chimney. This is an inefficient process which greatly increases the risk of a
chimney fire and makes it necessary to sweep the chimney more often.
ASH REMOVAL
Keep the stove free from a heavy buildup of ash. The frequency of this is
dependant upon the type and quality of fuel being used. Ash should be
removed before it builds up to the underside of the grate, at which point, the
grate would be burning hot on both sides, shortening its life expectancy.
When disposing of ashes, ensure they have cooled and always place in a
metal container. Be sure to remove the ash when the fire is at its lowest point,
such as first thing in the morning.
The Vac Ash Can Filter is ideal for use in conjunction with the Vac King range
of vacuum cleaners, for collecting hot ash and debris from stoves.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The inside of the stove may require regular cleaning, especially during
periods of peak use, the frequency of this being indicated by experience. It is
advisable to wear a dust mask, protective gloves and safety glasses when
cleaning.
Use a stiff brush and industrial type vacuum cleaner to dislodge and remove
as much material as possible, starting at the top of the stove and working
down to the bottom. Particular attention should be given to the air inlet
controls which can become obstructed. A ‘Vac’ Ash Can Filter and Vac King
vacuum cleaner is ideal for this process.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Take this opportunity to check for any damaged parts inside the stove. In the
event of damage or broken components, replacements can be obtained
from Clarke Parts & Service. On no account should unauthorised spare parts
be used.
The stove and flueway should be inspected and maintained when in a cold
condition. No unauthorised modification of this product should be carried
out. This stove requires regular maintenance by a competent engineer.
STOVE BODY
The stove is finished with a heat-resistant paint which can be cleaned with a
soft brush. Wait until the stove has cooled down before doing this. This finish
can be renovated with Clarke stove paint,although the paint may not be an
exact match and it may be necessary to repaint the complete stove. If the
stove is purely ornamental, painting will provide a durable, attractive finish. If
the stove is used for heating, a high temperature heat resistant paint (avail-
able from your Clarke dealer) must be used, in either aerosol or brush
