Glue the second seal on the first pane of glass and place the second sheet over this.
Replace and tighten the screws and brackets. Take care not to over tighten the screws. The glass has to
expand and contract with each lighting, and the rope seal lets this movement happen.
Enamel is in effect a layer of glass so the Mr Mussel glass cleaner and or a cheaper multi-surface
cleaner ( not a wax polish) is good for keeping the enamel bright and help prevent food sticking and
burning on.
Chimney sweeping & maintenance
Your chimney should be swept at least once a year by a registered sweep, twice a year with heavy use. The sweep
should also replace the fire cement at the base of the flue if necessary.
The chimney sweep must also remove the hot plate using the handle provided and vacuum inside very gently,
inspecting the condition of the baffles.
Also the inspection cleaning plate in the middle of the bottom, of the top oven, must be removed and the chamber
vacuumed clear of ash.
All rope and glass seals should be checked annually and replaced as necessary.
If the cooker has not been used for a prolonged period, in excess of 6 months, the chimney should be swept prior to
use to check for blockages and rubble and debris blocking the flue ways.
NOTE; All solid fuel appliances produce considerably more Carbon Monoxide in normal use than oil or gas
appliances. But the general ‘smell’ of the smoke or exhaust is much stronger (with perhaps the exception of
smokeless fuel) and more easily detected by a healthy person. Always use your appliance with the doors
shut and look for telltale signs of excessive leakage. Smoke stains above the firebox door, smoke emitting
around the door when running, smoke stains where the vitreous enamel flue meets the chimney or register
plate, a strong smell of soot upstairs etc. There is no such thing as a gas tight chimney, but there has to be a
negative pressure inside a chimney for it to draw oxygen through the fire box. Check the seals at the joints
annually and re-fire cement as required, check especially the joint of the flue pipe to the chimney register
plate. Hairline cracks are OK, but lumps of cement missing are a bad joint. A proper proprietary joint should
be used here, as they are far superior to cement and rope seals.
Never block air vents internally and externally
The surface of the appliance is hot in normal use; guards should be used when young children or infirm
people are around. Avoid all flammable materials within 300mm of the appliance.
In the event of a chimney fire, shut the air vent right down. If possible throw table or dishwasher salt onto
the fire.
Never modify or fit parts not recommended by the manufacturer to the appliance.
Never use this appliance in the same flue as another appliance.
Trouble shooting:
In essence a wood stove or cooker is a fairly simple, robust appliance, and although modern ones are more
sophisticated than 10 years ago, they are not full of parts that fail easily & it is nearly always obvious if one
of these parts has been broken or has failed. The glass is double glazed so if the inner or outer glass cracks
the appliance is still safe to use for a few days till the broken glass can be replaced. It is a simple screwdriver
job and does not require professional attention.
