Reasons for Premature Wear of Internal Parts
•
Stove being used/fired too vigorously
•
Too little air passing through the stove
•
Use of excessively dry wood (wood from old furniture)
•
Excessive debris collection on baffle plate or inner fireback (see section on cleaning)
•
Ash level too high in the ash pan (over 2 ½“)
•
Overnight burning
•
Use of a stove thermometer
Take care when removing glass clip screws or they could shear
Do not use with broken glass
Do not over tighten the glass clips as this could cause the internal glass to crack.
Only clean the glass when it is cold.
Chimney Sweeping and Maintenance
It may be wise to contact your local chimney sweep before the stove is installed. Your chimney
should be swept at least once a year by a registered sweep, twice a year with heavy use. The
sweep should also replace the fire cement at the base of the flue if necessary.
•
The chimney can be swept through the stove.
•
Unless advised by Burley the stove should not be used with any baffle missing.
•
All rope and glass seals should be checked annually and replaced as necessary.
If the stove has not been used for a prolonged period, in excess of 6 months, the chimney should
be swept prior to use to check for blockages, birds’ nests etc. and rubble/debris blocking the flue
ways.
