door will become dirty. To keep the glass clean, we recommend you do not
shut the damper completely but to leave it slightly open, depending on how
the chimney draws, to achieve slow burning for a maximum of 10 hours.
With a good drawing chimney the air wash control n° 1 will need to be
closed further than with poor drawing chimneys.
FUELLING THE STOVE WITH WOOD
It possible use the loading door.
To prevent smoke blowing into the room follow these recommendations:
Firstly open air wash control n°1, allow fire to recover.
Close air wash control n° 1, and open door open the damper (3). Rake the embers towards
the front of the stove and spread evenly. If there are logs only partially burned rake these to
the front of stove.
Feed the logs to the embers. Load logs evenly across the base being cautious not to place
wood in front of the rear edge of the log guard.
Open the air wash control n° 1 to its maximum, open the stove door a fraction and leave to
burn for 5 to 10 minutes. Then close the stove door close the damper (3). Adjust the air wash
control n° 1 depending on the tempo of the stove required.
High combustion temperatures are the secret to clean glass operation. When loading wood
add one or two logs at a time depending on size. Loading the appliance full of damp wood on
a low fire, is certain to cause low combustion efficiency resulting in tar and dirty glass.
(note : always allow the stove to recover before closing for long burning)
ASH REMOVAL WITH WOOD
Empty the ash pan regularly to prevent the ash from spilling over. Do not
allow ash to build up and touch the under side of the grate.
To remove the ash from the stove, operate the oscillating grate using the handle n° 4.
Open the ashpan door by turning clockwise the handle. Remove the ashpan and empty it.
Put the ashpan back and close the ashpan door by turning the handle counterclockwise. This
door must be closed to prevent damage to the stove.
A layer of ash left over the grate when burning wood will protect the grate and retain heat so
encouraging clean combustion.
The tool provided for removal of the ash pan should not be used alone to carry the ash
pan. Use the glove and hold ash pan on both sides.
