8 Care for your Ecoboiler stove
The following items should be checked on your stove at regular intervals to help ensure that the
safe and efficient use of your stove continues for many years to come. This should only be done
when the stove is unlit and cold.
8.1 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 of alignment with relation to the door aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due to
the settling of the casting. Doors attached with two hinges fixed to the body with screws can be re
-
aligned as follows:
1.
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the
stove and then lift the fire door up off of its hinges.
2.
Gently tap the hinge pins to compensate for the misalignment and then re-fit the door and
check to ensure it now sits square to the body; if not repeat the previous step.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions below:
1.
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the
stove and lift the fire door up of the hinges.
2.
Drop one washer on the top and bottom hinge pins. Fit the door and check. Repeat again if
necessary.
8.2 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.
8.3 Cracked glass
It is not recommended to operate the stove with cracked glass; this can lead to over firing due to
air leaking into the firebox and it may fail completely leading to personal injury or a fire.
You
should discontinue use of your stove until it has been repaired. You can source replacement
glass kits from
