Refueling

Before refueling your stove, turn the air supply to high for a few moments until there is a good fire in the stove. This will ensure there is no build-up of harmful gases in the stove when the door is opened and will also get the new fuel burning quickly and not allow it to kill the fire.

To reload the stove, open the door and feed the fuel in slowly using tongs or a small shovel. Do not overfill the stove. It is always better to put in small loads often rather than big fills less frequently. Close the door gently after stove is reloaded.

You should always wear protective gloves and use tongs when tending a hot stove.

Ash Removal

Your stove is fitted with a shaker grate to remove the ash from the firebox. Use the operating tool to move the shaker knob forward and back. This will allow the ash to fall into the ash pan under the fire bed. This can also be achieved by using a poker.

When ash has built up in the ash pan, it should be emptied. Failure to do this will cause ash to build up around the grate and may cause your grate to warp or burn out. It is especially important when burning fuel with high ash content that you keep your grate clear and your ash pan emptied regu- larly, so as not to damage your grate. Clear the grate with the shaker bar or a poker regularly.

To remove the ash, open the stove door and use the operating tool provided to lift the ash pan out of the stove. If possible, this should be done before lighting the stove when the ash is cold. Even if the ash appears to be cold, it should be placed in a non-combustible container as there may be hot ash in the center of the pile. You should always were protective gloves when removing ash from the stove.

This stove is not designed to operate with the door open. Always close the stove door when you have taken out the ash tray and leave closed while disposing of the ash. Only reopen to put ash pan back into the stove and close immediately afterwards.

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible ma- terials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dis- persed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Do not place any other waste in the container.

Overnight Burning

Your stove is designed to allow overnight burning. To do this, put a good fuel bed into the stove and allow it to burn for about 15 minutes so as not to kill the fire. Then close the secondary air supply at the top of the door and turn the primary air inlet to almost closed. The exact setting of this depends on local conditions, but we suggest you begin with about a ½ turn open. If the fire burns away, then next time close it a little more. If the fire goes out, you need to try with it a little more open. After a couple of nights, you will find the setting that best suits the local conditions of your stove.
