FUELS

The following fuels may be burnt on this stove. Please pay careful attention to the special points made with each type of fuel as they will help you to get the best from your stove. It must be remembered that only smokeless fuels may be burnt in smoke control areas on this stove. If you are not sure whether you are in a smoke control area, then please check with your Local Authority.

Smokeless Fuels

The recommended smokeless fuels which are suitable for use in smoke control areas on this stove are as follows:

Ancit, (Phurnacite Plus)

Anthracite Large Nuts,

Homefire,

Maxibrite,

Phurnacite,

Sunbrite Doubles,

Welsh Dry Steam Coal (Large Nuts).

Coal

Housecoal doubles, trebles or cobbles may all be burnt. Do not use singles, small nuts, or coal dust

It is important that large size coal is used (ie. larger than 2’’ or 50 mm in size). The coal should be dry.

When burning bituminous coal a little extra care is needed. Please take note of the section ‘‘Special Points For Burning Coal’’.

Wood

Only dry well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason hard wood is better than soft wood. Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year but preferably two years before use.

Peat

Ensure that the peat is well dried before use. Burning wet peat will give rise to heavy tar deposits and reduced outputs.

PETROLEUM COKE IS

NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.

At first you may find it helpful to try several fuels to find the most suitable. If you are unable to obtain the fuel you want ask your supplier, an approved fuel distributor, or your local British Coal office to suggest an alternative.

DOOR OPERATION

Use the multi-purpose tool to open and close the doors. Turn the right-hand door knob anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.(see fig.1)

MULTIFUEL GRATE

Your Charnwood stove is fitted with a multifuel grate which enables both solid fuels and wood to be burned equally effectively. The grate has two positions:-

1)In the solid fuel position the grate bars are vertical with gaps in between allowing the primary combustion air to come up through the grate and through the fuel bed.
