Clean Air Act requirements. The Salamander Range model 1701 SE has been fitted with modified primary and secondary air controls to ensure that the requirements or the clean air act are met.
2 – Unpacking the Salamander Range TAKE CARE Remember the Range is made of cast iron and is very heavy. Carefully open the firebox door and remove the packing. Inside the Range will be the following items Packing list for the Salamander Range 1701 Grate and grate centre installed.
Check that the grate and grate centre is located correctly and sitting horizontal in the stove. Check the riddling mechanism operates and moves freely. Picture shows how the back and side air boxes and baffle locate together when installed in the firebox.
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY For your safety it is very important that your Range is correctly installed. Salamander Stoves cannot accept any responsibility for any fault arising through incorrect installation or use. Regulations All national and local regulations, including those referring to national and European standards need to be complied with when installing the Range.
Wood Use only seasoned timber with a moisture content of less than 20%. Typically this means wood which has been cut and stored in an open dry shelter for between one and two years. Logs up to a maximum length of 200mm (8 inches) are suitable for use in the Range.
Lighting a wood fire Open the primary air control approx 1cm by turning anti-clockwise. (The circular • wheel in the centre of the bottom door) Open the secondary air control fully by moving the lever fully to the left (Top right •...
Remember Wood that is smouldering and producing smoke with no flame, is burning very inefficiently and producing unburnt gases and soot that deposit on the inside of the Range, flue and the door glass. Wood burns best when lying on a bed of about 1cm of ash. Burning the Range too slowly (with the secondary air valve closed for too long) is not recommended as this is very inefficient and produces unburnt gases and deposits in the Range and flue.
The action of riddling the grate will allow ash to fall from bed of the fire into the ash pan underneath. To riddle the grate place the forked end of the tool in the slot in the riddling lever located between the hinges of the bottom door.
• The temperature of the hotplate will vary across its length. The coldest section is to the left, and the hottest section in front of the oven control. Adjust the position of pans from left to right to achieve low (warming), medium (simmer) or •...
WARNING It is recommended that the Oven Temperature control is used in the “1” Position (Hottest) for limited periods only. If the Range is on low fire there is an increased risk that the flue temperature may drop below 115 Deg C and tar may form in the chimney. 7 –...
Raise the alarm and evacuate the building Call the fire brigade Do not re-enter the building Fumes If installed, operated and maintained correctly the Range will not emit fumes into the room other than occasionally very small amounts when re-fuelling or de-ashing. If fumes are being emitted during normal operation Ventilate the room by opening all doors and windows.
Gaskets The rope gaskets in both doors will need regular inspection to check the condition and ensure that the doors seal and full control of the air supply to the fire can be maintained. Firebox glass Clean the firebox glass only when cool with a specialist glass cleaner. Use of any abrasive cleaner will scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult.
