Important
It is very unusual to have to re-align the fire door. This job is very fiddly and only to be attempted if necessary. The
doors are jigged at the factory for alignment to the stove body, but should you need to adjust them use a 10mm
spanner and adjust the bolts attaching the hinges to the stove body. The hinge block is fastened to the body of the
stove through an enlarged hole giving adjustment horizontally, and on shim plates giving adjustment of the throw
of the door to the stove body.
On side mounted hinge models you will need a 13mm spanner, and 5mm allen key to adjust the allen grubscrews
in the hinge block, this gives movement in all directions and is fiddly to adjust.
Method clue :
- Have the fire door open at 90
o
to the stove and then only partially loosen the fixing bolt so that the
mechanism does not become loose.
GLASS PANELS AND CLEANING
There are two panels of glass in each door. They are made of a heat resistant ceramic product which will not
break with the heat of the fire. However, it is important to maintain the movement of the glass within the door as,
if the glass is restricted, it is likely to crack with the expansion or contraction of the cast door. To achieve this it
has heat resistant fibre glass ladder rope around the edges and this should be replaced if it is showing signs of
deterioration.
The glass can be cleaned when hot without damage to the panel although care must be taken not to burn your
fingers etc., also care must be taken with aerosol cleaners and cleaning cloths. We recommend the proprietary
stove glass cleaners. When solid fuel is being burnt any sooty deposits on the glass can be cleaned simply by
wiping with a dry cloth.
If the stove glass becomes dirty this is either due to the closing of the airwash before the fuel is up to temperature
and/or wood fuel is too wet. If a routine is established of hard burning on secondary air only for 20 minutes at
each end of the day this will assist in keeping your glass clean.
REPLACEMENT OF GLASS PANELS
Carefully lift the fire door from its hinge pins and lay it down - preferably on a soft substance - being aware of the
door fastening catch. The outer glass panel (furthest from the fire) is mounted on fibre glass ladder rope which
should surround all the edges (diagram 7). Caution is required when replacing this glass panel as the ladder
rope has a tendency to slip out of position as the glass is fitted. The second or inner panel then fits directly on
top of the outer followed by the top and bottom steel glass retainer and the whole held together by the 6 x (M4 x
10mm) machine screws. It is recommended to apply some heat resistant copper grease or graphite grease to the
screws and
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THEM
as the glass panels will crack.
The stove requires both of these glass panels in place to achieve a clean burn state as they act in a similar way
to double glazing in a domestic window.
FIRE DOORS FOR ALL MODELS
Check when refitting the fire door that the rope seal on the inner face of the door is making an even contact with
the stove body when the door is closed. Your New Wildwood Stove has a new style door catch to make it easier
and safer to use your stove. Use the tool provided to locate onto the upright part of the door catch and turn to the
left to open and to the ‘lock’ position to close. If necessary this door catch can be adjusted, by loosening the lock
nut (shown in blue diagram 6) with an 8mm spanner. Rotate the dome headed set screw (shown in green)
anti-clockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen seal, then re-tighten the lock nut.
Stop pin (shown in red) holds
the assembly together.
It is important to keep this washer
(shown in yellow) on the reverse
side of the stove.
