First, remove all the ceramic bricks and the baffle. This will enable to drop and collect all the chimney dirt into
the firebox without removing the main flue pipe. Once the chimney sweep operation is complete, clean the
firebox chamber properly and put back both the front & rear baffle, both the air tubes and the bricks.
8.0 Hurunui Replacement Parts
Some parts of the Hurunui burner are considered consumable. These parts will wear out or degrade over time.
The life of these parts will vary upon
-
How frequently fire is used
-
Type of fuel. Some species of wood fuel are harsher than others.
Following items are considered as operational consumables:
-
Bricks - Set of ceramic bricks for the main combustion chamber or firebox.
-
Stainless Steel Baffle
-
Front Air Deflector.
-
Seals - Main Door Seal and Door Glass Seal
-
Door Glass - Main Door Glass
-
Door locking mechanism and start-up latch
These consumable parts should be replaced as soon as they show signs of wear. Running your burner with
worn or broken parts may result in reduced output, an increase in fuel consumption, and even damage the
burner's firebox or other vital parts. We highly recommend a frequent visual check of these consumables and
other parts of the burner.
9.0 Common Issues and Problem Solving
1.
Blackening of the door glass
- Blacking of the glass can be caused due to wood that is not seasoned,
wet, or running the heater on low for long periods. Very resinous wood may also cause this issue. Poor
seals on the door may also be a factor. Ensure only dry seasoned wood is used.
To remove the dirty film, try the following:
a. Burn the fire hot with the full load and air slide on a high setting for 30 minutes.
b. Try to clean glass with damp newspaper and ash when the fire has completely cooled down
c. Try using non-caustic oven cleaner
Caution:
Do not scrub using steel products or abrasive material, as it can leave scratch marks on the
glass or damage printing on the glass.
As per the new air plan, it is an offense in the Environment Canterbury region to burn wood with
greater than 25% moisture.
2.
Paint discoloration, paint damage
- The paint on your heater will dull off over time, and this is a normal
process. Painted surfaces will get scratched, and paint lifting will occur due to vigorous cleaning or the
use of cleaning products.
A soft rag is sufficient to clean and maintain the finish of the panels, cooktop, and the pedestal foot of
the Hurunui fire. The household detergent may damage painted panels or give bad odors while running
the fire
.
Under no circumstances should a wet cloth or similar be used in the cleaning process of
any external or internal panel or parts of the fire, as it will result in corrosion of the painted
finish.
General dulling of the paint can be resolved with light sanding and a re-spraying using the Stove Bright
P22 metallic spray can.
3. Smoke into the room - Smoke entering the room when the door has been opened can result from
negative pressure in the home. This can occur due to heat transfer kits, extractor fans, well-sealed
homes not allowing the heater to draw combustion air, environmental pressures due to terrain large trees
nearby, and/or pressures caused by roof pitch and staggered roof levels.
