This should be done by and competent person
such as a
NACS
chimney engineer who will
provide a Certificate of Chimney Sweeping.
Sweep the whole flue way, including the outlet at
least twice a year per burning season.
It is important that the flue ways, flue pipe and
chimney be cleaned prior to lighting the fire after
a prolonged shut-down period.
The appliance will require ash to be removed
periodically.
Ash may be removed with a small metal shovel
whilst the fire is still alight, by raking the embers
of a low fire to one side of the firebox and
carefully removing the ash.
Repeating the procedure for the other side of the
firebox. Care must be taken not to risk burning
your hands or household objects from falling
embers.
The ash pan should be emptied at least twice a
day or when the ash reaches the top of the ash
pan.
On no account should the ash be allowed to
build up to touch the underside of the grate bars,
as this will greatly reduce the life span of the
grate.

Removing the Ashpan
Periodically visually check over the door rope
seal for any damage, cuts or tears and detached
sections.
The rope gasketing can be replaced, using a
universal roping kit.
Instructions for rope replacement are as follows:
• Ensure the appliance is cold
• Unscrew the hinges and lift the door off the
appliance and lay onto a flat surface with the
rear face upwards
• Carefully remove the old rope gasket and old
adhesive.
• Take note of the layout of the rope seal.
Ensure no traces of the old adhesive or rust /
flaky paint is present, as this will result in an
unsound joint.
• Apply the rope adhesive following the
instructions on the bottle
• Press the rope gasketing into the channel
on the rear door casting, following the same
layout as the old rope seal.
• Just before the final end, cut the rope seal to
length and glue into positio.
• Allow at least 30 minutes before refitting the
door to the appliance.
