Set the cooker/boiler damper knob on the front of the
cooker to ‘C’ and the boiler thermostat knob on the
rear left hand corner of the top plate to No. 2 or No. 3.
If more heat is required set to a higher number.
NOTE: INTERMEDIATE SELECTIVE SETTINGS OF
THE COOKER/BOILER DAMPER KNOB AWAY FROM
‘C’ WILL PROGRESSIVELY RESTRICT THE AMOUNT
OF HEAT TO THE TOP OF THE OVEN AND
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT INTO THE
BOILER UNTIL THE KNOB IS POINTING TO SYMBOL
‘H’ FOR MAXIMUM WATER HEATING. IN THIS
POSITION, THE MINIMUM PROPORTION OF HEAT IS
DIRECTED TO OVEN HEATING. ALTHOUGH THE
OVEN WILL STILL GET HOT.
Cooking Only - All Fuels
Set the spinwheel open. The precise amount will be
shown by experience with the appliance.
After setting the cooker/boiler damper knob to ‘C’, set the
flue chamber damper fully open after refuelling and reset
to position which has been found by practical experience
to give the best results. Do not try to obtain a fast
increase in temperature by opening flue chamber to its
fullest extent. This results in most of the heat being
wasted up the chimney.
Avoid excessive fire temperatures with solid fuel - they
are unnecessary and may do serious harm to the cooker.
The first symptoms of an overheated cooker is the
formation of clinker (melted ash) which will damage the
fire bricks.
Damaged firebricks should be replaced as soon as
possible but may be temporarily repaired with fire
cement.
Keep the ashpit door securely closed with the front
plate catch.
Solid fuel
The appliance is designed for continuous burning and the
best results will only be obtained if it is allowed to burn
overnight. It is no more expensive in fuel costs.
Last thing at night, de-ash the fire, empty the ashpan and
fully refuel but do not overload.
Ensure that the firebox and ashpit doors are securely
closed, and after closing the spinwheel, re-open it a
quarter of a turn.
Set the boiler thermostat knob to its minimum setting and
close the flue chamber damper plate to No. 1 setting. Set
the cooker/boiler chamber knob to ‘C’ to obtain optimum
heat into oven and hot plate.
NOTE: THE BEST POSITION FOR THE FLUE
CHAMBER DAMPER CAN BE FOUND ONLY BY
EXPERIMENT BUT ALWAYS TRY THE LOW SETTING
FIRST.
In the morning, open the spinwheel three complete turns,
