OVEN/BOILER DAMPER
When in the ‘oven’ position (fully clockwise) the heat is directed to the hotplates and ovens, enabling fast
heat up of these areas and reduced hot water.
When in the ‘boiler’ position (fully anti-clockwise) the heat is directed through the boiler heat exchanger
for maximum hot water output.
Consequently, oven and hotplate temperatures will be slower to heat up when in boiler mode.
BOILER THERMOSTAT
The thermostat controls the burning rate of the fire and hence the boiler output. The minimum setting is
60°c when turned fully anticlockwise, and the maximum water temperature is 90°c when fully clockwise.
Water temperature between the minimum and maximum can be chosen by turning the dial accordingly.
When the thermostat senses that the boiler is at the correct temperature, it will close the air intake and
reduce the burning rate of the fire.
FLUE DAMPER (fig. 1)
Open the damper (push away from you) when lighting or refuelling the fire. Only close the damper once
the fire is warm.
SHAKING GRATE
To de-ash the grate, open the ash door and using the tool supplied, push and pull the riddling grate
vigorously several times, causing loose ash to fall into the ash pan.
FLUE BOX DOOR SCREW CONTROL
Fully or partially opening the flue box door by winding the screw in will reduce the flue pull on the fire
and thus extend burning times. Its effect is dependant upon prevailing flue conditions which may vary
according to wind and weather. If there is any sign of smoke leakage from this control, ensure it is closed.

Ensure that any plastic film used to protect surfaces has been removed from the bolster lids and from
the inside of oven doors. The hotplate has been coated with oil at the factory to prevent rusting and
therefore will require wiping with a damp cloth and drying with a tea towel or kitchen roll.

IMPORTANT NOTE
The boiler thermostat is the primary device for controlling the burning rate of the cooker
and must be turned to maximum to achieve high oven temperatures, with the oven/boiler
damper control in the ‘oven’ position.
