OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Country

4 Blu Stove. Your stove has been approved in smoke control areas

to burn wood logs if it is used in accordance with these instructions.

It is very important that you read and understand these instructions

before using the stove.

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and

checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried

out correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free

from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared

flue system.

If you are using your stove to burn wood logs in a smoke controlled

area, then the provided Defra Stop MUST be fitted and the

instructions on lighting and refuelling MUST be followed. This stove

will not produce significant smoke if well seasoned logs of less than

20% moisture content are burnt and these instructions are adhered

to. Burning wet (>20% moisture content) wood and operating the

stove in an irresponsible manner may produce smoke which is illegal

in smoke controlled areas.

Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard

materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the

fire. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm

persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental

contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in

accordance with BS 8423:2002.

The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.

FUEL

This stove has been designated to burn wood. Only dry well

seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet

unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on

the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason hard woods

(such as Ash, Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods (such as

Pine and Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in

considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and

then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year

but preferably two years before use.

Approximate suitable log sizes are:

225mm(10in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter

Log moisture content of less than 20% is recommended.

PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS

APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.

This stove is not designed to burn household waste.

LIGHTING

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.

At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow

any residual moisture in the chimney to evaporate.

Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters.

Put the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover

with a few small dry logs. Open the air controls – the primary air

control in the door and the airwash control - fully (see Fig. 1) Light

the paper or fire lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a

few minutes to assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more

quickly. When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more small

logs, close the door but leave the air control fully open. When the

flames are established around these logs, load the stove with the

required fuel load. Maintain the air control at maximum at this stage.

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 control

to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not leave the

stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as directed

above to avoid excessive smoke.

When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base if burning

wood, unless it is becoming too deep, in which case some of it may

be removed.

CONTROLLING THE FIRE

The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the spin

wheel and the airwash control (see Fig. 1).

The spin wheel should only be used when lighting or when rapid

burning is required. It should not be left fully open for long periods as

this can cause over-firing. For low burning it should be closed.
