Chimney and Flue ways
It is important that the chimney, flue ways and any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly.
This means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and at least twice a year for wood and other
fuels. The baffle brick will need to be removed from its supports in order to sweep the chimney
(see assembly instructions).
Only wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a guide wheel should be used.
If it is not possible to sweep all parts of the chimney through the appliance, ensure there is
adequate access to cleaning doors.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month after
installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion
between the stove and the open fire.
Seasonal Use
- if the appliance has been unused for a long period of time, such as during the
spring and summer months, a competent person should check the chimney for potential
obstructions before lighting the stove.
Gaskets
All gasket used on this appliance are produced from a heat resistant material called Manniglas.
The glass gasket will have to be replaced when a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets
become brittle after firing the stove. Over time, you may also find, that the gasket changes
colour. This is due to a reduction in the pigment used in the manufacture of the product and no
cause for concern.
