OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ASH CLEARANCE
For optimum wood burning, it is important to leave a layer of ash,
around 1cm thick, on the base of the stove. If the ash is becoming
too deep, the appliance should be riddled (Bay 5GT) or the top layer
of ash cleared using the scoop provided (Bay 5 & Bay VL).
For advice on how and when to empty the ashpan (Bay 5GT), see p8.
RIDDLING GRATE (BAY 5GT)
The Charnwood Bay 5GT is fitted with a riddling grate to enable
wood to be burned and ash to be cleared. The grate bars can be
rotated to the vertical position to clear an excessive build up of ash.
To riddle the appliance, use the gloves provided and pull the riddler
handle rapidly in and out several times (see Fig. 2). For effective
wood burning, ash should be allowed to build up and riddling should
only be carried out once or twice a week.

CONTROLLING THE FIRE
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the air
control (see Fig. 3).
Open the air control fully when lighting or when rapid burning is
required. It should not be left fully open for long periods as this can
cause over-firing or excessive smoke production. For high output
move the air control to the 'High Output' 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.
