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

refuel on to a hot bed of embers. 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 Fuel section). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.

Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel 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 to blacken

up. 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.

Do not operate with the door left open except as directed by the

instructions as this can cause excessive smoke.

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.

Cleaning

ASH CLEARANCE

For optimum wood burning, it is important to leave a layer of ash,

around 1cm thick, on the base of the stove. If the ash is becoming too

deep, clear the top layer of ash cleared using the scoop provided.

The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will

withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may be

cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should re-

painting become necessary, high temperature paints are available

from your supplier or from stove shops.

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. 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.

It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept

clean in order to prevent potentially dangerous fume emission. Check

by looking up into the firebox for signs of soot or fly-ash on the

throat plate and sides of the firebox. If there are signs of a build up of

soot or fly-ash then cleaning is necessary. Cleaning should occur at

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. A

servicing guide is available on request. Repairs or modifications may

only be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents.

Use only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.
