ADJUSTING THE DOOR HINGES

Once the appliance has been under fire for a period
of time the fire door may appear to have moved out
of alignment with relation to the door aperture or
catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of
the casing.

The fire door can be re-aligned by the user as
follows:
•When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so

that it is at right angles to the front of the fire.

•Lift the fire door up off its hinges.
•Gently tap the hinge pins in a direction to

compensate for the misalignment (Fig. 12)

•Refit the door and check to ensure it now

sits square to the body; if not repeat above steps.

FUEL TYPES

Wood- Any type of wood is suitable provided it is
well seasoned and has a moisture content below
20%. This usually implies that the timber has been
suitably stored to allow moisture to evaporate for at
least nine months in the case of soft woods, and at
least eighteen months in the case of hard wood. We
recommend that for general burning, wood should
be split into logs of no more than 130mm (5")
diameter. Larger logs can be used for overnight
burning.

WARNING wet wood must not be used as this will
greatly contribute to the creation of tar and creosote
which may, in extreme cases, run down the
chimney in liquid form. This will seriously damage
both the chimney and the appliance, and increase
the risk of chimney fire.

Note: If you have sticky tar inside the appliance or
chimney your wood is 'Green' or too wet.

Recommended Reading:
"Wood as Fuel" available from the Forestry
Commission.

Peat- Can be used in turf or briquette form, but
again the moisture content must be low.

Paper- paper will burn successfully. Burn dry
paper only or chimney damage will occur.
NEVER BURN PLASTICS OR WASTE IN
YOUR STOVE.

Coal for Multifuel only -

Household coal

produces a large amount of ash and smoke and
chimney will require frequent cleaning. Therefore
soft house coal is not recommended.
