WARNING There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as this appliance as this can cause the appliance to emit smoke and fumes into the room. If the appliance is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the appliance and the open fire. When using the fire in situations where children or infirm people are present please use a fire guard to prevent accidents. The fire guard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 6539. FUELS The following fuels may be burnt on this fire. Please pay careful attention to the special points made with each type of fuel as they will help you to get the best from your fire. It must be remembered that only smokeless fuels may be burnt in smoke control areas on this fire. If you are not sure whether you are in a smoke control area, then please check with your Local Authority. Smokeless Fuels The following smokeless fuels are suitable for use on this appliance: Ancit (Phurnacite Plus), Anthracite Large Nuts, Centurion, Extracite, Maxibrite, Phurnacite, Sunbrite Doubles, Welsh Dry Steam Coal (Large Nuts). The above fuels are all suitable for use in smoke control areas. New smokeless fuels are regularly produced, and your fuel supplier will be able to recommend those which will be suitable. Coal Housecoal doubles, trebles or cobbles may all be burnt. Do not use singles, small nuts, or coal dust It is important that large size coal is used (i.e. larger than 50mm or 2" in size). The coal should be dry. When burning bituminous coal a little extra care is needed. Please take note of the section "Special Points For Burning Coal". Wood Only dry well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as burning wet unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits. For the same reason hard wood is better than soft wood. 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. Peat Ensure that the peat is well dried before use. Burning wet peat will give rise to heavy tar deposits and reduced outputs. PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON THIS APPLIANCE, ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE GUARANTEE At first you may find it helpful to try several fuels to find the most suitable. If you are unable to obtain the fuel you want ask your supplier or an approved fuel distributor to suggest an alternative, or ring the Solid Fuel Association Helpline on Freephone 0800 600 000. DOOR OPERATION Use the spanner type tool to open and close the doors. Turn the knob on the right hand door anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close. When closing the doors do not push on the enamel with the tool as this can chip the enamel, instead push the doors on the door knobs. There is a safety device fitted to the fire which prevents the main doors being closed when the ashpit door is open. This is to prevent accidental over-firing. The sequence for opening and closing the doors is as follows: Page 2 HV 7/96 Open the main doors Open the ashpit door Close the ashpit door Close the main doors MULTIFUEL GRATE Your Charnwood is fitted with a multifuel grate which enables solid fuel, wood and peat to be burned equally effectively. The grate has two positions. One for solid fuel, the other for wood and peat. When in the solid fuel position ash can fall through the grate and into the ashpan. When in the wood position ash is able to build up on the grate as is necessary for effective wood or peat burning. Movement of the grate from one position to the other is effected using the tool supplied. The grate is put into the wood position by moving the tool direction of the arrow "W" (marked on the handle of the tool) until the tool is vertical. The grate is put into the solid fuel position by moving the tool in the direction of the arrow "C" until the tool is horizontal. If a mixture of wood and solid fuel, or peat and solid fuel, is to be burnt then keep the grate in the solid fuel position. LIGHTING Set the grate into either the wood position or the solid fuel position as required. Place some paper and dry kindling wood or fire lighters on the grate and cover with a small amount of fuel. Turn the thermostat control knob to the maximum setting, fully open the airwash control and light the paper or fire lighters. Leave the doors slightly ajar until the fuel is well ignited then load with more fuel, close the doors and adjust the thermostat and airwash control to the desired setting. Leaving the main doors slightly ajar when lighting will keep the glass clean while the airwash is warming up. On initial lighting, the fire may smoke and give off an odour as the silicon paint with which the firebox is painted reacts to the heat. This is normal and will cease after a short time. In the meantime the room should be k...
