FITTING THE WOOD ASH REMOVAL
GRATE
Tools Required:
10mm Socket
Pozidriv screwdriver
Before fitting the wood ash removal grate (Fig. 1) remove the fuel
retainer and the wood ash retainer. The wood ash retainer is not
required when the riddling grate is fitted.
Undo the nut on the riddling blanking hole using a 10mm socket.
Remove the cover and spacing washer (ensure you keep these in a
safe place as you will need to replace them if the riddling grate is
removed).
Feed the riddler rod through the hole on the right hand side of the
stove, and slide one washer onto the rod. If there is not sufficient
room to the right of the stove to do this, then remove the riddler
knob, fit one washer over the rod and then slide the rod through the
hole from the inside of the stove.
Fit the ash shedding plates through the slots on the LH & RH grate
support.
Feed the rod through the LH & RH grate supports and slide the
other washer on to the rod so that the washers end up outside the
two side grate supports. . With the LH & RH grate supports pushed
together fit the retaining clips so that the washers come inside the
clips.
Slide the LH & RH grate supports apart so that they rest against the
sides of the firebricks. Slot in the front and rear support plates.
Fit the grate plates into position through the front and rear grate
support plates, making sure they locate correctly onto the riddler
rod. Fit the fuel retainer. Slide the ashpan under the grate.

Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out
correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
FUEL
This stove has been designated to burn wood. Only dry well seasoned
wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned
wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in the stove, on the glass and
within the chimney. For the same reason hard woods (such as Ash,
Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods (such as Pine and
Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood will also result in
considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and split and
then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least one year
but preferably two years before use. Approximate suitable log sizes
are:
C4 & C6 255mm (10in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter
C5 & C8 305mm(12in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter
C7 380mm(15in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter.
Log moisture content of less than 20% is recommended.
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste.
For advice on other fuels please contact Charnwood.
