OVERNIGHT BURNING

SPECIAL POINTS WHEN

BURNING WOOD

MAINTENANCE

For overnight burning the fire doors must be closed. Use large logs

rather than small ones.

If the fire is very low, 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. 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, 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, add some small logs and open the thermostat

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

as necessary and move the thermostat control to the desired setting.

The grate should be kept in the closed 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 sides or back 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 lighting the fire a few small

dry logs with a good amount of kindling will help to get the fire up to

temperature quickly.

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 then special high temperature paints are

available from your supplier or from Charnwood.

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

withstand high temperatures. Before cleaning the glass open the

doors and allow them to cool. Clean the glass using a damp cloth and

then wipe over with a dry cloth. Any stubborn deposits on the glass

may be removed with a proprietary stove glass cleaner or ceramic

hob cleaner. Some deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by

Cleaning

Cleaning the Glass

running the fire at a fast rate for a few minutes. Do not use abrasive

cleaners or pads as these can scratch the surface which will weaken

the glass and cause premature failure. Aerosol spray cleaners should

not be used near the appliance whilst it is under fire.

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 doors left ajar. It is

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

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

will also help to keep all internal parts working well.

After long periods where the fire has been out of use, the chimney

and appliance flueways should be cleaned before lighting.

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.

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 doors

seals are in good condition and that the doors seal 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.

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

clean. They should be checked approximately once a week, by

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

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

soot or fly-ash deposits then the fire must be let out in order to clean

the throat plate and flueways.

Before attempting to clean the throat plate and flueways ensure that

the fire is cold. Wear suitable gloves to prevent irritation from soot

deposits. To remove the throat plate lift the whole plate up until it

comes clear of the rear brackets, then swing the back edge forwards

and unhook(see Fig. 4).
