MAINTENANCE OF YOUR LOGAIRE FIRE
To keep your woodstove burning clean and efficient it is important that you carry out regular maintenance:
1.
It is wise to perform a visual inspection of the fire approximately once a month, in order to ensure
that no parts have been damaged, in which case repairs must be performed without delay.
2.
In the unlikely event of the door glass breaking, a replacement can be purchased from your Logaire
dealer.
NOTE: Do not operate your heater with broken glass and under no circumstances should a non-
ceramic type glass be used.
3.
Never wash the glass or fire with a product that may scratch it. Logaire fires have a vitreous
enamel surface, which just needs wiping clean.
4.
Ash removal – due to the high efficiency of your Logaire woodstove ash removal should only be
necessary every few weeks. Ashes can be removed easily through the fire door when the fire is at
its lowest, such as first thing in the morning or when it is completely out. Logaire wood fires work
best when a small amount of ash (approximately 20mm deep) is left in the firebox after cleaning.
This insulates the bottom and prevents the base of the stove overheating and burning out. In fact,
building up the ash bed helps extend the long burn cycle while reducing the ash bed encourages
greater heat output.
5.
Firebox – check the firebricks, top baffle and interior surfaces. These parts are subjected to con-
siderably high temperatures and stress and some parts will eventually need replacing.
6.
Doors – Check all gaskets used for wear and replace if necessary. Adjust door fitting if required.
7.
Lubricating – All moving parts should be lubricated with graphite grease every couple of months.
CHIMNEY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF FLUES
For all wood heaters, flue cleaning must be done regularly to avoid serious flue fires. Frequently used heat-
ers should be cleaned at least once a year (some sooner). The cleaning rate however depends on the burning
habits of the individual operating the wood heater. For example, it is possible to clog a flue in just a few
weeks if smouldering fires are burnt and the flue is run cold. It is recommended that flue sweeping be done
by a professional chimney sweep. Chimney sweeping is a specialist task and competent professional
sweeps are available throughout the country.
Flues should be checked at least once or twice a heating season. Flues may require checking more often if
the fuel or operation of the appliance is incorrect. When a flue becomes excessively blocked or requires
frequent cleaning, advice should be sought to investigate the installation and the operation of the heater.
Flues can deteriorate very quickly with incorrect firing.
