DEFRA Stove Installation and User Guide
11.1
Adjusting the door hinges
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period of time the fire door may
appear to have moved out of alignment with relation to the door aperture or
catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of the casting.
Doors attached with two hinges fixed to the body with screws can be
re-aligned as follows:
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to
the front of the stove and then lift the fire door up off its hinges.
Gently tap the hinge pins to compensate for the misalignment and then re-fit
the door and check to ensure it now sits square to the body; if not repeat the
above steps.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions below:
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles to
the front of the stove and lift the fire door up off the hinges.
Drop one washer on the top and bottom hinge pins. Fit the door and check.
Repeat again if necessary.
11.2
Liners / firebricks
The stoves liners (also known as firebricks) may become cracked after long
periods of heavy use or after being knocked by the loading of fuel or a poorly
aimed fire poker. If the liners are still staying in situ and are able to support the
throat plate correctly there is no need to replace them. Cracked liners will not in
themselves affect the performance of the stove.
11.3
Throat plate
The throat plate should be removed from the stove and checked once a month
and any accumulated deposits should be cleaned off. This is best done with a
brush. After a period of time the throat plate may begin to corrode or distort
and will require replacing. A replacement throat plate can be sourced from your
dealer or at www.aradastoves.com.
