OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
'click position' or for low burning to the fully closed position.
When the fire is burning normally the air control gives enough
airwash to keep the glass clean. However, it will not always be
possible to keep the glass clean with the air control fully closed.
correct firing we recommend the use of a stove pipe thermometer
which may be purchased from your supplier or from Charnwood.
REFUELLING
Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.
Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
refuelling until the flames are established above the fire. It is best to
refuel on to a hot bed of embers. If at this point the fire starts to die,
the door must be cracked open until the fire is revived. If the fire has
started to die down before refuelling, then more kindling wood must
be added, the air control opened fully and the door cracked open to
re-establish the firebed before adding larger logs (see suitable log
sizes in Fuel section). This will avoid excessive smoke emission.
Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel does
not project over the fuel retainer or damage to the glass may be
caused when the door is closed. It can also cause the glass to blacken
up. Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire
when the door is opened.
Maximum filling height is such that logs cannot fall from the fire when
the door is opened. In smoke controlled areas do not fill then stove
above the level of the air holes in the back bricks, as overloading can
cause excess smoke.
Do not operate with the door left open except as directed by the
instructions as this can cause excessive smoke.
ASH CLEARANCE
For optimum wood burning, it is important to leave a layer of ash
around 1cm thick on the base of the stove. Before removing ash
ensure that it has cooled down, scoop out the remaining ash and
empty into a metal container. Please avoid emptying hot ash into
plastic liners or bins.
To make ash removal easier there are scoops and ash carriers
available. These may be purchased from your supplier or, in case of
difficulty, from Charnwood.
If an Optional Wood Ash Removal Grate is fitted, the Ashpan should
be emptied regularly before it becomes too full. Never allow the ash
to accumulate in the ashpan so that it comes in contact with the
underside of the grate as this will seriously damage the grate bars.
For
The ashpan is handled using the Door Opening tool and gloves
provided. Ensure that the tool is fully engaged before lifting (See
Fig.4). When carrying the ashpan, it should be kept horizontal and
supported by the carrying handle to prevent it falling off the tool.

REDUCED BURNING
For reduced burning the fire door must be closed.
When burning wood in areas that are not smoke controlled, load
some large logs on the fire and allow to burn for half an hour before
closing the air control (this will help to reduce tar deposits in the
chimney). Some experimentation may be necessary to find the setting
most suitable for the type of fuel being used and the draw on the
chimney.
MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
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, high temperature paints are available
from your supplier or from stove shops.
Cleaning the Glass
Most deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire
at a fast rate for a few minutes. If it becomes necessary to clean the
glass then open the door and allow it to cool. Clean the glass using a
damp cloth and then wiping over with a dry cloth. Any stubborn
deposits on the glass may be removed with a proprietary stove glass
cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads
as these can scratch the surface which will weaken the glass and cause
premature failure
