be opened up as necessary. To avoid
excessive blackening of the glass
the damper should be left slightly
open.
To revive the fire after overnight
burning, riddle the grate, refuel
the firebox with a small amount of
light kindling fuel and open the
damper fully. A strong fire for at
least twenty minutes is required
to burn off excess build-up of
soot deposits after a prolonged
period at low output.
Please bear in mind that operating
the stove at very low outputs is
not the most efficient way to burn
the fuel and the stove and chimney
will require more cleaning when
the stove is operated this way.
Ash clearance
The stove has one ash pan designed
for ease of handling. The ash pan
should be emptied before it gets
over filled to protect the grate
from over-heating. The ash is an
excellent insulator and excess
build-up of ash will cause grate
damage.
Great care should be observed when
emptying the ashes as it can be
very hot and it could start a fire
if it comes into contact with
combustible material like plastic
bins etc.
Stove cleaning and
maintenance
Regular cleaning is essential for
safe and efficient operation of the
stove.
During the heating season, it is
recommended to clean the stove
weekly or fortnightly. Inspect on a
regular basis the condition of the
door seal and if found to be worn
replace it immediately.
Only clean the stove when it is
fully cold. A Pair of gloves should
be used when cleaning the stove and
care should be taken to avoid
injury as a number of the stove
components are quite heavy.
To remove the baffle assembly, see
Fig 3. First removing the firebox
side plates. Lifting the baffle up
slightly and taking out the firebox
side vermiculite pieces with the
use of a flat screwdriver. With the
side sections removed the baffle
and front support clip can be
lowered and removed by lifting it
up slightly at the front and drop
the rear part first. Then twist the
baffle sideways to remove. Access
to the flue outlet is now possible
for cleaning and the chimney can be
cleaned up through the stove. To
clean the air pathways within the
stove, see Fig 4.
