advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire.
Spraying the inside of the doors and firebox with a light oil,
such as WD40, will also help to keep all internal parts working
well.
After long periods where the fire has been out of use, the
chimney and appliance flueways should be cleaned before
lighting.
For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door
seals are in good condition. Check that they do not become
worn or frayed and replace them when necessary.
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. In most
installations it will be possible to sweep the chimney through
the appliance.
First remove the front firebars 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 appliance to the
chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
After clearing any soot from within the fire, replace the throat
plate and the front firebars.

Servicing
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep
it in first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox
thoroughly, check that all internal parts are in good working
order, replacing any parts that are beginning to show signs of
wear. Check that the door seals are in good condition and that
the doors seal correctly. A servicing guide, TIS 48, is available
on request. Repairs or modifications may only be carried out
by the Manufacturer or their approved agents. Use only
genuine Charnwood replacement parts.
prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers
instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted.
The optional boiler reduction brick may be used when
reduced outputs are required, e.g. during the summer or
when the fire is fitted on to a small heating system.
To fit the brick, let the fire out, clear the grate of any ash and
fuel, and scrape the boiler faces clean. Lift out the deepening
bar and front firebar. Fit the brick into the fire with the thick
part of the brick at the bottom and the sloping face at the
front as shown on the parts list. Push the brick hard up
against the rear face of the boiler. The brick should rest on
the side fireplates and should be clear of the grate bars.
Replace the front firebar and deepening bar.
As the brick is not cemented into position, fitting and
removing it should only take a few minutes.
Check that:
a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) a suitable fuel is being used,
d) there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the fire.
Check that:
a) the doors are tightly closed,
b) the thermostat knob is turned down to the minimum
setting,
c) the air inlet damper is closed (at the bottom left of the
appliance, see Fig. 1) and that it is not prevented from closing
completely by a piece of ash,
d) a suitable fuel is being used,
e) the door seals are in good condition.
If the fire is over-fired it will cause premature failure of the
internal fire parts. Over-firing is occurring when any internal
parts of the fire begin to glow red. To prevent over-firing
