Operation - Warmington Southern Series Installation Instructions Manual

OPERATION

Storing/Drying Fuel
Damp wood is dried naturally while it is stored. Use dry timber preferably cut and stored under cover from the previous year.
Burn Control and Operation
The primary air control (damper knob) regulates the amount of air drawn into the stove and thus the combustion rate. Turing the air
control clockwise will let more air into the fire thus giving you a higher peak power output, shorter burn time. Turning the air control knob
anti-clockwise will give you a longer burn time, however you will get a lower peak power output.
•
When lighting the stove, the air control should be fully open (turn the air control wooden ball clockwise).
•
Place paper or fire lighters into the base of the firebox.
•
Arrange kindling on top of paper or firelighters, allowing air to move easily through the kindling.
•
Light the fire around the base to ensure good ignition of paper or firelighters.
•
Leave the door ajar 5 to 10 mm to aid with speedy ignition of the fire. Do not run the fire for long periods with the door ajar as
damage may result.
•
When the fire is happily burning the main fuel loads can be placed into the fire, from the front to the rear in a lined pattern, ensuring
that the flames can easily move through the fuel load.
•
Close the door to ensure a seal to the firebox.
•
Once the fire is fully established and burning brightly the air supply can be considerably reduced to control heat output (and fuel
consumption). Note, the air control is designed such that even when fully closed some air still enter the firebox. This keeps
unwanted flue emissions to a minimum.
DAMPER CONTROL POSITION
Damper knob
Turn clockwise to open (more air)
Turn anticlockwise to close (less air)
Removing Ashes
When you use your fire for a few weeks you will find that ashes accumulate in the firebox. The ashes can be removed easily through the
fire door when the fire is at its lowest, such as first thing in the morning, or when it is completely out. The amount of charcoal in the ash is
often a good indicator of how well you are operating the heater. If there is no charcoal and only very fine ash then you are doing an
excellent job. If there is a lot of charcoal you may be turning the combustion air down to soon after refueling, or not raking the charcoal to
the combustion air inlet, or turning the combustion air down too low to support efficient combustion, or all of the above. Warmington wood-
burning appliances work best when a small amount of ash is left approximately 25mm deep in the firebox after cleaning, this aids with
stable burning. The ash should be placed in a noncombustible container with a tightly fitting lid and moved outdoors immediately to a
location clear of combustible materials.
Cooking
Because the top of the fire is in the flue gas path, it offers a large cooking surface. Ideal for entertainment at home or cooking for holiday
homes and farm cottages. If spillage occurs, clean the surface with a soft cloth and dish washing liquid, avoid scratching the surface.
