Slow Burning; De-Ashing; Maintenance; Grate Removal & Cleaning - Stanley Cara Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

When burning wood the requirement to riddle the
fire is much less. Do not riddle the fire with the spin-
wheel open but fully open the secondary air control
instead. Remember to reset the controls after
refuelling.

SLOW BURNING

To achieve slow burning when burning wood close
the secondary air slide and open a few millimetres
using the tool provided. Slow burning will cause the
window glass to blacken and should not be used for
a long period as it will leave sooty deposits in the
flueways. Opening the air slide will increase the
heat output and will clear the glass.
To obtain slow burning when burning coal, close the
secondary air fully and partially open the spin valve.

DE-ASHING

Never allow the ashpan to over fill as it will cause
damage to the grate. Empty the ashpan before
lighting. Always ensure that ashes have thoroughly
cooled before removing the ashpan. Open the fire
door and remove ashpan using the operating tool.
Close the fire door. When the ash is disposed of,
replace the empty ashpan. (See Fig.18) Do not
leave the fire unattended with the fire door open,
even for a minute.
WARNING - NEVER DISPOSE OF ASH WHEN
STOVE IS LIGHTING.

MAINTENANCE

GRATE REMOVAL & CLEANING
Over time fuel deposits, clinker & ash can lodge
between the grate and grate support which can
cause difficulties when moving the grate during de-
ashing. To help reduce this occurrence, it is recom-
mended that the grate is cleaned on a monthly basis
when undertaking the general cleaning of the flue
pathways using the following procedure:
1. The grate is removed by removing the ashpan
and then lifting the grate out of the grate insert
from underneath the grate (see Fig 19).
2. When replacing the grate, ensure that the fork on
the underside of the grate is located over the
grate pull rod (see Fig 20 & 21) and pull the grate
pull rod to check that the grate is riddling.
