AIR CONTROLS
The stove has two air controls the primary and sec-
ondary. The primary air control is a spin wheel locat-
ed in the middle of the door.
To operate the primary air control, rotate the wheel
in an anti-clockwise direction to open (increase air
supply) and clockwise to close (decrease air sup-
ply). See Fig 15.
The secondary air control is a slider mechanism
located at the left hand side of the door, slide the
lever to the bottom of the slot to open the air supply
and slide it to the top of the slot to close off the air
supply. Both air supplies can be partially closed by
selecting a point between open and closed. The air
controls are hot when the fire is in operation. Use
the glove provided when setting air controls or open-
ing and closing the fuelling door. See Fig.16
For most efficient use of different fuels the controls
need to be operated differently, during the ignition
period both air controls can be fully open, when the
fire is established the controls need to be adjusted.
When burning smokeless fuels the secondary air
control can be closed off however a little secondary
air may be required to maintain a clean glass, the
burn rate is controlled by the primary air control.
When burning wood the primary air control should
be adjusted to a maximum of one turn open after the
fire has established, when wood is very well sea-
soned no primary air is required, the burn rate can
then be controlled using the secondary air control.
Warning
Leaving both air control controls fully open can
lead to overheating the stove and damaging the
internal components.

RECOMMENDED FUELS

This appliance has been tested and approved using
mineral smokeless fuels. The quoted efficiency and
output relate to burning such fuels, whilst the appli-
ance is capable of burning other solid fuels the out-
put and performance will be different from values
given. Other fuels are commercially available and
may give similar results. Do not use fuels with a
Petro-coke ingredient as this may cause the grate to
overheat, causing damage. Reduced outputs will
result when fuels of lower calorific value are used.
All fuels should be stored under cover and kept as
dry as possible prior to use.

DOOR HANDLE OPERATION

The stove is supplied with a detachable door handle.
To open the door, insert the silver end of the handle
into the door latch on the fire door, turn the handle
clockwise and pull the door towards you. To close
the door, insert the handle into the door latch as
Fig.16
before, push the door closed, turn the handle anti-
clockwise to engage the door catch and remove the
door handle.
NOTE:
PERMANENTLY FIXED TO THE UNIT AND
SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS OUTLINED ABOVE.
RE-FUELLING
When refuelling with manufactured smokeless fuel
riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove. Then gently pull and push the
rocker arm until all dead ash has fallen through into
the ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin
valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to
eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-
bustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to
overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not
operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See
Fig.17)
