IMPORTANT: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
SHOULD ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUID, GASOLINE
KEROSENE, LIGHTER FLUID OR CHARCOAL-
STARTERS BE USED TO LIGHT OR “FRESHEN
UP” THE FIRE. NEVER USE MANUFACTURED
LOGS. OPERATE APPLIANCE ONLY WITH
FUELLING DOOR AND ASHPIT DOOR CLOSED.
THIS APPLIANCE IS HOT WHILST IN OPERA-
TION, KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNI-
TURE A SAFE DISTANCE AWAY.
“KEEP ALL SUCH LIQUIDS WELL AWAY FROM
STOVE WHILE IN USE”
OPERATE APPLIANCE ONLY WITH FUELLING
DOOR AND ASHPIT DOOR CLOSED.
REFUELLING
Before refuelling the range, open the direct damper
(Part No. 15). Add the fuel, and after refuelling
ensure that the direct damper is closed, otherwise
oven temperature will drop and the fire box may
overheat.
Note: Only the recommended fuels as outlined in
the section on fuels may be used during refuelling of
the range.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
The direct damper (Part No 15) must be kept closed
except when initially lighting the fire or during refu-
elling. The burn rate is adjusted by controlling the
primary air using the spin valve (Part No. 79). The
primary air is increased by turning the spin valve
anticlockwise, and decreased by turning it clockwise
(see Fig.14). The oven damper (item 18) under the
round hot plate (Part No. 4) controls the chimney
draught which also adjusts the burn rate. (see
Fig.15)

You will get to know how to use the spin valve and
oven damper in conjunction for the optimum range
performance. Ensure that both the ashpit door (Part
No. 80) and the fire door (Part No. 75) are closed
securely during firing.
KEEP ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS AT
LEAST 1220mm (4 Feet) AWAY FROM THE
RANGE. They include rugs, fabrics, furnishings,
papers, firewood, etc. NEVER dry clothing on or
within 1220mm (4 Feet) of the range.
OVERNIGHT BURNING
Open the spin valve (Part No. 79) by a quarter turn
and close the oven damper (Part No. 18); riddle the
fire and refuel. In the morning open the air valve and
damper and riddle the fire; when it is again burning
brightly, refuel. If it is found that the fire is com-
pletely burned out then new settings should be tried
in respect of the spin valve. On the other hand if the
fire is out and the fuel unburned then the reverse
should apply.
DE-ASHING
The ash pan (Part No. 55) must be emptied regular-
ly, otherwise ash will build up to a point where it
interferes with the natural flow of cool air through the
fire bars and as a consequence these will be dam-
aged.
The ashpan is accessed by opening the ashpit door
(Part No. 80) and is removed using the riddling tool
(Part No. 69).
Note: The ashpan must be replaced in position
before the range is fired.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the
ground well away from all combustible materials
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed they
should be retained in the closed container until all
cinders have thoroughly cooled.
