LOW OR OVERNIGHT BURN

NOTE: The duration of low or overnight burn is
affected by:
Draught conditions: Excessive draught reduces
burn time. Quality of fuel load. If the stove and flue
temperature at the start of a low or overnight burn
are too high it will result in reducing burn time.
1. Allow the fire bed to cool down.
2. Re-load using full length wood (preferably
unsplit).
3. Do not pack the fuel load as high as the
secondary air tubes (item 47).
4. An air space is necessary between the fuel load
and secondary air baffle (item 47) to avoid
impingement of the secondary air on the top of
the fuel load resulting in speeding up the burn
rate.
5. Adjust the primary air control lever (item 66) to
the minimum setting by pushing it all the way
towards the back.

MAINTENANCE

DO NOT CLEAN STOVE WHEN HOT
DE-ASHING (When the fire has burned out)
When the ash build-up becomes excessive in the
fire chamber (3 / " (88mm) deep or so) it must be
1
2
removed by allowing the fire to burn out. When the
fire has burned out, open the firedoor (item 8). Pull
open the ashpit shutter (item 54). The control knob
(item 45) for this is on the left hand side of the stove.
Rake the ash into the ashpan (item 37) through the
grating (item 46) in the centre of the hearth. Push
closed the ashpit shutter (item 54) and dispose of
the ashes by removing the ashpan (item 37) from
the stove.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

Remove ash carefully. Ashes should be placed in a
metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending
final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed they should be
retained in closed container until all cinders have
thoroughly cooled.

CREOSOTE (Formation and the need for
removal)
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The Creosote vapours
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a
slow burning fire. As a result creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney
connector and chimney should be inspected at least
twice monthly during the heating season to
determine if a creosote build-up has occurred. If
creosote has accumulated it should be removed to
reduce the risk of chimney fire.
Inspect the chimney connector frequently. Tap the
connector with your finger when the pipe is cool. If
you hear a dull echo, the pipe may need cleaning.
Disassemble the chimney connector and clean the
sections. Replace corroded pipe sections. The fitting
of a slip-joint in the stove makes the dismantling
easy for cleaning and inspection of chimney and
stove.Replace the empty ashpan (item 37) in the
stove, close the ashpit door (item 13) and re-light the
fire.
When inspecting a masonry chimney, start at the
cleanout door, normally found in the basement, at
the base of the chimney, or on the outside. If your
chimney does not have a clean-out door it must be
inspected and cleaned by removing stove from
chimney.

GLASS REPLACEMENT

(a) Open the firedoor (item 8) fully.
(b) Remove the four corner screws and clips (items
70) and carefully remove the broken glass.
(c) Clean the glass recess in the door.
(d) Attach adhesive thermal tape to the perimeter of
the replacement glass.
(e) Place the thermal taped side of the glass into the
