inserted, the handle should be turned approx. 5 times to the right and to
the left until the limit stops (approx. 20° rotation angle). When inserting the
operating handle, it is important to ensure that the handle does not knock
against the painted/varnished edges of the stove.
The soot released during the cleaning process automatically falls onto the
deflector plate in the firebox and should be cleaned out at least 2 x per
season.
6.2 FIREBOX LINING
During the warming-up phase it is normal for the lining to be covered by a
dark coating. Once the operating temperature is reached this layer on the
firebox lining will have burnt off. Cracks are not considered grounds for a
justified complaint. The lining is subject to very high stresses. An expansion
or contraction crack is not serious and is not a functional defect. However,
any parts of the fire chamber lining that are broken and have moved out of
position need to be replaced. If replacement fireclay is required, this can be
ordered from your heating contractor under the appropriate order number,
stating your stove model (refer to
Figs. 19-22
).
