Inner Grate Removal and Replacement
Lift the inner grate vertically until it clears
the locating pin of the riddling
mechanism housed in the ash pan chamber,
then manoeuvre the grate out of the
stove. When replacing, ensure the slot
engages with the pin.
Outer Grate Removal and Replacement
Remove all the bricks and the inner grate.
Lift the outer grate up at an angle
left higher than right and manoeuvre the grate out left side first. There is always a knack to such a task, but it is easy
once learnt!
Stove Body
The stove is finished with a heat-resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a soft brush. Do not clean whilst the stove
is hot, wait until it has cooled down. The finish can be renovated with Capitalstove paint available from your supplier.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with Capital glass cleaner. Highly abrasive substances should be avoided as these can
scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult. Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy
slamming of doors could crack the glass panels. The glass will not fracture from heat.
Should a glass panel require replacement, then
remove the four screws and clips
retaining the glass frame, carefully remove the
broken glass and replace the panel with
the correct stove glass from your supplier.
Ensure you use new glass fibre seal
around its edge, and use the steel frame, clips
and screws to retain it in position.
Seasonal Maintenance
If your stove is be unused for any length of
time, e.g. summer months, then it is
recommended that it is cleaned out
thoroughly. Air slides should be lightly
oiled with WD40 or similar and left partially
open to allow air circulation. Regular
monitoring of the inside components will identify condensation or water ingress. If these problems occur, then your
stove needs to be dried and the cause of the problem rectified. After a shut down, and before reuse, the appliance
should be cleaned again and the chimney swept, it is essential to have the chimney swept at least once annually and it
is recommended that it is swept twice a year.
