Charnwood Cove 2B, Operating & Installation Instructions Manual

air control should be left fully open and the fire door left ajar. It is

also advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying

the inside of the door and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will

also help to keep all internal parts working well.

After long periods where the fire has been out of use, the chimney

and appliance flueways should be cleaned before lighting.

For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals

are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or

frayed and replace them when necessary.

It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in

first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly,

check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing any

parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the door

seals are in good condition and that the door seals correctly. A

servicing guide is available on request. Repairs or modifications may

only be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents.

Use only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.

It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept

clean. They should be checked approximately once a week, by

looking up into the firebox for signs of soot or fly-ash on the throat

plate and at the sides of the firebox. If there are signs of a build up of

soot or fly-ash deposits then the fire must be allowed to go out in

order to clean the throat plate and flueways.

Before attempting to clean the throat plate and flueways ensure that

the fire is cold. Wear suitable gloves to prevent irritation from soot

deposits. To remove the throat plate lift the front edge up, pull the

plate forwards to align the slots with the support pegs and then hinge

the plate down from its back supports. Lift up from the back

supports and rotate to remove through the doorway. (see Fig. 4.)

The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. Where a top

outlet is used it will generally be possible to sweep the chimney

through the appliance.

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.

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.

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) that a suitable fuel is being used,

d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room,

e) that 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 (25Pa) should be

obtained).
