DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Your stove is provided with a steel ashpan. This
ashpan should be emptied every day.
If ashes are allowed to build to grate level you could
damage the firebars by overheating. We recom-
mend that you remove ashes after you have riddled
the fire following overnight burn.
Ashes should be placed in a metal or other non-
combustible container with a tight fitting lid. The
closed container of ashes should be placed on a
non-combustible material, pending final disposal. If
ashes are buried in soil, or otherwise dumped they
should be retained in the closed container until they
are thoroughly cooled. Open the ashdoor and
remove the ashpan using the tool provided, see Fig.
20. Close the ashdoor. When the ash is disposed of
replace the ashpan.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE
Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways
It is recommended that the flue pathways in the
stove are cleaned on a monthly basis (or less
depending on the soot build-up created by the fuel
being used) and the chimney cleaned annually.
When cleaning the flue pathways the boiler clean-
ing plate should be removed by lifting up the clean-
ing plate & pulling it forwards until it clears the boil-
er (see Figure 21). Remove any build-up of soot on
the top of the boiler using a suitable cleaning brush
and when finished replace the boiler cleaning plate.
The boiler cleaning plate can also be removed
when cleaning the chimney if the flue pipe is fitted
to the back outlet.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Adjusting the Door Catch
Over time, the fire door latch can loosen due to the
continual compression and hardening of the rope
seal between the door and the front casting. The
position of the latch can be easily adjusted (in
order to tighten the door closure) by removing the
nut holding on the door latch and repositioning the
washers between the latch & the door casting to
allow the latch to be positioned closer to the back
of the door casting - see Fig. 22 & 23.The tightness
of the door seal should be checked after each
adjustment is made. lt is recommended that the
rope seals on the stove are changed at least every
two years or sooner if the seal loses its integrity.

Riddling Bar
DE-ASHING
When ash build-up becomes excessive in the fire
chamber shake the firebars by pushing and pulling
the riddling rod repeatedly. The riddling rod is locat-
ed under the base at the left side of the stove.
SLOW BURNING
Slow burning will cause the window glass to black-
en and should not be used for a long period. It
should only be done after the fire has been estab-
lished and been funning at nominal output for a
period of time. For a prolonged show burn, fill the
firebox of fuel up to the maximum height just below
the top of the fire fence at the front of the door
opening. Close the secondary air knob fully and set
the thermostat knob to 0-1/2.
