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.
OPERATING WITH COAL
Note: air wash control n° 1 must always be closed.
LIGHTING COAL
Place some tightly rolled paper/fire lighters and a little coal and kindling on the
grate. Open the direct draught damper (nº 3) (pull the handle to the right). Close
air wash control n° 1, open the thermostat n°2 - light the paper and leave it to
ignite the kindling. After about 10 minutes (or longer with a poor drawing chimney)
when the fire has taken hold open the door and feed the stove with coal, banking it
up over the oscillating grate. Close the door. Adjust the tempo of the fire by means
of thermostat n° 2.
Close the direct draught damper (nº 3) (push the handle to the left).
OPERATION WITH COAL
Thermostat n° 2 enables you to regulate the tempo of the stove by adjusting the
air intake opening. The thermostat will automatically control the fire depending on
the position it is set. The thermostat responds to both the stove and room
temperature. ( - = low heat output + = maximum heat output) for normal operation
use 1/2 to 3/4 position. For slow burning do not completely shut off the thermostat
(the thermostat has to be set with a 5 mm minimum opening) (see page 3).
