RECOMMENDED FUELS
This appliance has been tested using seasoned
wood logs and manufactured smokeless fuels.
Other fuels are commercially available and may give
similar results. Do not use fuels with a Petro-coke
ingredient as this may cause the grate to overheat,
causing damage. Reduced outputs will result when
fuels of lower calorific value are used. All fuels
should be stored under cover and kept as dry as
possible prior to use.
This stove has obtained HETAS Ltd approval for
burning natural and manufactured smokeless fuels
and wood logs only as detailed in recommended
fuels. HETAS Approval does not cover the use of
other fuels either alone or mixed with the recom-
mended fuels listed, nor does it cover instructions
for the use of other fuels.

RE-FUELLING
When refuelling with manufactured smokeless fuel
riddle the fire by connecting the grate operating tool
onto the rocker connection located at the bottom
front of the stove, then gently pull and push the rock-
er arm until all dead ash has fallen through into the
ashpan. Before opening the door, open the spin
valve by turning it anti-clockwise, as this will help to
eliminate any smoke or fly ash resident in the com-
bustion chamber. Add fuel to fire, taking care not to
overfill higher than the front firebars. Close fire door
and re-set spin valve to required setting. Do not
operate this appliance with the fire door open. (See
Fig.8)
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 refu-
elling.

OVERNIGHT BURNING
When burning manufactured smokeless fuels, to
achieve a slow burning rate close the spin valve
fully, then open it about half a turn. This may be less
depending on draught conditions. If the fuel load is
too small, or the draught is too strong, the spin valve
may have to be closed, to sustain the burn rate.
This will be found by trial and error by adjusting the
amount of air and fuel load, depending upon the fuel
left at the end of the burning period.
