The flue and flue pipe will require cleaning with a suitable chimney brush, to minimise build up of soot and tar.
You chimney will also require periodic sweeping.
If the glass becomes stained from the inside, the air-wash vent may need opening more during use.
The high temperature paint which your stove is finished in should last many years with normal use, but when it
does eventually require re-finishing, black heat resistant paint in spray cans can be purchased from most hardware
stores. – Do not use regular paint which is not high temperature resistant.
After prolonged periods of not using the fire, the stove and flue system should be checked for blockages prior to re-
lighting.
We recommend regular servicing and safety checks are carried out by a qualified engineer.
There must be no unauthorised modification of the appliance. Use only replacement parts recommended by the
manufacturer.
