5 C OVEN / HOTPLATE CONTROL (spinner) see FIG 1 C

On the front of the cooker; midway between the primary and secondary controls; is the control that, when turned to

the right, sends the hot gases directly to the hotplate, bypassing the oven. When turned to the left, the hot gases flow

around the oven heating it up to allow for cooking.

5 D LIGHTING BYPASS CONTROL see FIG 1 D

Above the fascia of the stove and just below the hotplate is a lever with a chromed handle. This is used only when

lighting the cooker. With the lever pushed in the exhaust gases flow directly to the chimney and this facilitates easy

lighting. Once the fire is going well and burning cleanly, the lever should be pulled fully out. This diverts the hot

gasses around the oven. Diverting the gasses too soon will send tar and cold smoke round the oven and will insulate

all the surfaces that make contact with the dirty smoke. DO NOT operate the diverter control until the smoke is hot

and clean.

5 E OVER-FIRING WARNING

IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT

TO LEAVE ALL OF THE AIR CONTROLS FULLY OPEN. LEAVING THE

AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN WILL LEAD TO “OVER-FIRING”. OVER-FIRING IS CAUSED WHEN TOO MUCH

HEAT IS GENERATED WITHIN THE FIRE CHAMBER, THIS WILL LEAD TO WARPING, BUCKLING AND

GENERAL DAMAGE TO THE STOVE AND ITS INTERNAL COMPONENTS. OVER-FIRING CAN ALSO BE

CAUSED BY RUNNING THE APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR(S) OPEN OR IF YOU HAVE AN EXCESSIVE FLUE

DRAW. PLEASE NOTE ANY DAMAGE TO THE APPLIANCE CAUSED THROUGH OVER-FIRING WILL NOT BE

COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

6 USING THE OVEN

After having cleaned out the grate, load it with fuel. By adjusting the primary and secondary air controls, according to

the type of fuel being used (see paragraph 9), the rate of burn and thus the temperature of the oven can be regulated.

The flue draft on the chimney will need to be correct for the fuel to burn efficiently and the appliance achieve the

output to which it has been tested. Ensure that the lighting bypass control is fully pulled out and that the oven /

hotplate control is turned to the left.

Dishes can be placed on different levels within the oven. Large cakes and roasts are best put on the lowest level,

shallow cakes, tarts and biscuits in the middle. The top level is used for reheating or browning.

7 GRILLING

With the ‘Suprema Grand’ model, it is possible to

use the stove for grilling as well. To do this the

firebox door must be opened and the external hood

put into place (see figure 2). The grill can then be

put into the cooker.

The air controls should be set as follows:

Primary and secondary should both be closed,

that’s turned fully clockwise. The oven/hotplate

control should be turned to the right.

The lighting bypass control should be on that is

pushed towards the back of the cooker.

To improve the performance when grilling, it is

possible to raise the grate. See following

paragraph 8.
