MAINTENANCE
De-ashing
The appliance should be de-ashed at least once every 24 hours depending on
fuel type and heating load. With the door closed, use the riddling lever on the
left side to filter the ash through the grate and into the ash pan below for
removal. It is important that the level of ash in the ash pan is not allowed to
build up to where it is touching the bottom grate. This will cause the grate to
burn out prematurely.
Baffle plate
Particular attention should be paid to the baffle plate(s), which should be
regularly inspected for any accumulated soot and products of combustion. If
a medium to excessive amount is present, the baffle(s) needs removed and
cleaned.
Glass Cleaning
We recommend that the glass should be allowed to cool, then cleaned using
a damp cloth. Abrasive cleaners should be avoided, as they tend to scrape
the glass making it more and more difficult to keep clean. Use of a stove glass
cleaner (available from your retailer) is recommended for stubborn stains.
Door
Check that the seal around the door is airtight. Replace rope seal if necessary.
