Do not throw wood into the firebox
This is an unsafe practice and may dislodge the baffle plate in the heater. It may also cause sparking
or dislodge burning wood, which could ignite any combustible materials in the area surrounding the
heater (e.g. carpet).
Do not slam the door closed
Wood may be protruding from the firebox and cause the glass to break. It will also diminish the
longevity of the door seal.
Preparing for a low (overnight) burn
For an extended low burn ensure a maximum fuel load is placed into the heater, following the
reloading procedure outlined previously. The greater the fuel load the longer the burn. After reloading
close the door and leave the air inlet fully open (high) until the load is alight. The air inlet should then
be turned down to the low setting.
The optimum air flow setting to achieve an overnight burn may vary for different reasons. Experiment
to find the best result.
Self cleaning through high firing
It is perfectly normal for the glass door to experience some blackening after extended periods of low
burning. High firing helps burn the door glass clean and minimise soot, carbon and creosote
formation on the baffle plate and flue as well. High firing can be done daily during the heating season
and morning is usually the best time.
Just start or rebuild the fire with the firebox at least 2/3 full, set the air inlet control to high and let the
heater operate in this manner for at least 90 minutes.
Replacement parts
Consult your Coonara Dealer regarding any of the normally replaceable components of the heater
i.e. handle, baffle plate, door glass, Trivet, door seal and bricks.
