2. The doors must be left slightly ajar until the top of the
fuelbed has flames passing through it.
3. The appliance doors should be then closed and locked.
WARNING: IF THE DOORS ARE CLOSED TOO EARLY,
THEN PUFF-BACK CAN BE EXPERIENCED. THESE ARE
SMALL EXPLOSIONS WHERE SMOKE COULD BE
FORCED THROUGH THE DOOR SEAL OR AIR INLET
INTO THE ROOM. THE APPLIANCE MUST NOT BE LEFT
UNATTENDED OR OPERATED FOR LONG PERIODS
WITH THE DOORS OPEN AS THIS COULD CAUSE
PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE.
Maximum burning rate is obtained with the thermostat
control knob set to 8 (high) and (1) low minimum rate.
Adjust as required to suit the fuel and the heating desired.
A fully fueled fire will last four hours (when burning solid
fuel) at the maximum recommended burning rate before
refuelling is required. Avoid clinker formation which
indicates overfiring and
always check that the firedoor is
locked
.
De-ash thoroughly refuelling and ensure there is a sufficient
amount of hot fuel in the firebed before loading.
Fuel fire up to the top of the front firebar sloping the firebed
upwards to the back of the firebox.
Close or nearly close the thermostat by setting the knob to
No. 1 setting. Experience will indicate the setting that
provides the best results with the fuel being burnt.
NOTE: DIFFICULTY ON OBTAINING BANKING CAN BE
SOMETIMES OVERCOME BY THE USE OF SMALLER
SIZE FUEL E.G. SUNBRITE SINGLES.
The supply of hot water is dependent on the rate of burning
and is greatest with the thermostat set at 8 (high), and least
when the thermostat is set at 1 (low). The boiler is
designed to heat radiators as well as supply domestic hot
water. Fuel consumption will be higher when heating
radiators and these should be turned off when not required.
If your central heating pump is controlled by an axillary
clamp-on thermostat fitted to the heating return side close
to the stove.
