USER INSTRUCTIONS

5.5As the fire becomes established adjust the air control to give the oven temperature you require.

5.6Close flue by-pass control.

5.7Before re-fuelling the cooker it is advisable to first de- ash the firebed, using the riddling grate system or a suitable poker. Do not use bare hands to operate the riddling system or using a poker to clear the firebed.

5.8Then open the air control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed before adding new fuel. Allow the new fuel to burn at high output for a few minutes before adjusting the burn rate with the air control to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to maintain clean and efficient burning.

5.9The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation and personal preferences will be established by experience in using the cooker.

5.10Do not burn bituminous coal, ‘petro-coke’ or other petroleum based fuels, as this will invalidate and product guarantee.

7. OVEN TEMPERATURE

7.1The oven temperature may be adjusted by changing the burn rate by turning the air control on the ashdoor, or adding fuel to increase the temperature. As with all solid fuel cookers the response to changes in control settings may be slow, and the ideal method of operation will be determined by experience.

6. OVER-FIRING

6.1Do not use the cooker at maximum output for prolonged periods of time, or over fill the firebox with fuel, as this could result in over-firing. If the connecting fluepipe, appliance flue collar or top plate glow red with heat the appliance is been over-fired and the air controls should be closed to reduce the output.

6.2If a chimney fire occurs shut all air controls immediately to close the appliance down, and evacuate all persons from the building before calling the fire brigade. Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe to do so.

6.3Following a chimney fire do not use the appliance until it is inspected, by a HETAS (GB only) registered installer, to confirm that the appliance is safe to use, or make any repairs required before re-use. Only genuine Stovax replacement parts are to be used to keep your appliance in safe and efficient working order.

6.4After any chimney fire it is recommended that the chimney system be inspected and swept by a NACS registered (UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is structurally sound and free from any obstructions before re-use.

8.1If the cooker is not to be used during the warmer periods of the year it is recommended to clean and service the cooker, as detailed.

8.2The air controls should be set in the 50% position to keep the appliance ventilated, and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.

8.3Before re-lighting the cooker clear any debris that may have accumulated and check the flue is clear of any blockages.

9. ASH REMOVAL

9.1The burning of any fuel will produce ash, which will have to be removed after a period of use. This time will depend on the fuel used. Before removing the ash from the cooker it is advisable to let the fire burn down to a low level, or even go out completely. The ashpan can be removed from the cooker after opening the ashdoor.
