Flueway Cleaning
WARNING: HOT SURFACES,
use the tool supplied to
operate this appliance. It is recommended to use the
heatproof glove supplied when raising the dome lids to
use the hotplate.
Following a prolonged shutdown of the appliance,
perhaps after the summer break, ensure the flueway is
free from obstruction prior to re-lighting.
Prolonged soot formation may result in flueways
becoming blocked and could give rise to the release of
carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas into the room. Failure
to ensure clean flueways, flue pipes and bends may lead
to emission of dangerous gases and an inferior
performance from your appliance.
Stove Flueway - Allow the fire to burn out, open the flue
chamber damper to its maximum and remove the flue
chamber door by lifting up on an angle. Brush the soot or
fly ash from the flue pipe allowing it to fall onto the top of
the oven. (See Fig. 18).
Remove the hotplate plug and rake the deposits forward,
pushing them into the firebox. (See Figs. 19 & 20).
NOTE: The stove is designed and intended to be
under continuous firing but if it is not in use ashpit
and flue chamber door should be left open to ensure
free passage of air through the stove and avoid
condensation problems.
Cleaning
Surface blemishes caused by spillage on the enamel are
easier to remove when the stove is cool, and a damp cloth
is usually all that is necessary.
This should not be done whilst the stove is hot.
Do not use abrasive pads, oven cleaner or cleaners
containing citric acid on porcelain surfaces.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Porcelain enamel is glass. Clean
porcelain surfaces with glass cleaner or polish and a soft
cloth. These cleaners are unsuitable for use on chrome
and stainless steel including the hand-rails and their
brackets.
The insulating covers should be cleaned regularly with a
NON-ABRASIVE mild detergent, applied with a soft
(coarse free) cloth and lightly polished up afterwards with
a soft (coarse free) duster or tissue to bring it back to its
original lustre
To Replace Bottomgrate Bars
Allow fire to burn out then open the ashpit door and lift off
the cleaning door. Remove dead fuel with hooked poker
into ashpan. Remove three restriction plates and then lift
up each individual bar, pulling forward to remove.
NOTE: There are two types of bars assembled and the
replacement bars should be checked against
‘Replaced’ bars before replacement.
Firebrick Replacement
Damaged firebricks should be replaced as soon as
possible but it may be temporarily repaired with the stove
cement. The firebricks fitted to the Heartland Artisan are of
first quality manufacture, and providing the stove has
been installed and used correctly will have a reasonable
life. They are, however, expendable items and in time will
require renewal.
Replacement bricks either in sets or singular can be
obtained from your Heartland distributor. Always quote the
serial number.
The serial number, which will be found fixed to the
appliance, should be quoted if any question arises in
connection with the Heartland Artisan stove.
