2. Open the primary air control (spin valve) by turning it fully anticlockwise (see Figure 10).
3. Set the secondary air slider to the required position depending on the fuel being burned i.e. open
when burning wood/coal and closed when burning anthracite (see Figure 11).
4. Open the window wash control by sliding it to the right (See Figure 11).
5. Place pieces of paper & kindling on the top of the grate and add a small quantity of fuel. Light the fire
and close the firebox door.
6. When a good fire is established, open the fire door and load the fuel as required.
7. Adjust the air controls as required depending on the fuel type being used & the heat output required
(see Table below). All controls should be adjusted in conjunction with each other to get the
appropriate burn rate with exact settings on each control depending on the draught conditions of the
chimney to which the unit is connected.

SLOW BURNING

Slow burning will cause the window glass to blacken and should not be used for a long period. Opening the
air controls will increase the heat output and should remove most of the soot deposits from the glass.

Riddle the fire using the grate operating tool before refuelling. This is done by fitting the
operating tool to the grate pull rod and gently pushing it in & out so has to rotate the
moveable grate (see Figure 12). Before opening the door, open the spin valve fully and
then add fuel as required ensuring not to overfill the fuel higher than the firebars. Close
the fire door & reset the spin valve to the desired setting.
It is not necessary to riddle the fire prior to refuelling unless the bed of ash on the grate
is affecting the desired burning of the fuel. When burning wood always close the spin
valve fully during the riddling operation. Before opening the door, open the air controls
fully and then add fuel as required ensuring not to overfill the fuel higher than the fire
bars. Close the fire door & reset the air controls to the desired setting.
Close the secondary air slider & air wash control fully and partially open the spin valve
as desired.
