FUELS Wood Wood must be dry and well seasoned. Ideally it should be cut, split and stacked under cover for at least a year and preferably two years before being burnt. Hard woods, such as Ash, Beech and Oak are preferable to Soft woods such as Pine. The wood should be burnt in a bed of ash on the flat base of the stove. Burning wet unseasoned wood will result in heavy tar deposits in the chimney and reduced outputs. Peat Cut peat should be dried before burning to reduce tar deposits. Peat should be burnt in the same manner as wood, on the flat base of the stove in a bed of ash. House Coal Doubles, Trebles and Cobbles may be burnt, do not use singles or coal dust (or "slack"). Coal must only be burnt with the optional coal kit, burning it on the flat base of the stove may cause damage. A little extra care is needed when burning coal, please refer to the section "Special Points When Burning House Coal" later in the instructions. Smokeless Fuel A wide variety of smokeless fuels are available, many of which are suitable for use on your Country 8. Some of these are listed below: Ancit Anthracite Large Nuts Centurion Cosycoke Extracite Homefire Maxibrite Phurnacite Welsh Dry Steam Coal (Large Nuts). Smokeless fuels must only be burnt with the optional coal kit, burning it on the flat base of the stove may cause damage. 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. Only smokeless fuels may be burnt in smoke control areas. DOOR OPERATION Turn the right-hand door knob anti-clockwise to open and clockwise to close, (see Fig. 1.) FITTING THE OPTIONAL COAL KIT Before burning coal or smokeless fuel the coal kit must be fitted. This consists of a grate and an ashpan. Fit the legs onto the grate, ensuring that the grate is the right way up. Remove the Door Knob Door Airslide Door Airslide Closed Open Open Closed Closed Open Control Airwash To Open Fig. 1. Stove Controls front fence and place the grate in the stove so that it comes hard up against the back fire brick. Replace the front fence so that the slope rests on the top of the grate. Slide the ashpan in under the grate. LIGHTING On initial lighting, the stove 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, but meanwhile the room should be kept well ventilated. At first only light a small fire and burn it slowly for two hours to allow any residual moisture in the bricks to evaporate. IMPORTANT When burning wood or peat on the base of the stove there must be a bed of ash to prevent damage to the base. When first lighting the stove, if there is no ash available then a make a layer of sand or earth about 12mm (1/2 inch) thick on the base to prevent any damage. The stove may be lit using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters. Place the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling on the base or the grate and cover with approximately 2 inches of fuel. Open the air slides in the doors and open the airwash control fully (see Fig. 1). Light the paper or fire lighters. Close the doors until the fuel is well ignited then load with fuel and adjust the air controls to the required setting. When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base, if burning wood or peat, unless it is beginning to block the slots in the front fence, in which case some of it may be removed. If burning solid fuel clear the grate and empty the ashpan before relighting. CONTROLLING THE FIRE The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the door air slides and the airwash control (see Fig. 1). The air slides in the doors should be used when lighting or when rapid burning is required. They should not be left fully Page 2 Country 8 &12 WB 6/97 open for long periods as this can cause over-firing. For overnight burning they should be closed. The airwash control is used most of the time to control the burning rate and to keep the glass clean. Fully extended gives full airwash for faster burning and clean glass whereas fully closed gives slow overnight burning. It will not be possible to keep the glass clean if this control is fully closed, particularly just after refuelling. REFUELLING Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top of the front fire bars. Care should be taken, especially when burning wood, that fuel does not project over the front fire bars or damage to the glass may be caused when the doors are closed, it can also cause the glass to black up. ASH CLEARANCE When burning wood or peat the ash should be allowed to build up on the base of the fire. It will only be necessary to remove some ash once or twice a week when it begins to restrict the flow of air through the front fence. When burning coal or smokeless fuel the ashpan should be emptied regularly before it becomes too full, generally once or...
