TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
Glass in door blackening
This can have several possible causes:
Burning unseasoned wood — If the wood is too wet, it
will cause the glass to blacken.
Appliance operated at low temperature — After an
overnight burn where the air control has been fully
closed, the glass may have blackened. When the fire is re-
stoked and burning on the high heat setting, the
blackened glass should self-clean.
Problems with the flue — Insufficient flue draught can
cause the glass to blacken. If the flue is too short, not
properly insulated, or in a position that results in a
downdraught, then there will be insufficient flue draught.
Contact the installer should this happen.
Trouble starting the fire
When cleaning, it is best to retain some ash in the base of the
firebox. A layer of ash insulates the base, helping to maintain
a high temperature for combustion. Also, if all the ash has
been removed from the firebox, it can affect the supply of air
to the base of the fire.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING
2.1.
REPLACING THE FIRE BRICKS
The firebox needs fire bricks to increase the thermal mass and
guarantee the longevity of the steel firebox. Over time the
firebricks may become cracked and crumble away. At this
point they should be replaced.
2.2.
REPLACING THE FIREBOX SIDE SHIELDS
The heater comes with two 8mm thick sacrificial shields fitted
to the sides of the firebox to protect the walls of the firebox.
Lugs on the shields allow them to hang over the angled cutout
on the sides of the firebox along the top.
To remove the shields, raise until the support hooks are clear
of the triangular cut-out on the side of the heater and remove.
To fit new side shields, simply hang them on the diagonal edge
of the triangular cut-out on each side of the firebox.
The side shields come as a left and a right, they are not
interchangeable.
2.3.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR
If the door does not close firmly, the latch can be adjusted.
The latch is fastened onto the door with two removable
washers. Use a socket wrench to undo the M12 nut, then
remove one of the washers directly beneath the nut. Securely
fasten latch assembly again.
Close the door with the door handle to test for any
improvement. If no improvement, remove second washer.
