3.2. OPERATION
The air wash control n° 1 enables the tempo of the
stove to be adjusted by the size of the intake opening.
With the tool provided the control can be adjusted to
the heat output required.
If you fill your appliance with wood and close all air
supplies, you will, no doubt, easily achieve overnight
burning though it is probable that the glass 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 .
3.3. ASH REMOVAL
IMPORTANT! Only handle the ash pan when the stove
is cold. Always avoid opening the ash-pan if your stove
is in operation.
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. A layer of ash left over the
grate when burning wood will protect the grate, retain
heat, and promote clean combustion.
To clean the ash from the stove, use the poker provid-
ed. Besides, the grate can be riddled to encourage ash
to fall into the ash pan. The riddling rod is located at
the top rear of the stove (nº4 - Fig. 6). With the tool
provided, you can operate the knob pulling from left to
right to shake the grill.

To remove the ash from the stove, 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.
Use the glove and hold ash pan on both sides.
Place ashes in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.
Ashes should be removed from ash pan when cold.
3.4 RELOADING THE STOVE
It possible use the loading door.
To prevent smoke blowing into the room follow these
recommendations:
Close air wash control n° 1, and open door open
the damper nº 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 nº 3.
Adjust the air wash control n° 1 depending on the
tempo of the stove required.
High combustion temperatures are the secret to
