OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

ASH REMOVAL

The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a day or when the level of ash reaches the top of the ash pan. On no account should the ash be allowed to build up to touch the grate as this will greatly shorten its life.

DE - ASHING

It is necessary to maintain an ash layer on the upper surface of the grate bars, in order to protect them so de-ashing should cease as soon as the first red embers drop into the ash pan. Further de-ashing will cause heat build-up under the grate, which will considerably shorten its life. This operation should be carried out with the doors closed to prevent dust escaping into the room.

•Move up and down vigorously the riddling lever (ash will fall into the ash pan beneath the grate). •When de-ashing is complete re-set grate to

previous position.

• Empty ash pan.

Note: Do not force the riddling lever.

TO EMPTY THE ASH PAN

Open the fire door; open the ash door. Fit the fork end of the operating tool into the ash pan and remove from the ash pit chamber.

WARNING: The ash can be very hot. Empty only to a metal container. Even if the ash appears cold, red-hot pieces of ash may be concealed and could easily start a fire or cause an injury. Replace the ash pan and close ash door. Close the fire down.

CLINKER

The formation of clinker suggests that the unit is being over-fired. Any clinker forming on the grate should be removed when cold.

OVER-FIRING

Do not over fire your appliance. Using flammable liquids or too much wood or firing the fire at maximum for prolonged periods may result in over-firing. If the chimney connector or casing glows red it is being over-fired. If this occurs immediately close all air inlets to the appliance to reduce the air supply to the fire. Should a chimney fire occur immediately close the appliance down. Get everyone out of the house and call the fire

brigade. A chimney fire may cause structural damage of the chimney. Do not use the appliance until the chimney and connector have been inspected and any damaged parts repaired or replaced. This should be done by a competent person such as a HETAS registered engineer.

CLEANING

IMPORTANT

Under some circumstances soot can quickly build up on the throat plate and adjacent areas. The throat plate should be removed and checked monthly, and any debris stripped off. Similarly, clean the upper surface of the firebox.

Refer to page 16 for instructions on throat plate removal/inspection.

IF ASH BUILDS UP AROUND THE THERMOSTAT OPENING.

1.Make sure the fire is unlit and cold. 2.Remove the access plate. (See page 19) Carefully clean the cold ash from the thermostat using a vacuum cleaner. Re-fit the access cover. Also the area to the left hand side of the firebox should be swept clean.

WARNING PERFORM THESE OPERATIONS WHEN THE STOVE IS UNLIT AND COLD.
