MAINTENANCE and SERVICING
Over time the firebricks may become cracked and crumble
away. If so, then they should be replaced soon after.
To replace the firebricks:
i)
Remove any ash.
ii)
Raise the brick retainer so that the bricks can be
removed.
iii)
Replace with new bricks, refractory bricks in the rear,
and vermiculite bricks in the sides and base. Refit
brick retainer.
1.
Over time the original brick retainer may burn out, in
which case it can be replaced with a new one.
2.
Raise the old brick retainer and remove the firebricks.
Remove the old retainer.
3.
Rotate the new brick retainer on a slight angle to get it
through the door and into the firebox. While holding it
up, refit the firebricks and then fit the retainer over the
top locking them into position.
This task may be easier with the door removed from the
appliance and laid horizontally on a work-bench.
To remove the door:
i)
With the allen key supplied, remove the top air control
handle from the air slide.
ii)
Open the door 90°.
iii)
With one hand on top of the door and the other
supporting it underneath, raise it on the hinge pin until
the top door hinge clears the top of the hinge pin.
iv)
Lower the door until the lower door hinge clears the
bottom of the pin.
To replace the door glass:
i)
The door glass is held in position by the rectangular
glass retainer fixed by four M6 screws, two at the top
and two at the bottom.
ii)
With 4mm allen key supplied, remove the four screws
and the glass retainer.
iii)
Take out the glass and any old door seal rope.
iv)
The new glass will have been supplied with a length of
grey door seal with adhesive strip on one side. Remove
the wax paper backing from the adhesive and stick the
door seal along the 5mm thick edge of the glass. With
the forefinger and thumb fold the door seal over each
side of the glass. Do this around the external edge of
the glass plate.
v)
Refit the new glass with door seal into position in the
door. Place the glass retainer over the top and fasten
with the four M6 screws.
vi)
Take extra care not to over-tighten the screws,
otherwise the glass will crack when the heater gets
hot and the door expands.
This task may be easier with the door removed from the
heater and laid horizontally on a work-bench (refer to
Section 4. on how to remove the door).
i)
Remove any old seal from the door.
ii)
Clean out the groove in the door that the seal was
bedded in using a flat-end screw driver or equivalent.
iii)
Run a thin bead of clear roof and gutter silicone along
the groove.
