OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE

CHARNWOOD LA30iB

GENERAL POINTS

Before lighting the fire 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.

WARNING There must not be an
extractor fan fitted in the same room
as this appliance as this can cause the
appliance to emit smoke and fumes
into the room.

If the appliance is fitted in place of
an open fire then the chimney should
be swept one month after installation
to clear any soot falls which may
have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the appliance
and the open fire.

When using the fire in situations
where children or infirm people are
present please use a fire guard to
prevent accidents. The fire guard
should be manufactured in
accordance with BS 6539.

This appliance has been designed to
conform with BS.3378. It has
obtained the approval of HETAS Ltd.
(formerly DSFAAS Ltd.) for burning
the following smokeless fuels.

The above fuels are all suitable for
use in smoke control areas. In
non-smoke control areas other fuels
may also be burnt. For instructions on
burning other fuels please ask your
supplier for the ëëCharnwood
Multifuel Instruction Supplementíí.

PETROLEUM COKE IS

NOT SUITABLE FOR USE

ON THIS APPLIANCE, ITS

USE WILL INVALIDATE

THE GUARANTEE

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, an
approved fuel distributor, or the Solid
Fuel Association (tel. [phone])
to suggest an alternative.

DOOR OPERATION

Use the spanner type tool to open and
close the doors. Turn the knob on the
right hand door anti-clockwise to
open and clockwise to close. When
closing the doors do not push on the
enamel with the tool as this can chip
the enamel, instead push the doors on
the door knobs.

LIGHTING

CONTROLLING THE

FIRE

The rate of burning and hence the
output is controlled by the control
knob on the left hand side of the
appliance, shown in Fig. 1. This is
linked to a thermostat which controls
the boiler temperature. The number at
the top of the knob is the number at
which it is set. Some experimentation
may be necessary to obtain the
desired heat output.

Control
Knob

FUELS

HETAS Ltd. approval only covers the
use of the following smokeless fuels
on this appliance:

Ancit,
Anthracite Large Nuts,
Centurion,
Cosycoke,
Extracite,
Maxibrite,
Phurnacite,
Sunbrite Doubles,
Welsh Dry Steam Coal (Large Nuts).

HETAS Ltd. approval does not cover
the use of other fuels either alone or
mixed with the above fuels, nor does
it cover instructions for the use of
other fuels.

Place some paper and dry kindling
wood or fire lighters on the grate and
cover with a small amount of fuel.
Turn the thermostat control knob to
the maximum setting and light the
paper or fire lighters. Close the doors
and allow the fire to burn until the
fuel is well ignited then load with
more fuel and adjust the thermostat to
the required level.

On initial lighting, the appliance 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. In the meantime the room
should be kept well ventilated.

Before relighting the fire, riddle,
remove any clinker from the firebed
and empty the ashpan.
