OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE
CHARNWOOD LA30iB
GENERAL POINTS
Before lighting the fire 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.
WARNING There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as this appliance as this can cause the appliance to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
If the appliance is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the appliance and the open fire.
When using the fire in situations where children or infirm people are present please use a fire guard to prevent accidents. The fire guard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539.
This appliance has been designed to conform with BS.3378. It has obtained the approval of HETAS Ltd. (formerly DSFAAS Ltd.) for burning the following smokeless fuels.

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 the Solid Fuel Association (tel. 0800 600 000) to suggest an alternative.
DOOR OPERATION
Use the spanner type tool to open and close the doors. Turn the knob on the right hand door
LIGHTING
Place some paper and dry kindling wood or fire lighters on the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel. Turn the thermostat control knob to the maximum setting and light the paper or fire lighters. Close the doors and allow the fire to burn until the fuel is well ignited then load with more fuel and adjust the thermostat to the required level.
On initial lighting, the appliance may smoke and give off an odour as the silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This is normal and will cease after a short time. In the meantime the room should be kept well ventilated.
Before relighting the fire, riddle, remove any clinker from the firebed and empty the ashpan.

CONTROLLING THE
FIRE
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the control knob on the left hand side of the appliance, shown in Fig. 1. This is linked to a thermostat which controls the boiler temperature. The number at the top of the knob is the number at which it is set. Some experimentation may be necessary to obtain the desired heat output.
