Air Controls
Primary Air
Primary air is controlledvia the tworotary air controlson the |ottom of the 4oor-
This providesa conventionalair draughtto the bed of the fire. The primary air intakes
canbe adjustedto givethe bestpossibleresultswhenburning {ifferent fuels.
Secondary Air
The castiron stove
is fitted with a sophisticated air wash system.
This secondary
air
supplyto the stove
is controlledthrougha slider assembly
locatedat the top of the stove.
Multifuel Grate
Your FirewarmStove
is fitted with a rotary style grate,
which is operated
from the front
of the stove
via a riddle rod. Usethe Hook end of tool to operate
the riddling system.
This rotary grateis locatedin the centreof a castiron flat bed with suitableair slotsthat
assist
the burning of most
fuels. It is importantto usethe rotary grateto cle-ash
regularly,
to ensure
that the primary airÍlow is not impeded,
asa build-up of ashcan damage
the
cast
iron bed.
Ashpan
It is essential
that you emptythe ashpan
regularly. Usethe T end of tool to lift the
ashpan
out of the stove.
Notes on solid nineral fuel burning
Solid mineral fuel shouldbe placed in the stove
sothat there is no morethan a 36;egree
incline of the fuelbedfrom front to back. It shouldnot be stacked
atrove
the level of the
rear Burn Plate asthis mayresult in damage
to the stove-
With a full load of fuel, the stove
will needto be refuelled approximately
once
every 2-
4 hours.Solid mineral fuel burns most
efficiently with the secondary
air control in the
closed
position-The primary air controlscanthen be usedto control the burn rate of the
stove.
Always de-ash before refuelling and do not let the ash build up to the underside of the
grate bars- Solid mineral fuel produces ash, which if allowed to build up will srifle the
airÍlow through the grate. This will eventually cause the fire to die.
With some solid mineral fuels a residue of burnt fuel or clinker will accumulate on the
grate, allow the fire to go out periodically to remove this.
Important! We cannot stress firmly enough how important it is to empty the ashpan
regularly. Air passing through the firebed cools the grate. Distortion or burning out the
grate is nearly always caused by ash being allowed to build up to the underside of the
grate-
