Disposal Of Ashes; Hints On Fire Safety; Fuels; Lighting The Fire - Stanley Errigal Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.

HINTS ON FIRE SAFETY

To provide reasonable fire safety the following
should be given serious consideration:
1. The installation of smoke detectors.
2. A conveniently located Class A fire
extinguisher.
3. A practical evacuation plan.
4. A plan to deal with chimney fire as follows:
(a) Notify the fire department
(b) Prepare occupants for immediate
evacuation.
(c) Close all openings into the stove
(d) While awaiting fire department,
watch for ignition of adjacent com
bustibles from overheated stove pipe
or hot embers or sparks from the
chimney.
NOTE: Inspect the chimney flue weekly until a safe
frequency is established.

FUELS

Wood logs up to 406 mm (16").

LIGHTING THE FIRE

Open the fire door (Part no. 57), lay a few crumpled
sheets of paper on the bottom grate (Part no. 41)
then a few small dry pieces of sticks or kindling.
Open the spin wheel (Part no. 58) fully by rotating it
in an anti-clockwise direction.
damper (Part no. 63) to open by using the operating
tool. Now light the paper, close the fire door (Part
no. 57) when the kindling has caught fire (allow 15
minutes for this to happen) add larger pieces of dry
wood, until the fire box is half filled. When the larg-
er pieces of wood have caught fire, add full sized
logs.

CONTROLLING THE FIRE

The chimney damper must be kept closed except
when lighting the fire. Combustion is governed by
using the spin-wheel (Part No. 58) which controls
both primary and secondary air supply to the firebox.
The oven damper (Part No. 63) under the round hot-
plate (Part No. 20) reduces the chimney draught.
You will get to know how to use the spin-wheel (Part
No. 58) and the oven damper (Part No. 63) in con-
junction for the best results. Remember NOT to try
to get a quick temperature increase by opening the
chimney damper. Keep the ashpit door (Part No. 3)
closed securely except when de-ashing the fire.
Keep the firedoor (Part No. 57) closed securely
except when fuelling from the front. Loading fre-
quency of the fuel depends on burn rate. Once they
are well alight, logs need little draught to maintain
combustion.
K E E P A L L COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT
LEAST 1220mm (4 feet) AWAY FROM THE
RANGE.
They include rugs, fabrics, furnishings, papers, fire-
wood, etc. NEVER dry clothing on or within 1220mm
(4 feet) of the range.
