CHIMNEY SWEEPING
TROUBLE SHOOTING
The chimney should be swept twice per year. Where a top outlet is
used it will generally be possible to sweep the chimney through the
appliance.
If the stove has been fitted to replace an open fire then the chimney
should be swept after one month of using the stove to clear any soot
falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and the open fire.
First remove the side fire plates, and the throat plate.
Then sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all
horizontal surfaces after sweeping.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance
the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.
After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the flue
pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.
After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate
(see 4), the front firebar .
Different types of sweep's brushes are available to suit different
flueways. For standard brick chimneys a wire centre sweep's brush
fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated
insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to
sweeping should be consulted.

Fire Will Not Burn
Check that:
a) the air inlet at the rear of the stove is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) that a suitable fuel is being used,
d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney, (once the chimney is warm a
draught reading of at least 0.10 inches (2.5mm) water gauge (25 Pa)
should be obtained).
Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of experimentation
due to the differences in the draw of different chimneys. The
following points should be noted and with a little care should enable
the glass to be kept clean in most situations:
a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well
established before closing the air control. This also applies when re-
fuelling the stove.
b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebar as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.
c) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the
glass to blacken.
d) There is a bypass slide that can be adjusted to suit the particular
installation. This allows a small amount of airwash air to enter the
stove even when the air control is closed. This can be adjusted to help
with keeping the glass clean when the fire is slumbering.
It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.
Check that all flue connections and the blanking plate are well sealed.
It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient, (when the
chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 0.10 inches water
gauge (25 Pa) should be obtained), and that it is not affected by
down-draught.
Occasionally some blackening of the glass may occur below the level
of the front firebars. This will not obscure the view of the fire or
affect its performance.

Fume Emission
Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the
