Refuelling

The firebox should be filled to the recommended level at the middle of the firebox door opening.

When correctly fuelled, the stove will maintain the maximum rated output for a minimum of 2 hours, including intermittent cooking. Once re-fuelling has been completed, close the firebox door immediately and open only for re-fuelling charges.

Restriction Plates

The unit comes supplied with three rectangular air restriction plates on the bottomgrate. These should always be in place during operation to control the amount of air into the firebox. They should be removed to clean the bottom grate and to use the riddling rod on the left hand side of the unit but must be replaced after cleaning.

De-ashing

NOTE: Should the bottom grate de-ashing fail to clear an accumulation of ash and debris, it may be removed as described in the section on removal of melted ash.

Open the ashpit door to give access to the ashpan which must be emptied regularly. (See Fig. 11)

In winter this may be as much as three times daily depending on weather severity.

NOTE: Do not allow ash to accumulate in the ashpan until it touches the underside of the bottom grate bars or they will quickly burn out.

Ensure the ashpan is in place otherwise the ashpit door may not close and lock completely.

Cleaning of the Bottom Grate

Due to an accumulation of ash and other material, it may not be possible to pass through the grate. Allow the fire to burn out and then open the ashpit door. Lift off the cleaning door (See Fig. 12) and insert a hooked poker to draw out any offending accumulation. Replace cleaning door after use.

The amount of accumulated debris is dependent on the heating load and should be checked weekly for any build- up. Excessive build-up will lead to a fall in heating output and reduction in life of the bottomgrate.

WARNING: Do not remove when alight.

Use of the Hotplate

The best results can be obtained by using machined base cookware. The hottest part of the hotplate is immediately above the fire, the other end being for simmering.

The circular plug in the hotplate (near the flue chamber end) is for flue cleaning and must not be removed for cooking.

Keep the hotplate clean with a wire brush.

Continuous use of the oven with the hotplate covers down may result in discolouration of the hotplate and the chrome covers.

NOTE: To obtain optimum hotplate performance for fast boiling or hotplate cooking, fuel the firebox to a maximum of the bottom edge of the firebox opening to a horizontal level.

WARNING: The stove top plate surface around the hotplate will become hot under use and care must be observed. Please refer to the installation instructions on Page 7 regarding minimum clearances to combustible surfaces and materials.
