OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

REFUELLING

Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top

of the fuel retainer.

Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most

pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after

refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to

refuel on to a hot bed of ash. If at this point the fire starts to die, the

door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has

started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must

be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open to

re-establish the firebed before adding larger logs (see suitable log

sizes in Specification). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.

Care should be taken that wood does not project over the fuel

retainer or damage to the glass may be caused when the door is

closed. It can also cause the glass blackening of the glass. Maximum

filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire when the door

is opened. In smoke controlled areas do not fill the stove above the

level of the air holes in the back bricks, as overloading can cause

excess smoke. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this appliance.

The ashpan (Bay 5GT) should be emptied regularly before it becomes

too full. Never allow the ash to accumulate in the ashpan so that it

comes in contact with the underside of the grate as this will seriously

damage the grate bars. The ashpan is handled using the tool and

gloves provided. Care should be taken to ensure that ash is cool

before emptying it into plastic liners or bins.

To make ash removal easier there is a special Charnwood ash carrier

available. This may be purchased from your supplier or, in case of

difficulty, directly from Charnwood.

For reduced burning the fire door must be closed.

When burning wood in areas that are not smoke controlled, load

some large logs on the fire and allow to burn for half an hour before

closing the air control (this will help to reduce tar deposits in the

chimney). Some experimentation may be necessary to find the setting

most suitable for the type of fuel being used and the draw on the

chimney.

To revive the fire, empty the ashpan , riddle the fire, and open the air

control to maximum. When the fire is burning well load on more fuel

as necessary and adjust the air control to the desired setting.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

The Bay VL is finished with vitreous enamel to clean the surfaces

simply wipe over with a dry cloth or soft brush when the appliance is

cold. Abrasive pads and scouring cleaners must not be used as these

will damage the finish. Care should be taken not to knock the enamel

with hard objects as it will chip. The Bay 5 and Bay 5GT are finished

with high temperature paint. Should re-painting become necessary,

high temperature paints are available from your supplier or from

stove shops, or in case of difficulty, directly from Charnwood.

Cleaning the Glass

When Not in Use

If the fire is going to be out of use for a long period (for instance in

the summer) then to prevent condensation, and hence corrosion, the

air control should be left fully open and the fire door left ajar. It Is

also advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying

the inside of the door and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will

also help to keep all internal parts working well.

Door Seals

For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals

are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or

frayed and replace them when necessary.

Servicing

It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in

first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly,

check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing any

parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the door

seals are in good condition and that the door seals correctly.

Repairs or modifications may only be carried out by the Manufacturer

or their approved agents. Use only genuine Charnwood replacement

parts.

The glass in the door is a special ceramic glass which is able to

withstand high temperatures. Most deposits on the glass may be

burnt off simply by running the fire at a fast rate for a few minutes. If

it becomes necessary to clean the glass then open the door and allow

it to cool. Clean the glass using a damp cloth and then wiping over

with a dry cloth. Any stubborn deposits on the glass may be removed

with a proprietary stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.

Aerosol spray cleaners must not be used near the appliance whilst it

is under fire.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads as these can scratch the surface

which will weaken the glass and cause premature failure.

After long periods

where the fire has been out of use, the chimney and appliance

flueways should be cleaned before lighting.
