ii. Instructions on how to access the flue through the stove
The throat plate can simply be pushed left or right along the heat exchangers at the top of
the combustion chamber, then using a soft headed 7” brush, the flue can be swept
through.
Once the flue has been swept, please remember to slide the throat plate back into the
center of the heat exchangers.
iii. Stove maintenance
Periodically check that the door seals are in good condition and replace the fire rope if it is
worn or damaged. The thermal safety devices (overheat safety valve, pressure relief valve,
etc.) must be checked by a qualified engineer before the start of the heating season. Only
use spare parts authorised by your heating engineer.
13. Chimney fire
A chimney fire can be caused by regularly burning unseasoned wood, persistently slow
burning for long periods, not having the chimney swept regularly or burning unsuitable
fuels.
In the event of a chimney fire close the doors and air inlet of your stove and call the fire
brigade.
