Maintenance
Important! –In order to ensure continued
compliance with current Building Regulations,
Local Authority Byelaws and the Clean Air Act (if
applicable), this appliance requires regular
maintenance of the following –
N.B. Refer to the ‘Removing Internal Components’
section of these instructions for details on how to
remove each component.
MONTHLY
Brick Baffle –this should be removed and cleaned
at least once a month to prevent any build up of
soot or ash that could lead to blocked flueways.
With the baffle removed the chimney can be swept
through the appliance.
Firebricks- in normal use these can last for many
years. It is possible, however, to damage them if
care is not taken when refueling the stove. Check
periodically for seriously cracked bricks, which can
be replaced with new, available from your dealer.
Air Valve Cassette- this should be removed and
cleaned monthly to remove any ash that may be in
the controls. N.B. Make sure that controls are in
the maximum position (fully clockwise) before
removing the Air Valve Cassette.
Glass Panel- clean the glass panel when cool with a
proprietary glass cleaner. Highly abrasive
substances should be avoided as these can scratch
the glass and make subsequent cleaning more
difficult.
ANNUALLY
Annual maintenance of the following should be
carried out by a competent person –
Chimney and flueways- it is important that the
chimney, flueways and any connecting pipe are
swept regularly. This means at least twice a year
for Woodburning appliances. Only wire-centred
sweeps’ brushes fitted with a guide wheel should
be used. If it is not possible to sweep all parts of
the chimney through the appliance, ensure there is
adequate access to cleaning doors.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire 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 stove and the open fire.
PERIODS OF PROLONGED NON-USE
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged
period, then it should be given a thorough clean to
remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable
a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the
air controls fully open.
If the appliance has been unused for a long period,
such as during the spring and summer months, a
competent person should check the chimney for
potential obstructions before lighting the stove i.e.
get the chimney swept before the start of the
heating season.
AS NECESSARY
Stove body –the stove is finished with a heat
resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a soft
brush. Do not clean the stove whilst it is hot; wait
until it has cooled down.
Door Catch –Over time the rope seal in the door
will become compressed. It may therefore be
necessary to adjust the door catch to maintain the
door seal. To adjust the catch slacken the two set
