expose the Exhaust Fan Mount and the ends of the Exhaust Manifolds. Use a bottle cleaning brush (or similar) to clean
the Exhaust Manifolds. Note: On Maxi Models, the Exhaust Manifold Inspection Port is accessed by removing the Ash
pan.
5. Ensure that the Heat Exchange Housing, heat exchange tubes, the Air Intake Pipe and Exhaust Manifolds are
thoroughly cleaned before vacuuming the remaining interior of the Fire Box.
6. Assemble the Firebox components. Remove the Exhaust Fan Motor by backing off the six (6) retaining screws.
Place the motor on the Fire Base Plate with the fan blades uppermost. Do not damage the fan blades or excessive
motor noise will result.
7. Place a suitable receptacle under the Cleanout Tee and remove end cap and clean the Flue with a 75mm wire brush
attached to chimney sweep rods. When replacing the clean out tee cap, ensure it is fully re-sealed with Hi-temperature
silicone
8. Thoroughly Vacuum the inside of the Fire, Exhaust Fan Housing and Cleanout Tee. Put the brush attachment on to
vacuum all fan blades.
9. Inspect the Firebox Door Handle and ensure that it is tight. Use a 10mm socket and 10mm spanner to tighten the
lock nut.
10. Inspect the Firebox Door fiberglass rope seal by taking a 50mm wide strip of paper and shutting the Fire Box door
on it. Then pull the paper to test the gasket pressure. Check all around the fiberglass rope seal, particularly the left
(hinge) side of the door. If the paper slides out easily or falls out, replace the fiberglass rope seal. To replace the
fiberglass rope seal, remove the door by lifting it straight up, off of its hinge pins and lay it face down on a soft surface.
Remove the fiberglass rope seal (you may need to use pliers). Clean out the old silicone from the track. Apply a
generous bead of or hi temperature silicone into the track. Position NEW 14mm round fiberglass rope seal into the
track and gently press into the door. Trim off any excess fiberglass rope and wipe away excess high temp silicone.
Fiberglass rope seal and high temperature silicone may be obtained from your Parkwood Distributor.
Warning:
Use care not to slam or strike door, this could result in glass breakage. If the glass in your Fire is broken or
cracked, DO NOT operate your Fire until the glass has been replaced.
11. From the inside of the Firebox Door, use a business card (or similar cardboard) to clear the airways around the
glass; this is the edges of the glass that are not supported by fiberglass tape.
12. Use the same paper test detailed in item 10 above to check the Ash Pan Gasket Seal. Bend the Ash Pan Locking
Latch to achieve a firm and sealed close and / or replace the Gasket as necessary.
13. Use a piece of cardboard to clean any dust away from between the edge of the Firebox Door glass and the plates
that retain the glass. This air way helps keep the inside of the glass free of carbon.
14. Use a soft brush to clean the Convection Fan impellers then blow the resulting dust out.
15. Reassemble the Fire and apply Stove Bright Charcoal touch up paint to any marks or scratches.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
FUSES
Note:
Spare fuses are attached to the rear page of this Manual.
1. To prevent excessive electrical loads or power spikes on components each electrical component is fused. On Free-
Standing models, the fuses are located at the bottom right rear of the Fire near the incoming mains power supply.
2. On the Fireplace Insert models, the fuses are accessible by removing the T20 screw retaining the right surround
panel and swinging the side panel forward. The fuses are located on the side of the Fire at the right rear.
3. The fuses are 5 amp (M205 Fast Blow) and may blow from time to time. Fuses should be checked first if the Fire
fails to operate normally.
4. If the earth leakage device trips at the switch board; remove the igniter fuse and light the fire manually. Call a
technician for a replacement Igniter.
