worse in certain wind conditions (often incorrectly ascribed to
'downdraught', which is in fact very rare), where air can be sucked
out of the room. The answer is to fit an air vent, as near to the fire
as possible, facing into the usual wind direction.
DOWNDRAUGHT: Wind can blow
down
a chimney if there is
something higher nearby such as a tree, hill or high building.
Fitting an anti-downdraught cowl to the chimney top can cure this.
Types which cannot be swept through are not recommended.
POOR CHIMNEY DRAUGHT- Chimney draught in use MUST be
at least 12Pa.
CHIMNEY FIRE:
In the rare event of deposits inside the chimney
igniting (roaring sound + dense smoke and sparks from the
chimney) immediately close the door, shut all air controls and call
the fire brigade. Prevent fires by using
very dry fuel
and having
your chimney swept regularly.
MAINTENANCE
MONTHLY
- With the fire cold, remove, clean and refit the throat
(or 'baffle') plate below the flue outlet. Check that the flue is clear
and unblocked, and that the door seals are sound.
ANNUALLY- SWEEP THE CHIMNEY
The entire length of the
chimney from stove to outlet should be swept annually, more often
if smoky fuels are used.
NEW PARTS
Your stove has been extensively tested for safety -
please don't try to modify it and always obtain genuine spare parts
.
SURFACE FINISH
Wipe the stove body with a slightly damp cloth
when cool. NEVER use aerosol spray or wax near the hot fire –
they can ignite. Painted steel parts can be refurbished using
special spray paint. Coloured doors are traditional hand-applied
vitreous enamel - it
will
have small surface imperfections and,
while virtually immune from fading, rust and scratches, it can chip.
Enamel cannot be repainted or repaired.
Your stove generates
VERY
high temperatures. Eventually the
internal parts will require replacement . Help parts to last by:
• Using only very dry logs
• Cleaning the throat plate regularly.
• Avoiding 'over-firing'
