Care for your stove

The need for regular maintenance on your stove will ensure, safe and efficient use of your appliance.

The following item listing should be checked and inspected by a competent person or engineer on a

regular basis.

PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE STOVE IS UNLIT AND COLD, BEFORE

ATTEMPTING TO INSPECT THE BELOW ITEMS-

14.1 Adjusting the door hinges

Once the appliance has been under fire for a period the fire door may appear to have moved out of

alignment with relation to the door aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of

the casting. It may be possible to tighten the retaining screws on the hinge assembly.

14.2 Liners / firebricks

The stoves liners (also known as firebricks) may become cracked after long periods of heavy use or

after being knocked by the loading of fuel or a poorly aimed fire poker. If the liners are still staying

in situ and can support themselves correctly there is no need to replace them. Cracked liners will not

in themselves affect the performance of the stove.

14.3 Throat plate

The throat plate can be removed from the stove, by lifting the throat plate up and removing the rear

liner, this will then allow the rear of the throat plate to swing down. Disengage the front lip of the

throat plate from the upper location bracket. Rotate the throat plate, diagonally across the

firebox, manipulating the plate through the door opening.

Any accumulated deposits should be cleaned off, this is best done with a brush. Whilst doing so,

inspect the throat plate for any damage. Replacement throat plates can be sourced from your local

dealer or via the internet at

www.flue-ducting.co.uk

14.4 Fire door seal

The rope seal around the edges of the main fire door should also be checked. Look for signs of

fraying, peeling away or the ends not meeting. If the rope is unable to create a good seal with the

stove body, it should be replaced. A poor seal will decrease your ability to control the burn rate and

its efficiency whilst leading to an increase in heat lost through the flue.
