Adjusting the door hinges
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period of time the fire
door may appear to have moved out of alignment with relation to the door
aperture or catch. This is quite normal and due to the settling of the
casting.
Doors attached with two hinges fixed to the body with screws can
be re-aligned as follows:
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles
to the front of the stove and then lift the fire door up off its hinges.
Gently tap the hinge pins to compensate for the misalignment and then
re-fit the door and check to ensure it now sits square to the body; if not
repeat the above steps.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions
below:
When the appliance is cold, open the fire door so that it is at right angles
to the front of the stove and lift the fire door up off the hinges.
Drop one washer on the top and bottom hinge pins. Fit the door and
check. Repeat again if necessary.

Liners / firebricks
The stoves liners (also known as firebricks) may become cracked after
long periods of heavy use or after being knocked by the loading of fuel
or a poorly aimed fire poker. If the liners are still staying in situ and are
able to support the throat plate correctly there is no need to replace them.
Cracked liners will not in themselves affect the performance of the stove.
