wood), riddle the grate, and open the air controls to maximum.
When the fire is burning well load on more fuel as necessary and
adjust the air controls as desired.
The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will
withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may be
cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should re-
painting become necessary, high temperature paints are available
from your supplier or from stove shops.
Most deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire
at a fast rate for a few minutes. If it becomes necessary to clean the
glass then open the doors and allow them to cool. Clean the glass
using a damp cloth and then wiping over with a dry cloth. Any
stubborn deposits on the glass may be removed with a proprietary
stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or pads as theses can scratch the surface which will weaken
the glass and cause premature failure.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
THROAT PLATE AND
FLUEWAY CLEANING
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept
clean in order to prevent potentially dangerous fume emission. They
should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if necessary.
It is necessary to let the fire out completely to carry out these
operations.
The front of the throat plate is pulled forward and then lowered as
shown in Fig. 3. Any sooty deposits should then be swept from the
plate and into the fire.
Return the throat plate to its correct position - raise the front of the
plate, push it back and then lower it onto the retaining lugs.
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. Where the top
outlet or vertical rear flue connector is used it will generally be
possible to sweep the chimney through the appliance.
First remove the front fence and the throat plate. Then sweep the
chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all horizontal surfaces
after sweeping.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance
the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.
After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the flue
pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.
After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate
(see Fig. 3.) and the front fence.
Different types of sweep's brushes are available to suit different
flueways. For standard brick chimneys a wire centre sweep's brush
fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated
insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to
sweeping should be consulted.
It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in
first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly,
check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing any
parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the doors
seals are in good condition and that the doors seal correctly. A
servicing guide is available on request. Repairs or modifications may
only be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents.
Use only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.
