Maintenance
No unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out.
The Baker’s Oven requires little maintenance, however the flue and oven base should be
periodically checked by a competent engineer for soot/creosote build up that may require
cleaning. Inside the oven is a removable base plate. This plate should be lifted out and any
soot underneath removed. The hot plates can also be removed for cleaning. The glass on the
firebox and oven doors can be cleaned with steel wool and water. It is not advisable to use a
cleaner that contains caustic chemicals, and abrasive cleaners.
A metal strip at the top of the firebox door can be adjusted in and out with the allen key
provided. The strip should be set leaving a gap of 1mm between the edge of the strip and the
front of the Baker’s Oven. This gap provides the secondary air supply.
The fire operates best when there is a certain amount of ash left in the bottom of the firebox.
When removing excess ash, ensure to leave a minimum 10mm thick bed of ash in the bottom
of the firebox.
