MUlTI-FUel GRATe
1.17 To de-ash the firebed, using the riddling grate system,
operate by using the removable handle to pull the operating
knob in and out. This causes the ash to fall down into the
ashpan
1.18 Never operate the grate with your bare hands.
.1 When new, it is best to burn the fire at a low output for
the first few days of use. This will allow the construction to
settle and all fixing glues and paint to fully cure.
Avoid touching the paint during the first period of use.
. During this time the stove may give off some unpleasant
odours, and we recommend that you keep the room well
ventilated during this period to avoid a build-up of fumes.
.1 Open the Airwash control fully and open the Primary air
control to approximately 25% open.
. Place some pieces of firelighter or dry crumpled paper on
the grate and cover with some small pieces of dry kindling
wood. Light the paper or firelighters.
. To avoid the build-up of condensation on the door glass
it is advisable to leave the door slightly open as the fire
establishes, and the glass warms.
.4 As the fire becomes established add larger pieces of wood
and fully close the door. do not leave the stove with the
door open as this could over-fire the stove and cause
permanent damage.
.5 As the fire becomes established close the Primary air control
and control the burn rate using the Airwash control only.
.6 To burn wood efficiently it is best to allow a bed of ash to
build-up on the grate, or the base of the stove, and control
the combustion using the Airwash control only.
.7 Before re-fuelling the stove it is advisable to first rake the
embers evenly over the firebed then open the Airwash
control fully for a few minutes, to establish a glowing bed
before adding new logs.
.8 Allow the new logs to burn at high output for a few minutes
before adjusting the burn rate, with the Airwash control,
to the desired setting. It is best to refuel little and often to
maintain clean and efficient burning.
.9 The ideal control settings to suit the particular installation
and personal preferences will be established by experience
in using the stove.
.10 Do not load fuel higher than the log guard at the front of
the stove and the secondary combustion air inlet holes at
the back of the fire box.
.11 It is not recommended to load large amounts of logs and
burn with the Airwash control on low settings for long
periods of time. This will reduce the effectiveness of the
glass cleaning effect of the airwash. Also this will cause a
large build-up of tars and creosotes in the stove and flue
system.
