CLEANING

The exterior surfaces of the wood fire should be cleaned when needed with a damp 

cloth  and  non-abrasive  cleaner.  Use  of  caustic  or  abrasive  cleaners  will  damage  the 

finish on the wood fire. If, due to continued burning at low temperature, the door glass is 

dirty, use a paper towel moistened with water and dipped in the cold ashes from the fire 

to lightly scrub the inside of the glass. Remember that a properly operated wood fire will 

keep the glass clean by itself.

LUBRICATION

The  door  hinges,  door  handle  spindle  and  air  slide  mechanism  should  be  lubricated 

periodically with a suitable high temperature grease. Do not use too much as this can 

melt and drop down onto the hearth staining it.

RE-PAINTING

All Kent wood fires are finished in high temperature paint. If marks or scratches occur, it 

can easily be touched up using Stove Bright paint in the correct colour. Paint is available 

from your Kent retailer.
