CLEANING YOUR HEATER
Clean the heater with a damp cloth
when required. Do not use abrasives
or polish sprays.
If you mark the paint, touch up paint is
available from your dealer.
CLEANING THE FLUE
Your flue should be cleaned every
year to prevent creosote build up, as
this may ignite and cause a flue fire.
To prevent creosote build up, don’t
burn wet wood and don’t burn heater
on low all the time. A hot fire every few
days will help keep the flue clean.
Also, don’t forget to clean the gaps in
between the heat exchange tubes
inside the firebox.

CLEANING THE FAN
The fan will provide years of trouble
free service if maintained correctly.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT
YOU CLEAN AND VACUUM YOUR
FAN AT THE BEGINNING AND END
OF EACH BURNING SEASON.
Before cleaning, switch fan off at
power point and disconnect.
Vacuum the blades and surrounding
area to prevent dust build up that may
overload and cause premature failure
of the fan.
CONSOLE
- Remove rear pedestal
cover. Undo the screws and remove
fan and mounting brackets.
INSERT
- Remove the heater top
mantle and air slide knob. To remove
the fascia, undo the screws at the top
and the 2 screws at the bottom. The
fascia will come away from the insert
cabinet and give access to the fan.
!
Service your heater during Spring
or early Summer. This minimises
the corrosive effects of creosote
and condensation during the off-
season.
!
Check the condition of the heater
and flue, door seals, baffles, etc.
!
Check for bird nests in or near the
flue system in the roof cavity.
!
If loose insulation has been added
to the ceiling, i.e. blow-in cellulose,
etc., check carefully that none has
built up in the flue cavity area.
Or alternatively,
!
Get an early bird service call from
an experienced installer/service
person.
!
Contact your retailer.
Flue Checks
!
Your wood heater should be
serviced once a year and have your
flue cleaned regularly by your local
chimney sweep.
!
Creosote is a substance formed by
solid fuel combustion. Creosote
and resin build up can cause flue
fires.
!
Check the flue prior to each winter.
Make it a habit to look outside and
check your flue for smoke. If it’s
smoking excessively, you are
wasting fuel and heat and may be
causing unnecessary emissions.
You need to increase the air supply
to the fire. A little air avoids a lot of
smoke.
