Sweeping the Chimney
Open the door and push up the top vermiculite boards, one at a time
from the centre of the stove until the baffle comes away from the side
lining of the stove. Support the boards and lower it down into from the
side boards for the second board.
Once the top board has been removed the side and rear boards can be
removed. There is now unrestricted access to the flue pipe through the
top of the stove.
Ash Removal
Wood burns best on a bed of ash, so, except when the stove is new,
always leave approximately 20mm of ash in the bottom of the stove.
Empty your ash when it is about 40mm deep, leaving the bed of 20mm.
Always ensure the ash bed is at least 30mm below the front lip of the
combustion box to prevent logs from rolling out forwards.
Do not compress ash in the stove – this will not allow it to burn, and will
result in throwing away fuel.
When the stove is going to be left for long periods of time it is advisable
to empty the stove of all ash and leave the air control fully open to allow
air to circulate.
Cleaning the Stove Body
Clean the body of the stove with a dry cloth or clean, soft brush. Do not
rub the stove hard or with an abrasive substance as it will mark the
paint.
Care of Glass
The first few firings will cure the paint and we recommend that you
clean the glass after this has happened. This will ensure that there are
no contaminates on the glass to attract further staining. After a time the
glass does deteriorate but to prolong the life:
•
Clean the glass each time before re-lighting, this prevents fly-ash
from being fired onto the glass
•
Clean glass with a ceramic glass cleaner
