allowed to build up and generally weekly riddling will be

sufficient. The fire should be riddled with the doors shut (see

Fig. 2). Place the tool onto the riddling lever and rotate

between the 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock positions several times.

Too much riddling can result in emptying unburnt fuel into the

ashpan and should therefore be avoided. If any clinker forms it

should be removed from the firebed. After riddling, the grate

should be put back into the solid fuel or wood position as

required (the tool should be in the 1 o'clock position for solid

fuel or in the 5 o'clock position for wood).

Keep the firebox well filled but do not overfill to prevent fuel

from spilling over the top of the front fire bars.

Take especial care that logs do not project over the front fire

bars or damage to the glass may be caused when the doors

are closed. It can also cause the glass to blacken. Maximum

filling height is such that fuel cannot fall from the fire when the

doors are opened. Liquid fuels are not to be used on this

stove.

The ashpans should be emptied regularly before they become

too full. Never allow the ash to accumulate in the ashpans so

that it comes in contact with the underside of the grate as this

will seriously damage the grate bars. The ashpans are handled

using the tool 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.

When loading the stove take care not to smother the fire.

Instead, fill the firebox in two stages, waiting between each

stage for the flames to appear above the fire.

After a period of slumbering always turn the air control up to

maximum and wait until flames appear above the fuel bed

before opening the doors.

ASH CLEARANCE

SPECIAL POINTS WHEN BURNING COAL

Burning coal will produce more soot deposits than other

fuels, especially if the fire is run at low levels for long periods.

It is therefore vital to clean the throat plate regularly, weekly

cleaning is recommended. Please also note that when burning

coal, some blackening of the glass may occur.

Never fully close the airwash control when burning coal.

The grate should be kept in the wood burning position and

should not be riddled until the ash becomes so deep that it

begins to block the passage of air into the firebox at the side

of the grate. When this is the case do not remove all of the

ash using the riddling mechanism but keep a layer about half

an inch thick as this enables the wood to burn more

effectively. When burning wood or peat use the airwash

control in the same way as described (see "Controlling the

Fire").

For overnight burning the fire doors must be closed.

When burning solid fuel the ashpans should be emptied and

the fire riddled. If the fire is very low then it may be necessary

to add a little fuel and turn the thermostat control up to

maximum for a brief period until the fire is burning brightly

before filling with fuel. When the new fuel has ignited, the

thermostat control should be turned down to the required

setting and the airwash control moved to a low setting. If the

central heating pump is off overnight then the thermostat

may be left at the same setting for both day and night

operation. If the central heating pump is on overnight then set

the thermostat control to give the required level of heating.

Some experimentation will be necessary to find the settings

most suitable for the particular fuel used and the draw on the

chimney.

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

controls to maximum. When the fire is burning well, load on

more fuel as necessary and move the air controls to the
