CLEANING THE STOVE AND FLUE
The riddling knob to shake the ashes through is on the front of the stove, left hand side near
the bottom corner of the door. Using the tool, or a stove glove, pull the lever in and out to
rotate the grate and shake the ashes into the ash pan. It is important to remove the ashes
regularly, if the ash builds up through the grate, the grate could overheat and distort.
Open the fire door with the stove glove provided, and, using the tool, gently pull out the
ashpan a little way. Then remove the tool and slot it in from the top of the slot in the middle
of the ashpan. The tool will then have a firm grip on the ashpan . Carefully carry the ashes
out to dispose of them, or use a ‘Tippy’ or similar ash carrier.
When the stove is being used regularly, it will be necessary to remove the baffle once a year
to clean any debris that may have collected there. The chimney/flue should be swept and
checked every year. The glass on the stove door can be cleaned (better when the glass is
cool), using a damp cloth, or sponge pan scrubber for any stubborn marks. Stove glass
cleaner may be used if required.
The body of the stove can be brushed with a soft brush, do not use water on the paint work.
If, in time, the body of the stove needs touching up, a touch-up aerosol of paint, the same as
originally used in the factory, can be obtained from you supplier.
Warning – do not use an aerosol spray near the stove when the stove is alight.
