ADJUSTING THE DOOR HINGES
Once the appliance has been under fire for a
period of time the fire door may appear to have
moved out alignment with relation to the door
aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due
to the settling of the casing.
The fire door can be re-aligned by user as
follows:-
•
When the appliance is cold, open the fire
door so that it is at right angles to the front
of the fire.
•
Lift the fire door off its hinges (fig. 7)
•
Gently tap the hinge pins in a direction to
compensate for the misalignment (fig. 6)
•
Refit the door and check to ensure it now sit
square to the body, if not repeat above
steps
SUMMER STORAGE/NON USAGE
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and
moving components are well lubricated for the
summer months (during periods of prolonged non
use). If possible store the throat plate outside of
the stove, check all moveable components at
regular intervals to ensure they are moving freely.
Allow air movements through the stove by
opening the air wash and primary inlets controls
to about half way open or leave the door ajar.
This will allow a free flow of air through the stove
thus preventing moisture and condensation
forming inside the stove and chimney.
This preventative maintenance will ensure your
stove stays in the best condition for the coming
winter months.
