USING YOUR STOVE CONTROLS The amount of heat emitted by the stove is regulated using two air controls. A) The primary air supply is controlled using the lower air controls mounted in the front door below the ash lip. B) A second air inlet provides a constant, pre-heated air supply to the combustion just above the fire, and is controlled using the air controls at the top of the doors. This air supply will not normally need to be regulated but should always be kept open. Fig 6.
FIRE-LIGHTING 1. Open the lower control. 2. Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity of dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top. 3. Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door. 4. When the fire is burning strongly, add further logs of a diameter up to 10cms. 5. When the stove is very hot, close the lower control. 6. Ensure there are lasting flames untill the wood becomes charcoal. 7.
ASH REMOVAL Keep the grate free from a heavy build-up of ashes. The Junior Franklin stove is equipped with a grate riddling device which is used to shake ashes off the grate and into the ashpan. If the stove is burning without life and the lower control is open, use the riddling lever to clear the grate of ash. Empty the pan once a day or whenever full of ashes and take care not to allow ash to come into contact with the underside of the grate.
