OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL
Before lighting the stove, check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out
correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire. Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is
alight. There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
FUEL
Only dry, well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as
burning wet, unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in
the stove, on the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason
hard woods (such as Ash, Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods
(such as Pine and Spruce). Burning wet, unseasoned wood will also
result in considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and
split and then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least
one year, but preferably two years, before use and should have a
moisture content of less than 20%. Logs should be no more than
480mm long, and 75mm wide.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS
APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste. For advice on
other fuels, please contact Charnwood.
DOOR OPERATION
The door handle has been carefully designed so that in normal use it
may be operated using bare hands. However, if you need to open the
doors when the fire is running at maximum, then the use of the glove
provided may be required.
Take care not to touch the doors as they will be hot when the fire is
burning. Pull the door handle up to open, and push down to close.
The stove should be run with the door shut.

FAN OPERATION
The Bay 5GT has a convection fan for effective heat distribution to
the room. There is a thermal cut out linked into the fan control. This
means the fan will not operate until the stove warms up, and will cut
out automatically once the stove cools down again. The fan is turned
on and off at the mains supply. The fans can be turned off, or set to a
higher speed, using the switch at the base of the stove.
