6.0 SERVICING/MAINTENANCE
APPLIANCE MAY BE HOT. DO NOT SERVICE UNTIL APPLIANCE
HAS COOLED.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS.
Check your chimney for creosote and soot build up regularly until a safe
frequency for cleaning is established.
If accumulation is excessive, clean both the chimney and the appliance. You
may want to call a professional chimney sweep to clean them. Both have to
be cleaned at least once a year or as often as necessary.
Remove fire baffles and clean above them once a year. Replace any broken
bricks.
6.1 CARE & CLEANING OF GLASS
HOT GLASS WILL CAUSE BURNS.
DO NOT TOUCH GLASS UNTIL COOLED.
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN TO TOUCH GLASS.
If the glass is not kept clean permanent discolouration and/or blemishes may
result. Normally a hot fire will clean the glass. The most common reasons for
dirty glass include: not using sufficient fuel to get the appliance thoroughly
hot, using green or wet wood, or closing the draft so far that there is
insufficient air for complete combustion.
If it is necessary to clean the glass, buff lightly with a clean dry cloth and
non-abrasive cleaner.
DO NOT CLEAN GLASS WHEN HOT!
Clean the glass after the first 10 hours of operation with the recommended
appliance glass cleaner (supplied). Thereafter clean as required.
The glass is very strong but do not let burning fuel rest or fall against it and
always close the door gently.
NEVER FORCE IT SHUT!
If the glass should ever crack or break while the fire is burning, do not open
the door until the fire is out and do not operate the appliance again until the
glass has been replaced.
New glass is available from your authorised dealer or distributor. An up to
date list of authorised dealers can be found at sparthermfires.co.nz
DO NOT USE SUBSTITUTE MATERIALS.
THE GLASS CERAMIC SHEET MAY ONLY BE CLEANED WHEN
COLD (FIREPLACE INSERT NOT BURNING AND COOLED
DOWN; NO HOT ASH IN THE FIRE CHAMBER).
6.2 CARE OF PLATED PARTS
If the appliance is equipped with plated parts, you must clean fingerprints or
other marks from the plated surfaces before operating the appliance for the
first time. Use a glass cleaner or vinegar and towel to clean.
If not cleaned properly before operating for the first time, the marks can
cause permanent blemishes on the plating. After the plating is cured,
the fingerprints and oils will not affect the finish and little maintenance is
required, just wipe clean as needed. Prolonged high temperature burning
with the door ajar may cause discolouration on plated parts.
NOTE: THE PROTECTIVE WRAP ON PLATED PARTS IS BEST
REMOVED WHEN THE ASSEMBLY IS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
BUT THIS CAN BE IMPROVED IF THE ASSEMBLY IS WARMED,
USING A HAIR DRYER OR SIMILAR HEAT SOURCE.
