User Instructions

operating appliance for burning dry seasoned wood logs only. HETAS
approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed
with wood logs nor does it cover the instructions for use of other
fuels.
Tool required for fitting the riddling grate:
10mm Spanner
Pozidriv screwdriver
Before fitting the riddling grate 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 spanner.
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.)
Feed the rod through the two side fireplates and slide the other
washer on to the rod so that the washers end up outside the two side
fireplates. With the side fireplates pushed together fit the retaining
clips so that the washers come inside the clips.
Slide the side fireplates apart so that they rest against the sides of the
firebox. 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.
FITTING THE RIDDLING 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.
If you are using your stove to burn wood logs in a smoke controlled
area, then the Smoke Reducing Kit MUST be fitted and the
instructions on lighting and refuelling MUST be followed. This stove
will not produce significant smoke if well seasoned logs of less than
20% moisture content are burnt and these instructions are adhered
to. Burning wet (> 20% moisture content) wood and operating the
stove in an irresponsible manner may produce smoke which is illegal
in smoke controlled areas.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensur e 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.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
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 255mm (10in) long and 75mm (3in) diameter.
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.
This appliance has been approved by HETAS as an intermittent
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.
