Care & Maintenance
Shut Down
8.19 If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Stovax do not
recommend shutting down the air controls completely
unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see Section 12
for advice). Closing the control during the burning process
will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of
gasses that could ignite dangerously.
8.20 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some
flame within the firebox.
8.21 If it is necessary to shut down the appliance then run on a
high setting until all of the fuel has been burnt before closing
the air controls.
9. Extended Burning
9.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended
periods of time. In order to do this:
—De-ashpriortonalrefuelling.
— Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Control.
— Set air controls to low combustion settings.
This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when
operated at a high temperature for a short period.
10. Ash Removal
Do not allow ash to build up as it may cause damage
and adversely effect the performance of the appliance.
Warning: Ash can remain hot long after appliance has
been in use.
10.1 Wood
— Open Doors.
— Leave a layer of ash to start the new fire on. Wood burns
best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm deep).
— Remove ash with a small shovel and place into
a Stovax Ash Caddy (Stovax Part No. 4227) or other
suitable container.
Do not place hot ash in any container made from plastic
or any other combustible material.
— De-ash at least once a week.
10.2 Solid Fuel
De-ash the appliance before filling with new fuel. Do not
allow ash to build up on the underside of the grate as this
can cause premature failure.
— Insert the Riddling Tool into the socket as shown in
Diagram 34.
Riddling Tool

— Push / Pull the Riddling Tool backward and forward 3 or 4
times to remove the ash. Do not force the handle beyond
it's natural stop point. The ash will fall into the ashpan.
10.3 Open the door.
Warning: Ash can remain hot long after appliance has
been in use.
Using gloves, carefully remove ashpan using tool supplied,
see Diagram 35.

Do not place hot ash in a container made from plastic or any
other combustible material.
