MULTIFUEL GRATE

Your Charnwood stove is fitted with a multifuel grate which

enables both solid fuels and wood to be burned equally

effectively. The grate has two positions:

1) In the solid fuel position the grate bars are vertical with

gaps in between allowing the primary combustion air to come

up through the grate and through the fuel bed.

2) In the wood position the grate bars are horizontal, allowing

the combustion air to come round the sides of the grate and

over the top of it. When in the wood position ash is able to

build up on the grate as is necessary for effective wood or

peat burning.

Movement of the grate from one position to the other is

effected using the tool supplied as shown in Fig. 2. The grate is

put into the solid fuel position by moving the tool up until the

handle is in the 1 o'clock position. The grate is put into the

wood position by moving the tool down until the handle is in

the 5 o'clock position. To riddle the appliance when burning

solid fuels the tool should be moved between the 1 o'clock

and 3 o'clock positions several times. When burning wood or

peat, the ash should be allowed to build up and riddling should

only be carried out once or twice a week.

LIGHTING

CONTROLLING THE FIRE

For correct firing we recommend the use of a stove

pipe thermometer which may be purchased from your

supplier, or directly from Charnwood.

RIDDLING

Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire

lighters. Set the grate into either the wood or solid fuel

position as required. Place the paper, or fire lighters, and

kindling on the grate and cover with a few small dry logs.

Open the airwash and thermostat controls fully (see Fig. 1).

Light the paper or fire lighters. Close the doors until the fuel

is well ignited then load with fuel. Once the fire is up to

temperature the airwash system will begin to work, so allow

the fire to become hot before adjusting the air controls to the

required setting. A flue pipe thermometer is available which

will help you to get the best from your stove.

On initial lighting, the stove may smoke and give off an odour

as the silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to

the heat. This is normal and will cease after a short time, but

meanwhile the room should be kept well ventilated.

When relighting the stove, riddle slightly and then empty the

ashpan.

The rate of burning and hence the output is regulated by the

control knob on the side of the fire and the airwash control

(see Fig. 1).

The control knob is linked to a thermostat which senses the

boiler temperature. The number at the front of the knob is

the number at which it is set.

The airwash control should be kept at least slightly open most

of the time to keep the glass clean. It may be fully opened

when rapid heating is required or to help clean any deposits

from the glass. It will not be possible to keep the glass clean if

this control is fully closed, particularly immediately after

refuelling.

When burning solid fuels riddling twice a day is usually

sufficient. When burning wood logs or peat, ash should be
