6. THE AIR SYSTEM

Flue Outlet/Hot Plate only for Sf

The flue outlet is packed together with the firebrick lining and multi-purpose tool, inside the appliance. The hot plate comes fitted on the top of the fire.

To fit flue outlet:

•Select the desired position (top or rear outlet)

•Smear a very thin layer of suitable sealant or fine adhesive fire cement around the edge of the flue cut-out in the appliance

•Fit outlet and lock into place by rotating anti-clockwise

•Similarly fit the hot plate to the unused position

•Clean off surplus sealant

Air Inlet Controls

Stratford Multifuel Sf & Si fires have two air inlets.

1.The air wash system (so called because its pre-heated high speed air washes across the inner face of the door glass, keeping it clear), which provides over draught, and

2.The primary air inlet providing under draught to the base of the fire chamber.

Primary Air

On all Multifuel units primary air enters the appliance through the gap between the body and the ash pit door. The width of the gap is controlled by rotating the knob (if hot, with the operating tool) anti-clockwise to increase the air inlet, clockwise to reduce the air inlet, or to seal the ash door completely.

On units fitted with a thermostat, partial opening of the ash door will over-ride and negate the thermostatic control.

Note: Opening or part opening of the ash door is controlled by the "interlock" device located in the front of the unit (refer to INTERLOCK section on page 9)

Thermostats

Stratford Sf Integral Boiler units have a thermostatically controlled rear air inlet. The damper plate at the back of the appliance regulates the amount of under draught entering, depending on the setting of the thermostat control knob (located at the bottom rear of the right hand side of the unit) and the temperature of the water transmitted through the sensor phial in the water jacket.

Stratford Si units have a thermostatically controlled side air inlet. The damper plate at the side of the appliance regulates the amount of under draught entering, depending on the setting of the thermostat control knob (located at the top of the left hand side of the unit) and the temperature of the water/air transmitted through the sensor phial in the water/air jacket.

Stratford Sf & Si: with the ash door fully shut, the settings range from 0 (fully anti-clockwise) a shut-off setting at which the damper will shut off the under draught completely, causing the fire to die down and in time go out, to 8 (fully clockwise) the highest setting at which the appliance will burn fiercely and produce very high outputs.

Note: The area around the thermostat, both inside at the back of the firebox and externally, must be cleared of ash and other debris regularly.

For setting instructions refer to "Checking Thermostat" in the installation instructions.

On units fitted with a thermostat, partial opening of the ash door will over-ride and negate the thermostatic control.

Air Wash

The air wash has an internal sliding plate with slots, housed in a cover plate, and is located above the fire door. Sliding the control shaft to the right as far as will go achieves the fully open position. Sliding it the left will shut off the air inlet slots. The operating tool should be used to tap the control shaft to the desire setting. Even when all the slots are completely shut a "bleed" of secondary air will be maintained ensuring that inflammable gases are burnt off.
