Multifuel Grate
Your Cleanburn Stove is fitted with a locomotive type grate. So that de-ashing can be carried out
cleanly and easily, it is riddled from the outside of the stove with the doors closed. The grate is
designed to burn both wood and solid fuels.
To burn solid mineral fuels place the operating tool over
the riddling spigot and pull it down towards you. When
left in that position, air is directed under and up through
the slots in the firebed, giving the optimum conditions for
burning solid fuels.
It is important that the riddling tool is used to remove the
ash to ensure airflow through the firebed and allow the fire
to burn over the entire area of the grate.
The ashpan should be emptied at least daily and ash
should never be allowed to build up over a period of time
as this will result in damage to the fire bars. The flat end
of the riddling tool can be used to carry the ashpan.
To burn wood, push the operating tool up and away from
you. When left in this position, air is restricted through
the bed of the fire providing a solid base to build up a bed of ash.
Surplus ash can be removed either by gentle riddling or with a shovel.
It might prove beneficial when burning more reactive fuels to leave
the grate in a “neutral” position, thus directing some under fire air and
some over fire air to the firebed.
Solid Mineral Fuel Burning
Lighting the Stove
We recommend that you have two or three small fires before you operate your stove to its maximum
heat output. This is to allow the paint to cure in steadily and to give a long service life of the paint
finish. During this curing in process you may notice an unpleasant smell. It is non-toxic, but for
your comfort we would suggest that during this period you leave all doors and windows open.
First, load the fire with starting fuel, i.e. paper, dry sticks and/or firelighters in the mode chosen,
either wood or solid mineral fuel. Light the fire at the base leaving all air controls open. Allow the
fuel to reach a steady glow and build the fire up gradually. Once you have a good fire established
across the grate bed, further fuel can be added as required.
Recommended Solid Mineral Fuels
Only authorised fuels may be used in UK smoke control areas. A list of authorised fuels can be
