Maintenance
Daily Maintenance
• The grate should be cleaned regularly
and the ash pan emptied daily.
Never allow the ash in the ashpan to
overfill allowing ash to be in contact
with the underside of the grate.
This will overheat the grate and cause
premature wear and distortion.
• The glass can be cleaned using a soft
damp cloth or a stove glass cleaner
(ACR Glassbright cleaner is available
from your local ACR stockist).
• Do not clean the glass of your stove
with abrasive cleaners or scratch pads
as this may damage the surface of the
glass causing it to weaken.
• Never allow the door gasket to
become wet when cleaning the glass,
this will deteriorate the gasket
prematurely.
Periodic Maintenance
• The chimney should be swept at least
once a year together with the flue pipe
connection. Care should be taken to
ensure that there is not a build up of
soot on the baffle and in the airways of
the appliance.
• If the appliance has not been operated
for long periods, the flue should be
inspected and swept before use to
ensure there are no blockages within
the flue.
• The internal vermiculite panels of the
appliance should be checked regularly
for soundness. If any wear and tear is
found, we recommend these parts are
replaced immediately.
• Check the rope door seals are intact
and are not worn. These should be
replaced on an annual basis to ensure
the correct operation of this appliance.
• Is advisable as part on the periodic
maintenance of your appliance to
lubricate the moving parts of your
stove i.e. handle, air control, door
hinges, ash pan runners, with a
suitable high temperature dry lubricant
(i.e. micro-fine graphite powder) this
will ensure the correct operation of
your appliance.
• It may be necessary to adjust to
tension of the door closing mechanism
during the lifetime of the appliance as
the sealing rope will compress over
time, this is achieved by the adjusting
the bracket on the body of the stove
to the required tension.
Summer
• When the stove is not going to be
used for long periods e.g. the summer
months, we recommend that you keep
the air slides fully open and the door
slightly ajar if possible. This will help to
prevent condensation which may in
turn lead to internal corrosion of
component parts.
We recommend that the appliance is serviced
annually by a competent engineer to ensure it’s
continued safe operation.
