Don't stir it, best to leave it alone or you might contaminate it

1.010 means it is done more or less, :-) although I'd either leave it a further week for the yeast to drop out, or syphon into another fv (if you have one) and leave it another week - this will mean your beer will be clearer quicker and less sendimenty (not a real word).

My regime is, 14 days in the primary, 7days in secondary

I second the 'do not stir'. :thumb:
At 1010 it must be either finished or just about finished.
Again, second the 'rack into second fv and leave for second week to finish and drop clear.

Check it again. If the SG is still 1010 then bottle it. The instructions say bottle when 1014 or lower - mine only got down to that.
