10. CLEANING THE FLUE
Check inside of flue prior to each season for any
build-up of creosote (wood tar). To do this:
1. First remove the baffle (refer to “2.
Replacement of Baffle Plate”
under
Maintenance & Servicing section).
2. Using a small mirror and torch hold the mirror
on an angle below the flue with the torch
shining at it and look for black creosote
build-up. A fine black powdery layer is
normal, but if built up layers of creosote can
be seen, then the flue needs cleaning.
3. Refit the baffle if no cleaning is required.
To clean the flue:
1. A flue cleaning brush can be purchased
from most wood heater retail outlets or
large hardware stores.
2. The objective is to pull the brush down
through the flue.
3. With the baffle removed, tie a rope to one
end of the brush, and drop the rope from
the top (outside on top of the roof) down
the flue.
4. Grab the end of the rope inside the firebox
and pull the brush through.
5. Check the inside of the flue with the mirror
and torch. Repeat if necessary.
6. Once clean, remove any excess creosote
from the firebox and replace the baffle.
Check flue integrity by checking that the 900mm
flue sections have not separated at the joins.
Alternatively, get a flue cleaning service to do the
job for you (it’s a dirty job).
11. TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
11.1. GLASS IN DOOR BLACKENING
This can have several possible causes:
● Burning unseasoned wood — if the wood is
too wet, it will cause the glass to blacken.
● Appliance operated at low temperature —
after an overnight burn where the air slide
control has been fully closed, the glass may
have blackened. When the fire is re-stoked
and burning on the high heat setting, the
blackened glass should self-clean.
● Problems with the flue — insufficient flue
draught can cause the glass to blacken.
If the flue is too short, not properly
insulated, or in a position that results in a
downdraught, then there will be insufficient
flue draught. Contact the installer should
this happen.
11.2. TROUBLE STARTING THE FIRE
If all ash has been removed from the firebox, it
can upset the supply of air to the base of the fire.
When cleaning out the firebox, retaining some ash
can make it easier to start the fire next time.
11.3. DOOR LATCH MISALIGNMENT
Over time the door may drop slightly, which can
result in the door latch not operating smoothly. In
the event that this happens, refer to “4. Adjusting
the Door Hinge”
11.4. BURNING TOO QUICKLY
If you find that the heater is burning through wood
too quickly, see below:
1. Latch needs adjustment (refer to “5.
Adjusting the Door Latch”)
2. Door seal needs replacing (refer to”6. Fitting
a New Door Seal”)
3. Baffle needs replacing (refer to “2.
Replacement of Baffle Plate”)
