deposits. To remove the throat plate lift it up, pull it forwards to clear
the back brick, raise the left hand side and lower the right hand side
and then rotate the right hand side towards you through the
doorway (see Fig. 4).
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
The chimney should be swept at least once a year. Where a top
outlet is used it will generally be possible to sweep the chimney
through the appliance.
First remove the front firebar, side fire plates, and the throat plate.
Then sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all
horizontal surfaces after sweeping.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance
the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.
After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the flue
pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.
After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate
(see Fig. 4), the side fireplates, and front firebar.
Different types of sweep's brushes are available to suit different
flueways. For standard brick chimneys a wire centre sweep's brush
fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated
insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to
sweeping should be consulted.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Fire Will Not Burn
Check that:
a) the air inlet at the rear of the stove is not obstructed in any way,
b) chimneys and flueways are clear,
c) a suitable fuel is being used,
d) there is an adequate air supply into the room,
e) an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.
f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney (once the chimney is warm a
draught reading of at least
(0.10 inches water gauge) should be
obtained).
Blackening of Door Glass
Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of experimentation
due to the differences in the draw of different chimneys. The
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire
then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to
clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in
combustion between the stove and the open fire.
25Pa
following points should be noted and with a little care should enable
the glass to be kept clean in most situations:
a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,
therefore, when lighting the stove allow the fire bed to become well
established before closing the air control. This also applies when re-
fuelling the stove.
b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebar as
possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.
c) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the
glass to blacken.
d) There is a bypass slide that can be adjusted to suit the particular
installation. This allows a small amount of airwash air to enter the
stove even when the air control is closed. This can be adjusted to help
with keeping the glass clean when the fire is slumbering (see Fig. 5).
It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the
stove very slowly for long periods.
Check that all flue connections and the blanking plate are well sealed.
It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient
hen the chimney is warm a draught
reading of at least 0.10 inches water gauge(25pa) should be obtained.
Fume Emission
Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will
not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling
may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and
must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the
following immediate actions should be taken:
a) Open doors and windows to ventilate the room, and then leave
the premises.
b) Let the fire go out.
c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
