If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after
installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and the open fire.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use -
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time
then it should be given a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a
good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the
air controls fully open
If the appliance has been unused for a long period of time, such as during the spring and summer
months, a competent person should check the chimney for potential obstructions before lighting
the stove.
As Necessary
Gaskets
All gasket used on this appliance are produced from a heat resistant material called Manniglas.
The glass gasket will have to be replaced when a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets
become brittle after firing the stove. Over time, you may also find, that the gasket changes
colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in the manufacture of the product and no
cause for concern.
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
proprietary stove paint.
Single Door Catch
The door catch may require adjustment to maintain the door seal. By slackening the locking nut
and turning the door handle one turn you will achieve a tighter lock when the door is closed.
Double Door Catch
The door catch may require adjustment to maintain the door seal. By slackening the socket set
screw and turning the catch shaft one turn you will achieve a tighter lock when the door is closed.
