SPILLAGE MONITORING SYSTEM
This appliance is fitted with a spillage monitoring system, which shuts down the stove if the
evacuation of combustion products from the stove is affected by a partially or fully blocked
flue.
If this system operates the stove will go out. If this occurs, leave the stove for ten minutes
then follow the lighting procedure as described in the previous section.
In the event of
repeated operation a specialist must be called to investigate and rectify the cause.
CLEANING
WARNING
Before attempting any cleaning operation ensure that the stove has been allowed to fully
cool.
Cleaning cast iron painted surfaces (Classic Black)
Ensure the stove is cool, The cast iron painted stove usually remains clean and does not
suffer from fingerprints, however occasionally you may need to use a slightly damp cloth to
clean the cast iron surface, it is important that you do this whilst the stove is cool.
If you need to touch-up an area on the stove proceed as follows. Allow the stove to cool.
With a wire brush treat any areas needing attention (only cast iron). Ensure that the
surface is clean and dry.
Touch-up the area with Vermont Castings High Temperature Stove paint.
Take care when using the paint as two coats will give better results than one thick coat.
Cleaning porcelain enamel surfaces (Red enamel or Forest Green)
Ensure the stove has been allowed to fully cool. It is important that water or any other
liquids are not used to clean this appliance. Any fingerprints or marks can usually be
buffed off with a soft cloth. If this fails allow the stove to fully cool and use a damp cloth.
Allow to fully dry before re-lighting, as this will leave streaks on the enamel surface.
Abrasive cleaners, chemical cleaning agents or any type of polish must never be
used
. This would expose the cast iron and may stain or begin to rust.
Cleaning the fuelbed
The coals and fuel bed should be periodically examined and any debris or deposits
removed. A vacuum cleaner must not be used to do this as damage to the coals may
result. To remove any deposits from the coals they should be removed from the stove and
placed on a clean sheet of paper (it is advisable to keep the front coals in order and then
each coal can be replaced in the same location). The coals should then be carefully
brushed with a soft brush.
With all coals removed, the fuel bed components and insulating mat may be carefully lifted
out of the stove. The fuel bed components must also be cleaned by gently brushing with a
soft brush.
None of these parts must be washed or exposed to any cleaning agents
or water
.
