Clean Air CACL19MB, Руководство пользователя, Страница: 13 / 15

Your heater has been designed as a heavy duty appliance capable of withstanding normal operating
conditions.
Care
The firebox liners where fitted must be treated
with care. Avoid throwing logs into the firebox
as this may fracture the liners.
Cleaning
Painted surfaces: to clean painted surfaces,
wipe over with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use
harsh solvents and cleaning agents as these
can damage the coating. Buff dry with a soft,
dry cloth.
If your heater is installed in a coastal
environment, where salt air will come in
contact with the heater, this cleaning process
should be performed weekly to avoid the salt
causing deterioration of the paint and
subsequently rust.
Door glass: sometimes black deposits will
build up on the inside of the door glass. To
remove this build up, rub gently with a plastic
scourer pad moistened with water and
detergent. Then use the damp and dry cloths
as before. Hot glass cleaner is also available
from your heater retailer.
Routine Maintenance Schedule
At beginning of the season.
*
Inspect and clean the flue system, If
required. To do this, remove the baffle plate
and flue cowl, clean out with a flue brush.
*
Check the painted surfaces. If there is any
wear, for instance from cleaning or
abrasion, touch up paint is available from
your dealer.
At end of season
*
Inspect the door glass for any cracks and
replace if necessary.
*
Inspect door rope and seals and replace if
necessary.
*
Inspect firebox for wear.
*
Inspect firebox liners where fitted and
replace if broken.
*
Check that the air slide moves smoothly. If it
is sticky, lubricate it with high temperature
grease available from your local hardware
store.
*
Inspect fan for dirt build up and remove dust
if necessary. Excess dirt build up can
damage fan, which may void the warranty.
Fan can be accessed by removing the front
panel on the heater column.
Creosote Build Up
When the heater is continually burnt with lower
than normal fire temperatures, eg due to
unseasoned wood, higher than acceptable
amounts of smoke are produced which
condense on the inside of the flue. This builds
up as a black, tar-like deposit called creosote.
A thin layer of creosote inside the flue is normal
and will not cause a problem. Once there is a
layer more than 3mm thick, problems can
occur.
1. If the layer is thick enough, it restricts the flue
and can cause insufficient draw and even
smoke spillage back into the house.
2. More seriously, creosote is combustible,
and can ignite. A flue fire is easy to detect,
involving a roaring sound, a vibration of the
flue, and sometimes flames and sparks
shoot out of the top of the flue.
To avoid creosote build up and the fires that
may result, burn seasoned wood with the air
control set to medium or high for most of the
time.
To remove creosote when it does build up,
remove the baffle plate and flue cowl, and use
a flue brush to clean the flue system. To
remove the baffle plate, slide the plate up on
one side and then down around the brackets
on the other.
In case of a flue fire, do not panic. Your flue
system has been constructed to withstand
high temperatures. Immediately close the air
control down to its lowest setting. Do not open
the door. Once the fire has extinguished, you
should have your flue system inspected by a
qualified service person.
