REFUELLING
Before opening the door, open the primary air con-
trol fully as this will help to eliminate any smoke or
fly ash resident in the combustion chamber. Add fuel
to fire, close fire door and re-set the air controls to
the required setting.
OPERATION WITH DOOR LEFT OPEN
Operation with the door open can cause excess
smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
DAMPERS LEFT OPEN
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers
open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must
not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers
or door left open except as directed in the instruc-
tions.
SLOW BURNING
Slow burning will cause the window glass to blacken
and should not be used for a long period. It should
only be done after the fire has been established and
been running at nominal output for a period of time.
For a prolonged slow burn, fill the firebox of fuel up
to a maximum height just below the top of the fire
fence at the front of the door opening. Close the pri-
mary air control and the secondary air control.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Your stove is provided with an ashpan which should
be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the grate by overheating. We recommend
that you remove ashes after you have riddled the fire
when the stove is thoroughly cooled.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways
It is recommended that the flue pathways in the
stove are cleaned on a monthly basis (or less
depending on the soot build-up created by the fuel
being used) and the chimney cleaned annually. To
access the chimney pathways, use the following
procedure:
1.
Remove the top baffle from the firebox by
pulling it forward and lifting it up on the RHS
to allow the LHS of the baffle to drop into the
firebox so that it can be removed through the
firedoor opening.
2.
Remove the Flue Restriction Plate by pulling
it towards the firedoor (see Fig. 21).
Fig.21
Flue Restrictor Plate
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-
combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled.
Open the firedoor and remove the ashpan using the
glove provided. Close the firedoor. When the ash is
disposed of, replace the ashpan.
