NOTE: THE RED FEED ADJUSTMENT TAB IS A FINE THREAD AND ONE-TWO TURNS IN
EITHER DIRECTION
5. After several hours of run time the stove will no longer require any adjustment. As the burning coal moves
down the grate and burns, it will be replaced by coal from the hopper, thus maintaining an endless fire.
Making Manual Adjustments periodically throughout the heating season may be required due to outside
temperature. The underlining principal is the larger the fire the more heat. If the area becomes too warm
then adjusting the size of the fire patch will reduce the temperature
6. DO NOT TURN OFF THE CONVECTION FORCED HOT AIR BLOWER WHEN OPERATING
A STOVE IN MANUAL MODE. IF THE AREA IS TOO HOT REDUCE THE SIZE OF THE
FIRE. TURNING OFF THE CONVECTION BLOWER COULD CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
STOVE AND VOID WARRANTY.
D: BURN TIME
How long can a coal stove run on a full hopper of coal? The length of time a coal stove can burn unattended will
vary. Burning 60 to 80 pounds per day in the middle of the heating season is quite possible. Early fall or late
spring, you'll burn less. A Pel-trol Thermostat will give you the most efficient, even heating and give you the
longest burn time. Manual Adjustment control of the stove works best when the stove will operate at a high
temperature continuously. What Reading Stove Company considers maximum feed, 80 to 120 plus pounds per
day is possible. Outside air temperature, the energy rating of the structure, and actual square footage are just a few
elements need to be considered when trying to determine burn time.
E. ASH CONTROL AND REMOVAL
Check the ash pan daily and empty as needed. Do not allow ashes to pile up in the base of the heater or overflow
the ash pan.
Disposal of Ashes: Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or 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 the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to start or
"freshen up" a fire in this heater. Keep all such liquids well away from the heater while it is in use.
CAUTION: Always use insulated gloves to remove the ash pan.
If too many ashes are allowed to accumulate, the vent to the chimney may become blocked and allow coal gas to
enter the home. A spare ash pan is recommended to facilitate ease of ash removal. See your Dealer regarding this
option.
NOTE: Fueling and ash removal doors must remain closed when in operation.
