Maintenance
5.1. Stove body
Use a soft brush to clean the stove; cleaning must ALWAYS be done after it has cooled down. The finish
can be renewed with proprietary stove paint.
5.2. Baffle plate
Remove and clean the baffle plate once a month to avoid soot or fly ash.
Block the flue ways and produce dangerous fume emission.
5.3. Fireproof glass
Use a proprietary glass cleaner to clean the glass when cool. Any material that may damage the glass
should not be used to clean the panel. Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy slamming of
the doors could crack the glass panels and care should be taken.
5.4. Ceramic rope
Ceramic or fiber glass rope is used on the stoves. Inspect the rope around the door and glass. If rope is
becoming detached, use a proprietary rope glue to reattach it. Ensure you replace the rope in the case of it
being in poor condition.
5.5. Flue & Chimney
Keep the chimney, flue way and any connection flue pipe swept regularly.
For users of smokeless fuels, sweep at least once a year; for wood and other fuels, at least twice a year. If
the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to
clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and an
open fire.
