US COAL Not smokeless Is raw natural coal Inexpensive easy to light and low in ash it burns with great heat and an attractive flame However it makes lots of tarry smoke which will tend to stain the window and large volumes of flammable gas which sometimes make it difficult to control COKE Smokeless Is natural coal from which the smoke has been removed the smoke is distilled to make aspirin creosote ink and all sorts of useful things ANTHRACITE and WELSH DRY STEAM COAL Smokeless Are natural hard shiny forms of coal Though difficult to light they burn with great heat and last a long time Choose the small nuts size PEAT Legally smokeless in certain areas Is semi decomposed woody material found naturally The nearly black moorland or bog peat should be dried and treated as for wood LIGNITE Not smokeless Is a natural mineral between peat and coal It lights easily and burns well though some varieties produce excessive ash BRIQUETTES Are compressed blocks of fuel generally able to burn for long periods and remarkable for their consistency Homefire and Phurnacite are smokeless types while other brands are made from lignite peat or housecoal PETROLEUM COKE Sold as Petcoke Longbeach and under various proprietary names is made from oil waste Easy to light and to control its exceptional heat and lack of protective ash mean that it MUST NOT be used unless mixed with another fuel Grate and fireba

10. exiting the top of the chimney immediately close the door of your 350 shut all the air controls and call the fire brigade Prevent fires by having your chimney swept at least annually or more often if smoky fuels are used MAINTENANCE MONTHLY CLEAN THE THROAT PLATE and CHECK THE DOOR SEALS The throat plate sometimes called a baffle plate is the cast iron plate inside the roof of the stove item 9 in the diagram below It serves to distribute flames towards the sides and top of the fire and so increase heat output Remove the plate when the stove is cool to brush off any deposits of soot or ash which might cause a blocked chimney Check that the door seals are undamaged replacing them if necessary and that they fully seal against the stove body After a period of use the seals can become compressed if this happens open the door and lift it upwards to remove screw in the hinge supports on the stove body and re fit the door repeating this until a tight seal is achieved The door catch can be adjusted by unfastening the nut on the back of it and placing washers either in front of or behind the catch itself to move it in or out ANNUALLY SWEEP THE CHIMNEY The entire length of the chimney from stove to outlet should be swept annually or more often if smoky fuels are used REFURBISHMENT Should the stove body become scratched or dull repaint it only with heat resistant paint supplied for the purpose and only when the fire is completely cold
11. r life will be drastically reduced when using petroleum coke HOUSEHOLD WASTES Some plastics give off toxic fumes when burned and remember that batteries and aerosols explode Tiger is not an incinerator so only ever use the recommended fuels and NEVER use liquid fuels in any form PROBLEMS Problems like those listed here are usually due to some difficulty with the installation chimney or fuels so please check back through this leaflet carefully POOR HEAT OUTPUT Tiger is sufficient to heat a typical room of up to 100m The actual size depends on the insulation and air change ratio of the room To attempt to heat a larger room will result in excessive fuel consumption Use only the recommended fuels If necessary seek specialist advice LACK OF CONTROLLABILITY Some fuels give off lots of very flammable gas when they get hot Tiger s airwash sends air into these gasses to ensure that they burn off safely This means that some fuels especially some types of wood and housecoal may burn excessively until the gases have been used up You can reduce this effect by making sure that the fire is set to low for a while before refuelling and checking that the door seals fully WINDOW GETS VERY DIRTY Extended use at low output can result in stains on the window which will usually disappear when the stove is used on high Reduce the risk of staining by using only very dry fuel DIFFICULTY BURNING FOR EXTENDED PERIODS If the fire goes out
