Burning coal:
•
The Air-wash/secondary air lever (The control to the right)
–
This
should be left partially open, to allow the air-wash system to keep
the glass clean.
•
Primary air control lever (The control to the left) - When burning coal,
the stove should be mainly controlled using this lever.
•
Avoid prolonged periods of slow burning which may cause build-up
of creosote with certain fuels. Using a flue temperature gauge can
help achieve the optimum temperature for clean combustion. See
bottom of page 17 for optimum flue temperature for the relevant
fuels.
