Take down once a month and clean. Sweep sooty deposits into fire.
Chimney
Have chimney swept twice a year. Chimney can be swept through stove.
Servicing
Stove should be serviced by a professional at least once a year.
Take care not to touch the doors as they will be hot when the fire is
burning. Pull the door handle up to open, and push down to close.
The stove should be run with the door shut.
The rate of burning and hence the output is controlled by the air
control (see Fig. 2).
Open the air control fully when lighting or when rapid burning is
required. It should not be left fully open for long periods as this can
cause over-firing or excessive smoke production. For high output
move the air control to the ‘High Output’ position’ or for low
burning to the fully closed position.
CONTROLLING THE FIRE
When the fire is burning normally the air control gives enough
airwash to keep the glass clean. However, it will not always be
possible to keep the glass clean with the air control fully closed.
Congratulations on becoming the owner of a Charnwood Bay BX
Stove It is very important that you read and understand these
instructions before using the stove.
DOOR OPERATION
The door handle has been carefully designed so that in normal use it
may be operated using bare hands. However, if you need to open the
doors when the fire is running at maximum, then the use of the glove
provided may be required
.
FUEL
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the work and
checks described in the Installation Instructions have been carried out
correctly and that the chimney has been swept, is sound and free
from any obstructions. The stove is not suitable for use in a shared
flue system.
Remember that the stove will be hot and that it is made from hard
materials – ensure that you have good balance before operating the
fire. Always use the provided operating tool and gloves.
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
There is a risk of explosion or flash ignition of the spray.
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or
infirm persons are present a fireguard must be used to prevent
accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be
manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002.
The stove is suitable for intermittent operation.
Only dry well seasoned wood should be burnt on this appliance as
burning wet unseasoned wood will give rise to heavy tar deposits in
the stove, on the glass and within the chimney. For the same reason
hard woods (such as Ash, Beech and Oak) are better than soft woods
(such as Pine and Spruce). Burning wet unseasoned wood will also
result in considerably reduced outputs. The wood should be cut and
split and then left to season in a well ventilated dry place for at least
one year but preferably two years before use. Approximate suitable
log sizes are:
480mm long and 75mm diameter
PETROLEUM COKE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE ON
THIS APPLIANCE. ITS USE WILL INVALIDATE THE
GUARANTEE.
This stove is not designed to burn household waste.

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 chimney
to evaporate.
Light the stove using dry kindling wood and paper or fire lighters. It is
recommended that you use approximately 1kg to 1.2kg of kindling.
Put the paper, or fire lighters, and kindling in the firebox and cover
with a few small dry logs. Open the air control fully (see Fig. 2). Light
the paper or fire lighters. The door may be left cracked open for a
few minutes to assist the combustion and heat up the firebox more
quickly.
When the kindling wood is well alight add a few more small logs and
close the door, but leave the air control fully open. When the flames
are established around the smaller logs, load the stove with larger
logs to the required fuel load. Logs should be no more than 75mm in
diameter and 480mm long. Close the door. Maintain the air control
at maximum at this stage.
Once long flames appear over the fire, reduce the air control to the
‘high output’ setting. Once the fire is well established - with each log
alight at the top - the air setting can be reduced again, depending on
the type of fire required. If at any stage the flames start to go out or
the glass begins to discolour, a higher setting is required. To achieve
this, open the air control to re-establish a consistent burn.
Once the fire is up to temperature the airwash system will begin to
work, so allow the fire to become hot before adjusting the air control
to the required setting. During the lighting period, do not leave the
stove unattended. Do not leave the door open except as directed
above to avoid excessive smoke.
When relighting the stove, leave the ash on the base unless it is
becoming too deep, in which case some of it may be removed.
Keep the firebox well filled but do not allow fuel to spill over the top
of the fuel retainer.
Logs should be evenly distributed, filling the firebed to give the most
pleasing flame pattern. The air control must be fully opened after
