Rayburn MF
Rayburn 216M or 216SFW
Introduced in 1979, the Rayburn MF was capable of burning a range of solid fuels together with wood and peat. The fabricated steel boiler produced a maximum of 16000 BTU/HR (4.7 KW) to give domestic hot water and heat for approx. 5 radiators. The domestic hot water was provided by gravity circulation to an indirect cylinder of 190 Litre (40 gallon) capacity. The circulation pump (usually fitted to the return pipe) could be operated via a programmer and/or room thermostat. It was also recommended that a low temperature clamp on thermostat be fitted to the return connection.
Having two
ovens, the level of heat was controlled by the position of the spin wheel on the
ash-pit door. The higher the oven temperature, the greater the amount of hot
water produced. Extra firebricks were provided to place over the boiler surface
during summer, to reduce the heat and provide domestic hot water.
As well as the normal gloss enamel the MF was also offered in a Matt Black or Brown enamel, the later having 'gold' trims.
An optional splash-back was available, and until the mid 80's the appliance was produced in both left hand oven and right hand oven versions.
In the mid 1990's it was re-designated the 216M, with additional colour options, chrome lids and slam catch oven doors.
From 2005 onwards, the flue damper moved to the front of the chamber and a positive catch was added to the fire door.
Production continues.
Early in 2006, the model re-designated SFW to emphasise its wood burning capability.
