E & OE Instructions Part number IN1011 Ed.3
Other Maintenance
The stove must be cleaned of ash and any tarring as often as your use of the stove and fuel dictate.
All deposits on the stove interior will insulate the stove body from the fire and will reduce the stove’s
efficiency. Flue ways which become choked will not only reduce the stoves performance but can
become a serious health risk if the flue is not taking away all the gaseous products of combustion.
It is important that all the stove seals are replaced when any signs of wear are apparent or they
become degraded and that only parts approved by Euroheat are fitted.
Summer Shut Down
At the end of each heating season the entire installation should be thoroughly cleaned and examined
for soundness, this should include having the flue examined by a registered sweep. If the stove does
not have a boiler fitted it should be left with one of its air supplies open to encourage the evaporation
of any rain that may enter the flue. The stove interior should be coated with a moisture repellent such
as WD40. All operating mechanisms should be lubricated with oil; this applies particularly to the door
handle shafts and latching blades.
Removing Baffle
The stove has a baffle at the rear of the combustion chamber which simply lifts upwards and can be
removed. With the baffle removed all ash deposits in the stoves flue ways can be removed.
Faulty Operation
If poor fuel and haphazard operating procedures can be ruled out, excess or poor flue draught are the
most likely cause of a badly performing stove. A flue draught manometer will identify these quickly,
but the actual causes of things such as an unreliable flue draught may take some considerable time,
even by an experienced engineer to identify. However, if the stove has never performed correctly,
call back the installation engineer. If its performance has deteriorated, examine the stove and the
flue for soot and debris accumulation, ensure the door and glass seals are sound before contacting
the engineer.
Enamel Finish
If your stove has an enamel finish you will notice, after the stove has been used several times,
it develops what is called a “crackle” pattern in the enamelling. This is caused by the different
expansion rates between the enamel and the cast iron, it is normal and should not be regarded as
a fault or indicating that the stove is beginning to shed its finish.
Warranty Registration
Thank you for choosing a Harmony stove. It has been constructed with the utmost care and with
the finest materials; we hope it gives you many years of pleasurable warmth. Included with your
appliance is a registration form. Please ensure this is fully completed by your installing engineer
and returned to Euroheat within 14 days of installation. The free 10 year Technical help can only
authorized, if the stove is registered with Euroheat by returning the registration form.
WARNING
A properly installed stove does not emit smoke or fumes into the room. If your stove suddenly emits
either, open a window, turn down the firing rate of the stove and leave to burn out. A flue blocked
whether because of accumulated soot or even by a dead bird will cause any fire to fill the house with
carbon monoxide; do not treat it merely as a nuisance.
HAVE YOUR STOVE FITTED AND MAINTAINED BY EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS.
