of variables including: the flue draught, the fuel used and the installation and so the best
setting for your stove can only be learned by experience.
ASH REMOVAL
The level of ash should not be allowed to build up to the level of the grate. If the level of
ash becomes too high the air through the grate will become restricted causing the grate
to overheat and preventing the fuel from burning efficiently.
MINERAL FUELS
Ordinary bituminous house coal is not recommended and must not be burned in smoke
control areas. Burning bituminous house coal will result in a sooty stove and chimney,
and the stove glass will require cleaning regularly. There are numerous natural anthracites
and manufactured smokeless fuels that will burn cleanly and have more reliable burning
characteristics. A list of these fuels and their suitability is produced by HETAS
(www.hetas.co.uk). Consult your local fuel merchant to find out what is available in your
area. Petro coke should not be used as it burns very hot and may damage the stove
casting.
The above text should be used as a guide only. The ideal operation of your
stove depends on a number of factors, which vary with each installation,
and so gaining experience operating your stove is the only way to learn its
best operation.
The stove as with any other metal products will expand and contract. A
ticking noise may occur. This is normal for this type of appliance.
