SOLID FUEL BURNING
Set the grate to the ‘+’ position.
Ensure that the ash pan is in position and
the fire door is closed.
Set the Air wash to one quarter open and the
thermostat knob to position 5.
Light in the normal way with kindling and or
a fire lighter.
If you use a gas poker be sure to remove it
as soon as the fire is alight.
When the fire is well alight regulate the
burning rate by adjusting the thermostat
control knob.
The air wash can be adjusted to keep the
glass clear.
The Easy Boost air control can be used to
aid lighting if required, see page 29.
ANTHRACITE
Anthracite can be a little difficult to keep burning
for long periods, consequently care in setting the
controls, and some familiarisation is necessary
when burning anthracite.
Use small size fuels (Stovesse or Small Nuts).
Proceed as for any manufactured smokeless fuel.
Leave the Airwash air inlet control open about a
quarter or less.
See page 31 of this manual for a full list of
recommended fuel types, or visit the
