the winter if not been in use for some time, as birds may have nested in the chimney or
the masonry could have fallen away and caused a blockage.
The chimney can be swept through your stove with the baffle plate removed. It is
advisable to remove the bricks too in order to avoid accidental damage. When complete
all necessary checks should be carried out to ensure the integrity of the chimney system
throughout and the stove safe performance.
3.1.3 Grate Removal and Replacement
Remove the ash pan, side bricks, baffle and rear brick before finally removing the grate.
Replacement is in the reverse order. Replacing the grate frequently would suggest that
the ash is not removed regularly and thus is allowed to build up under the grate and touch
the bars. This will also reduce the air flow during the operation of the stove.
3.1.4 Stove Body
The stove is finished with a heat-resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a soft brush.
Do not clean whilst the stove is hot
–
wait until it has cooled down.
The finish can be renovated with high temperature stove paint as supplied by the
manufacturer. Aerosols must never be used when the stove is hot or in operation, only
use when the stove is cold.
3.1.5 Glass Panels
The glass panel window must only be cleaned when the stove is cold. Highly abrasive
substances should be avoided as these can scratch the glass and make subsequent
cleaning more difficult. Do not burn wet logs, large logs that do not fit in the combustion
chamber, overload with multiple logs as this can also damage the glass and in some
instances cause the glass to fracture. Do not slam the door as this can also cause a crack
to occur.
Should a glass window require to be replaced, then remove the four screws and clips on
the retaining bar which retains the glass in place, carefully remove the broken glass and
replace the window with the correct stove glass from your supplier. When replacing the
glass we recommend also replacing the rope seal in all instances. The retaining steel frame
can then be put back in place and the clips and screws then secured to retain it in position.
