This stove is suitable for intermittent burning, and should not be used constantly for extended periods. Not suitable for
overnight burning.
Under certain abnormal weather conditions, e.g. down draughts, it may be difficult to get sufficient draw through the
appliance to achieve good combustion. When this happens, the stove should not be used.
CLEANING/MAINTENANCE
Regular cleaning of the stove is essential for safety and efficiency. The ash-pan should be emptied at least after every use, and
during use if burning for longer periods.
When cold, the inside of the stove should be given a regular sweep out.
The flue and flue pipe will require cleaning with a suitable chimney brush, to minimise build up of soot and tar.
The baffle plate inside the stove can be simply lifted out for easy access to the flueways (see Diagram Fig.1)
You chimney will also require periodic sweeping.
If the glass becomes stained from the inside, the air-wash vent may need opening more during use. The glass can be cleaned
with a cloth and chemical stove glass cleaner, or the glass cleaning pad made by Schott.
The high temperature paint which your stove is finished in should last many years with normal use, but when it does
eventually require re-finishing, black heat resistant paint in spray cans can be purchased from most hardware stores. – Do not
use regular paint which is not high temperature resistant.
After prolonged periods of not using the fire, the stove and flue system should be checked for blockages prior to re-lighting.
We recommend regular servicing and safety checks are carried out by a qualified engineer.
There must be no unauthorised modification of the appliance. Use only replacement parts recommended by the
manufacturer.
What to do in the event of a chimney fire:-
cut off the air supply to the stove, i.e. close the primary and secondary air supplies
move any combustible materials well-away from the stove
get everyone out safely
make sure that the fire brigade has clear access
