ADJUSTING THE DOOR HINGES
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period of time the fire door may appear to have moved out of alignment with relation to the door aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of the casing.
The fire door can be
•When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the fire.
•Lift the fire door up off its hinges.

FUEL TYPES
Wood- Any type of wood is suitable provided it is well seasoned and has a moisture content below 20%. This usually implies that the timber has been suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at least eighteen months in the case of hard wood. We recommend that for general burning, wood should be split into logs of no more than 130mm (5") diameter. Larger logs can be used for overnight burning.
WARNING wet wood must not be used as this will greatly contribute to the creation of tar and creosote which may, in extreme cases, run down the chimney in liquid form. This will seriously damage both the chimney and the appliance, and increase the risk of chimney fire.
Note: If you have sticky tar inside the appliance or chimney your wood is 'Green' or too wet.
Recommended Reading:
"Wood as Fuel" available from the Forestry Commission.
Peat- Can be used in turf or briquette form, but again the moisture content must be low.
Paper- paper will burn successfully. Burn dry paper only or chimney damage will occur.
NEVER BURN PLASTICS OR WASTE IN YOUR STOVE.
Coal for Multifuel only - Household coal produces a large amount of ash and smoke and chimney will require frequent cleaning. Therefore soft house coal is not recommended.
Recommended fuels are as follows:
