Operating Instructions
This appliance is not designed for open operation and therefore should
not
be operated with the doors open,
this could cause excessive smoke and could also harm the appliance.
This stove is designed to burn cleanly with high efficiency. If used correctly this stove will burn with the
very useful feature of clean glass. However, for this product to work properly it must be used correctly.
It is
essential
that the stove has an adequate air supply for combustion and ventilation. The primary and
secondary air inlets must be kept clear from obstruction.
Warning!
This appliance will be very
hot
when in operation and due care should be taken when operating
the controls. A leather glove is provided to assist safe operation.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Air Controls
Primary Air
Primary air is controlled via the rotating dial at the bottom of the stove. This provides a conventional air
under draught to the bed of the fire. The primary air is used when lighting the stoves or when the fuel bed
goes very low. The primary air inlet will usually be closed when burning wood and open when burning coal
type.
Secondary Air (Air Wash)
San Remo stoves are provided with a powerful “air wash” system. This secondary air supply to the stove is
controlled via a sliding air control located on the top right of the stove, just below the door. If you want
clean glass, always leave this control open some way whilst burning unless the stove is being shut right
down for a long period. Moving the sliding control towards the wide side of the arrow increases the burn
rate whilst moving it towards the narrow side reduces it.
Multifuel Grate
Your San Remo Stove is fitted with a rotary style grate, which is operated from the front of the stove via a
riddle rod. Use the “Hook” end of tool to operate the riddling system. This rotary grate is located in the
centre of a cast iron flat bed with suitable air slots that assist the burning of most fuels. It is important to use
the rotary grate to de-ash regularly, to ensure that the primary airflow is not impeded, as a build-up of ash
can damage the cast iron bed.
Ashpan
It is essential that you empty the steel ash pan every day. Use the thick end of tool to hook onto and lift the
ash pan out of the stove.
DO NOT allow ash to build up underneath the bed as this may cause damage
to the grate.
Cleaning
Glass:
Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from time to time
depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the stove is hot. Always use
stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your stove retailer. As an alternative, use
a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if burning wood but be very careful to use very clean ash so as not to
scratch the glass.
Outer body:
The outer body simply needs to be dusted from time to time. DO NOT use any kind of
furniture polish or cleaning agent other than your stove suppliers recommended paint.
