVAL
Keep the grate free from a heavy buildup of ashes.
The Richmond stove is equipped with a grate riddling device which is used to shake ashes off the
grate & into the ashpan. If the stove is burning without life and the lower controls are open, use the
riddling lever to clear the grate of ash. Empty the pan once a day or whenever full of ashes and take
care not to allow ash to come into contact with the underside of the grate.
When disposing of ashes, ensure they have cooled and always place in a metal container.
MAINTENANCE
Should rust become apparent, clean thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a suitable treatment.
If the stove is purely ornamental, painting will provide a durable, attractive finish. If the stove is
used for heating and cooking, a high temperature heat resistant paint should be applied.
Periodically inspect the flue and chimney for a buildup of deposits especially following prolonged
periods without use. These should be removed as necessary. Consider the need to have the
chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep if deposits become significant.
If disposing of this product, do not dispose of with general waste. Metal products
should be taken to your local civic amenity site for re-cycling of metal products.
