Page 10: Long Term Shutdown
LONG TERM SHUTDOWN If the cooking stove is to be shut down for long periods i.e. during summer months or if the appliance is in a second home that is not used all the time, precautions should be taken to avoid damage from condensation and corrosion. First ensure that the cooking stove is fully cleaned and all ash removed. - Page 11 exposing more surface area to the sun and wind, but cutting the wood to shorter lengths is of primary importance. Here’s how you can tell whether your wood is ready or not: Well seasoned firewood generally has darkened ends with cracks or splits visible, it is relatively lightweight, and makes a clear "clunk"...
- Page 12 double of that of a square metre of softwood. This means that the same volume of hardwood will provide you with more fuel to burn than an equal amount of softwood, simply because it contains more substance. (N.B. The price of hardwood will normally not be double that of softwood, because it took the same amount of labour to prepare.
- Page 13 Summarising we can say that it is always sensible to buy this year for next years fuel supply and that it is very handy to have both soft and hardwoods. You can use the softwoods to start a good fire and you will have additional control over the fire (in addition to the cookers controls) by adding slower burning wood to fast ones if you want to leave the cooker without tending it for a while.

The shelf in the Bakeheart oven has anti-pull out stops on the ends to prevent it from being pulled out inadvertently; to remove a shelf, pull forward until the stop is reached, then lift at the front and pull out of the oven. -
Page 16: Cleaning And Maintainance
CLEANING AND MAINTAINANCE The successful operation of your range cooker is entirely dependent on the adequate performance (pull) of the chimney or flue to which it is connected. The following maintenance guidelines will be pointless unless the flue is also maintained and cleaned regularly. - Page 17 Figure 10 Under the Hotplate To clean the flue way of the cook stove the hotplate must be removed. With the hotplate removed the filter can be removed from its holder and cleaned. To clean the filter it is recommended that it is just shaken vigorously for 20 seconds in a plastic bag to catch the particulate.
