Refuelling; Slow Burning; De-Ashing; Disposal Of Ashes - Stanley Ardmore Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

REFUELLING

Riddle the fire by pulling the grate riddling knob
back and forward (See Figure 15). Before opening
the door, turn the thermostat knob to setting 4 as
this will help to eliminate any smoke or fly ash resi-
dent in the combustion chamber. Add fuel to fire,
close fire door and re-set the thermostat knob to the
required setting.

SLOW BURNING

Slow burning will cause the window glass to
blacken and should not be used for a long period. It
should only be done after the fire has been estab-
lished and been funning at nominal output for a pe-
riod of time. For a prolonged show burn, fill the
firebox of fuel up to the maximum height just below
the top of the fire fence at the front of the door
opening. Close the secondary air knob fully and set
the thermostat knob to 0-1/2.

DE-ASHING

When ash build-up becomes excessive in the fire
chamber shake the firebars by pushing and pulling
the riddling rod repeatedly. The riddling rod is located
under the base at the left side of the stove.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Your stove is provided with a steel ashpan. This ash-
pan should be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the firebars by overheating. We recommend
that you remove ashes after you have riddled the fire
following overnight burn.
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-com-
bustible container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a non-com-
bustible material, pending final disposal. If ashes are
buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they should be
retained in the closed container until they are thor-
oughly cooled. Open the firedoor and remove the
ashpan using the tool provided, see Fig. 16. Close
the firedoor. When the ash is disposed of replace the
ashpan.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways
It is recommended that the flue pathways in the
stove are cleaned on a monthly basis (or less de-
pending on the soot build-up created by the fuel
being used) and the chimney cleaned annually.
When cleaning the flue pathways the boiler clean-
ing plate should be removed by lifting up the clean-
ing plate & pulling it forwards until it clears the
boiler (see Figure 17). Remove any build-up of soot
on the top of the boiler using a suitable cleaning
brush and when finished replace the boiler cleaning
plate. The boiler cleaning plate can also be re-
moved when cleaning the chimney if the flue pipe is
to the back outlet.
