Care of Glass
The first few firings will cure the paint and we recommend that you clean the glass after
this has happened. This will ensure that there are no contaminates on the glass to attract
further staining. After a time the glass does deteriorate but to prolong the life:
•
Clean the glass each time before re-lighting, this prevents fly-ash from being fired onto
the glass
•
Clean glass with a ceramic glass cleaner
•
If necessary, remove fired on stains with clean wire wool (not a ‘brillo’ type pad) every
time before lighting
•
Ensure all glass cleaner is removed from glass before firing
•
Do not over aerate the stove as this can cause fly ash to stick.
•
Do not run for long periods with the lever to the right
•
Only add logs at the back of the stove
•
Make sure the log retainer points into the stove
•
Most deposits burn off when the stove is very hot, this is with the lever roughly in the
middle
•
Do not over load the stove or try and keep it in overnight. Add a little wood often.
The stove is double glazed; check the rope seals and screws regularly to ensure a long life.
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.
•
The stainless steel baffle and top brick should be removed in the reverse order described
on page 14.
•
The baffle should be cleaned at least twice a year with heavy use, checked, renewed as
required and replaced.
•
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.
