Rope
Check the rope around the door. If rope is
becoming detached, use Parkray Stoves rope
glue to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor
condition, a replacement rope kit may be
ordered from the Parkray Stoves spares range.
Chimney and Flueways
It is important that the chimney, flueways and
any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly.
This means at least once a year for smokeless
fuels and at least twice a year for wood and
other fuels.
The baffle will need to be removed from its
supports in order to sweep the chimney (see
assembly instructions).
Only wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a
guide wheel should be used.
If it is not possible to sweep all parts of the
chimney through the appliance, ensure there is
adequate access to cleaning doors.
Periods of prolonged non-use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged
period of time then it should be given a
thorough clean to remove ash and unburned
fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air
through the appliance to reduce condensation
and subsequent damage, leave the air controls
fully open
If the appliance has been unused for a long
period of time, such as during the spring and
summer months, a competent person should
check the chimney for potential obstructions
before lighting the stove.
Gaskets
All gasket used on this appliance are produced
from a heat resistant material called Manniglas.
The glass gasket will have to be replaced when
a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets
become brittle after firing the stove.
Over time you may also find that the gasket
changes colour.
This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in
the manufacture of the product and no cause
for concern.
Troubleshooting
Fire will not burn
Check that:
The air inlets are not obstructed in any way.
Chimneys and flueways are clear.
A suitable fuel is being used.
There is an adequate air supply into the
room.
An extractor fan is not fitted in the same
room as the stove.
Flue draught is above minimum level (see
installation instructions).
Fire blazing out of control
Check that:
The doors are tightly closed.
The air controls are all in the closed
position.
A suitable fuel is being used.
The glass retaining clips are not loose.
The door rope seals are in good condition
Flue draught is below maximum level (see
installation instructions).
