The efficient operation of your appliance is dependant on its correct operation and maintenance. Leaving
soot to accumulate inside the areas mentioned above, will drastically reduce the output of the appliance and
prevent it from doing what it is designed to.
13D GLASS
CLEANING:
There are various glass cleaners you can buy at stove shops that are specially designed to remove
hydrocarbon (soot) and fly ash (mineral) deposits from the glass. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Typically, just spray a small amount of cleaner on the glass and use a paper towel or rag to wipe it clean.
If you only burn logs in your appliance, then you can dip a damp cloth in the ash and use this to scrub the
glass clean.
14.0 FLUE
MAINTAINENCE:
If your appliance is installed into an existing chimney, you will need to clean the chimney as well as the flue
pipe at least twice a year. To do this you will need the appropriate sized chimney brush and rods. Call a
certified chimney sweep (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) or other qualified professional to clean
the flue system. These professionals have the equipment and the experience to do a thorough job. The
sweep will advise you as to the intervals that you should have your flue swept. We would recommend that you
have it swept at least twice a year, but you may need to sweep it more.
Get them to inspect the condition of all the associated chimney items at the same time.
Be sure to check the pipe at least once every six months to determine if it has corroded.
14A ROPE
SEALS:
For the appliance to operate correctly, it is important that all the seals; where fitted; are in good condition
and are sealing correctly. They should be replaced if they are showing excessive signs of fraying and are not
making a good seal. They are glued into position using a high temperature, flexible, silicone sealant
14B AIR
CONTROLS:
Ensure that all the air controls operate smoothly and are free from ash or other foreign bodies. Pay
particular attention to the damper flap at the rear of the ash drawer. Clean this area with care and ensure
that excessive amounts of ash are kept from building up and affecting the operation of this control.
