Troubleshooting

WARNING
NEVER OPERATE YOUR APPLIANCE WITH THE DOOR LOOSE AND NOT AIR TIGHT. OVERFIRING
COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL WEAR AND TEAR ON THE FIREBOX.
• Air Control Jamming
There are three bolts holding the air slide control in place. Undo them and remove the air slide. Wipe any ash or dust that may have
accumulated on the back of the air slide or on the face of the heater. If any burrs have developed on the back of the air slide or on the face
of the heater, rub them off with fine wet and dry sand paper till you have a smooth surface and edges. Replace the air slide and make sure
the washers and spacers are on the bolts when you screw the bolts back into the face of the heater. Do not apply any type of lubricant to the
air slide whatsoever as this will attract dust and make the slide stick.
• No Overnight Burn
Remove the air slide as per air control jamming and check that the air slide is hard against the face of the heater. If it is loose, tighten up the
bolts holding the air slide to the face of the heater. Do not overtighten.
Check that the door rope has an even indentation from the sealing strip, which is on the face of the firebox. If it is uneven and it appears as
though air could leak through the seal, adjust the thickness of the door rope to suit. Stretch the rope to make it thinner where the indentation is
the heaviest and bunch up the excess where the indentation is smaller.
Check the four bolts that hold the glass retainer in position. If loose tighten. Do not overtighten.
The door may become loose through the door seal shrinking. To tighten the door, open the door and look at the inside of the door catch.
(a) Unscrew Allen key screw in door handle shaft.
(b) Rotate door handle anti-clockwise (when looking from front of heater). This will tighten door rope seal.
1 turn = approx. 1mm.
(c) Close door and lock.
(d) Check for seal around door opening.
(e) Replace Allen key screw.
(f) Check that roll pin is central in shaft.
When closing the door you should now feel firm resistance when the roll pin comes into contact with the catch.
Note: Not all woods will last overnight.
Overfiring

WARNING
Leaving Door Open
As stated previously in relation to leaving door open 25mm to encourage the fire to pick up at
a faster rate. Your heater has been tested to ensure that no structural damage can take place
if the door is inadvertently left open. However your paint finish can be damaged if the door is
left open for a long period with a full firebox of fuel. Closely supervise your heater while the
door is left open.
Closing the Door
Always ensure that before you close your door there is no wood protruding beyond the front of
the firebox opening. Do not use the door glass as a ’battering ram’ to push the wood back into
the firebox. Damage to the glass by such impact is not covered by your warranty.

WARNING
Your appliance is coated with the best available heat resistant paint. Even though the paint
has been baked after application, it may require further temperature curing. It may, if you
overfire the heater on its first fire, discolour. For your first two or three firings, never exceed
medium air setting. Do not wipe the heater while paint is curing. After the paint has cured the
only maintenance required to maintain the heaters finish is to wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not
use any commercial cleaners or solvents on the paint finish.
We are proud of the presentation of our products. If at any time you need to freshen up the
paint finish, your local dealer has touch up paint available for purchase. You may even
change the colour of your appliance if you wish.
If you have any enquires, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your heater:
