Brass fi�ngs
Any proprietary brass cleaner may be used to clean
the brass on the stove, but care must be taken to
ensure the polish does not come into contact with
the stove enamel or the black cast finish, where it
will leave a stain.
Nickel fi�ngs
Any proprietary chrome or aluminium cleaner may
be used to clean the decora�ve fi�ngs on the stove,
but care must be taken to ensure the polish does not
come into contact with the stove enamel or the black
cast finish, where it will leave a stain.
Soot
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and
other organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours
condense in the rela�vely cool chimney flue of a slow
burning
fire.
As
a
result, creosote
residue
accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every two months during the
hea�ng season to determine if a creosote build-up
has occurred. The chimney connector must be in
good condi�on and kept clean. If creosote has
accumulated (1/8“ (3 mm) or more) it should be
removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Experienced chimney servicing personnel should be
consulted. Establish a rou�ne for the fuel, wood
burner and firing technique. Check daily for creosote
build-up un�l experience shows how often you need
to clean to be safe. Be aware that the ho�er the fire,
the less creosote is deposited. Weekly cleaning may
be necessary in mild weather even though monthly
cleaning may be enough in the coldest months.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
Clean the unit, the flue outlet, and the chimney at
the end of each hea�ng season or more often if the
use of the stove, or the fuel make it necessary. For
cleaning purposes the baffle plates can be removed
without any tools. This gives access to the cleaning
flap of the smoke flue and it is even possible to reach
the flue outlet. It also allows the removal of the
catalyst box on the TruHybrid variants for
examina�on and sweeping of the flue.
Ashes shall be removed, and disposed of in a steel
container with a �ghtly fi�ing lid and moved outdoors
immediately. Remove all internal parts to expose
any remaining ash and cinders and remove, close
all the stove doors. If the room is damp, possibly
place some absorbent crystals inside the stove or
spray any internal metal surfaces with water repelling
spray.
Using a suitable oil lubricate all moving parts
including door latches and handle sha�s.
Enamelled parts and repair
Porcelain enamel, when heated to high temperature,
is subject to crazing. Crazing is a normal occurrence
when enamel is exposed to high temperatures. Your
enamel finish will not be harmed nor will the
function of the stove be impaired.
The enamel surface of the stove may become
chipped if it is hit with a hard object such as a coal
shovel or opera�ng tool. Suitable cold enamel touch
up paint may be purchased.
To prepare the surface remove any loose or flaking
enamel finish and brush or vacuum the area to
remove any dust and dirt.
If the touch up is supplied in a bo�le shake
vigorously for a minute to mix the contents.
If supplied in a tube squeeze out some of the
contents onto a clean sheet of paper and mix with a
match s�ck as it may have become separated in the
tube. Apply a thin layer of touch up to the surface
allowing it to dry before applying further layers to
build the surface up to the surrounding enamels
height. Leave to dry before firing the stove.
