OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

INTERLOCK SYSTEM

Stratford Tf and Ti Multifuel Boiler Stoves are fitted with an "interlock" system. A situation where the fire door is closed and the ash door is open may lead to serious overfiring which could damage the appliance. Correct use of the doors and interlock system will ensure that this does not happen.

Operation is as follows:

A pivoted lug prevents closure of the fire door, unless the ash door has been shut first. When the fire door is shut the ash door knob can be turned anti-clockwise by up to 95 degrees creating a variable gap between the top of the ash door and the body, through which primary combustion air can enter the appliance.

Note: In order to turn the ash door knob sufficiently for the catch to release and permit the ash door to be opened fully THE FIRE DOOR MUST BE OPENED FIRST.

MULTI PURPOSE OPERATING TOOL

Your Stratford stove comes with a multi-purpose operating tool which is used to open the ashpit door, riddling, setting the multifuel grate position and for emptying the ash pan. (see fig.4)

RIDDLING

Use the operating tool for setting the grate in the coal burning position or the wood burning position. This means that effective de-ashing takes place, and also allows the grate to be set in the coal burning or wood burning position, as indicated on the right hand side of the appliance.

DOOR TRIM

Stratford fire doors are fitted with a brushed steel finish trim as standard. This clips on to the small lugs at the top and bottom of the aperture in the cast iron fire door, as a "spring fit". When fitted, the trim locks the glass retaining clips in position. (Fig 5)

The fire door should be removed so that the above operations can be carried out on a workbench or similar. Remove the door by GENTLY tapping the door upwards; this will lift off of its hinges.

FIRE DOOR GLASS

If necessary the glass can be removed as follows

Step 1 Remove the brushed steel finish trim by pressing on the curved edge at the top until the trim can be disengaged from the lugs.

Step 2 Slide the two glass retainer clips on one side only, inwards, towards the centre of the door as far as they will go.

Step 3 Pull this side of the glass away from the door casting, easing the tags on the glass retaining clips past the edge of the aperture in the door casting.
