Door Operation
To open the door, insert the operating control into the door latch on the right hand side of the door. Turn the
operating tool anti clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
Wood Burning
When burning wood then it should be burnt on the bottom board grate.

Ash Removal. After several burns as the ash builds then it can be raked gently through the holes so as to fall in
the ash pan below. This can be emptied by sliding out. If ash builds at the sides and cannot be removed through
the holes then it is desirable to clean out a few shovels full of the surplus ash as required. (This will be more
frequent if burning heavily).

DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE AS AN OPEN FIRE ALWAYS USE IT WITH THE DOOR CLOSED.
Use of the Air Supply Control
The air control lever adjusts the primary air. The secondary air supply is pre-set to create simplicity for the user
to operate just one control. The primary and secondary air creates an air wash system drawing air across the
glass. This helps to keep the glass clean.
