Door Adjustment
The door is unlikely to become misaligned unless it is knocked and attempts at adjustment may
cause rather than solve a problem. Always consult your
Coonara
dealer before attempting any
adjustment to the door.
1. Remove door by opening fully and lifting door up off the hinge. (BWIA model also requires
removal of top grill to allow door to lift off. Freestanding models require top panel to be
propped up prior to lifting door).
2. Loosen the top & bottom screws securing the door hinge to the front of the firebox upright.
3. Move the hinge left or right as necessary and re-tighten the screws.
4. In some cases, to enable adequate adjustment, it may be necessary to also loosen the centre
to relocate the entire hinge.
Mark door sealing edge with coloured chalk and close the door. Re-open and check the door is
aligned properly via the chalk mark left on the fibreglass door seal of the heater.
NOTE: The door handle may pull the door down on the right hand side, compensate for this
situation during adjustment.
Flue system
Under normal conditions, using dry hardwood and employing correct operating procedures, annual
flue maintenance should take place prior to the heating season. If your heater’s performance
deteriorates, or if it smokes excessively after a trouble free period of operation, the cause may be
creosote. The creosote will have built up to a level where the gases are restricted from exiting the
flue pipe because it is partially blocked.
CAUTION:
THE FLUE PIPE MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND IN GOOD CONDITION. ALL
SOLID FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES NEED TO BE CLEANED FREQUENTLY BECAUSE
SOOT, CREOSOTE AND ASH MAY ACCUMULATE. IN THE EVENT OF A SOOT OR
CREOSOTE FIRE IN THE FLUE, IMMEDIATELY CLOSE THE AIR INLET CONTROL TO
STARVE THE FIRE OF OXYGEN. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU CALL THE FIRE
BRIGADE FOR FUTHER ASSISTANCE AND ADVICE. WHEN THE FIRE IS OUT, HAVE
THE FLUE INSPECTED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER TO ENSURE THERE HAS NOT
BEEN ANY DAMAGE TO THE FLUE SYSTEM.
For cleaning the flue, you may purchase a flue brush from your
Coonara
dealer, or you can engage
the services of a chimney sweep.
