7. Keeping the stove clean.
To clean the stove externally allow it to go out and
simply give it a slight dusting with a very soft small
brush
8. To clean the chimney.
Let the stove go out and remove the baffle plate.
Not required to be done on water heating stoves.
Close the door and all the air valves.
Remove the chimney extension and slowly push a 4”
brush down the chimney.
All the debris should fall into the stove ready to be
cleaned out.
When you are happy that the chimney is clean.
Use a vacuum cleaner to vac all the debris from the
stove.
Note it will be useful if you could enlist an assistant
to stand near to the stove with a vacuum cleaner
running to vac any dust, which may leak from the
stove.
9. To remove the front fret.
Let the stove go out, open the front door, clean the
ashes out and simply lift the front fret up
vertically, twist and remove.
Before replacing it make sure that all the ash is
removed from the base of the two retaining
brackets.
10. Cleaning the door glass.
If you are running the stove correctly and using the
specified fuel the door glass will remain clean,
there may be slight sooting after lighting or re
fuelling but this can be easily removed using a damp
cloth.
If you use house coal and do not refuel as per our
specific instructions on how to refuel, the door
glass will soot up!
Warning
Do not attempt to clean the glass door with a
damp cloth whilst the stove is running or the
door is hot.
If the door glass does become tarred up you will
have to use a glass cleaner available from Bubble
Stoves.
When using these cleaners you should carefully
follow the detailed instructions on the product
packaging.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and items other than
the glass.
Before closing the stove door always make sure
that there are no obstacles likely to break the
glass upon closing.
Do not use the door glass to push awkward shaped
logs into the firebox as this can break the glass.
11. To Replace Door Sealing Rope and Glass
The door sealing rope should be replaced before
the start of the heating season.
The door glass should be replaced if it becomes
etched or discoloured.
Remove the door and lay it down on some bubble
pack.
Support it around its periphery taking great care
not to break the door glass.
Use an old flat bladed screwdriver to scrape the
old rope and cement from the cast socket.
Apply adhesive to the socket and then re fit the
new rope.
To Replace the Door Glass
If you need to replace the door glass make sure
that you order the door glass sealing rope.
