OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
CHARNWOOD COUNTRY 14B
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free from any obstructions. Do not light the fire before the boiler and heating system have been filled with water as this can damage the boiler.
FUELS
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)
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, or an approved fuel distributor to suggest an alternative.
DOOR OPERATION
Use the door opening and ashpan tool to open and close the doors. Turn the
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.
2)In the wood position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing the combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and over the top of it. When in the wood position ash is able to build up on the grate as is necessary for effective wood or peat burning.
Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected using the tool supplied as shown in Fig.2. The grate is put into the solid fuel position by moving the tool up until the handle is in the 1 o'clock position. The grate is put into the wood position by moving the tool down until the handle is in the 5 o'clock position. To riddle the appliance when burning solid fuels the tool should be moved between the 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions several times. When burning wood or peat the ash should be allowed to build up and riddling should only be carried out once or twice a week.

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 inch or 50 mm in size). The coal should be dry.
When burning 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
