SERVICING
Every year, the stove should be serviced and the
chimney swept. Always use a qualified engineer. The
best time is just after the end of the heating season,
when the stove is not likely to be in use. Allow the stove
to cool before the engineer attends. Procedure:
Remove the front grate, fire bricks, throat plate,
bottom grate and ashpan.
Sweep the chimney thoroughly from an accessible
position (see
fig 4
,
page 11
).
Clear out any large deposits from inside the
combustion chamber and vacuum that which
remains. If necessary, scrape off deposits that have
attached to the walls of the chamber.
Clean the throat plate, bottom grate and front plate
with a wire brush. Use a soft brush for the
firebricks.
Replace any damaged items and re-fit in the
reverse order.
Remove the door glass and clean with a damp
cloth; wipe with a dry cloth. Inspect and replace the
door seal if necessary.
Check operation of the door catch, ensuring a tight
seal is made.
