to clean the throat plate regularly, weekly cleaning is recommended.
Keep the firebox well filled (the fuel may be sloped up from the front
fire bars), but do not allow the fuel to spill over the top of the front
fire bars. Take care, especially when burning wood, that the fuel does
not project over the front fire bars or damage to the glass may be
caused when the doors are closed.
Riddling twice a day is usually sufficient when
burning solid fuel. When burning wood, ash should be allowed to
build up and only riddled when the ash begins to cover the slots in
the rear fireplate.
