Shut down for prolonged periods
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough
clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a flow of air through the appliance to
reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls open a little way unless
downdraught occurs when they may need to be closed. It is important that the flue connection, any
appliance baffles or throat plates and the chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged
shutdown period.

User Maintenance
See also the Cleaning section above and Maintenance Guide Section below for further information.
Inspect the inside of the firebox and above the baffle plate every week during use.
Where the chimney is believed to have previously served an open fire installation, it is possible that
the higher flue gas temperature from the stove may loosen deposits that were previously firmly
adhered, with the consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney
be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
See chimney cleaning
section in section Warnings and Important Information.
Inspect the inside of the stove and the flue
ways and ensure they are 100% clear after a period of disuse (e.g summer).
Check all rope seals for completeness, wear and that there are no gaps between the ends etc. Any
gaps must be eliminated and ropes must be re-adhered to their grooves with suitable rope seal
cement where required. Worn or missing rope seals will affect appliance operation, control and
emissions output and can lead to overheating damage.
Check all air intakes and outlets within the stove for cleanliness and remove any ash or debris build
up by suitable means.
Check outside air ventilators and stove air inlets are clean and unobstructed.
Only use manufacturers recommended replacement parts on the appliance.
