MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways

It is recommended that the flue pathways in the

stove are cleaned on a monthly basis (or less

depending on the soot build-up created by the fuel

being used) and the chimney cleaned annually. To

access the chimney pathways, use the following

procedure,

1. Remove the fire fence if present not required

when burning wood.

2. Remove the front bricks.

3. Remove the side bricks while supporting the

bottom baffle.

4. Remove the bottom baffle.

5. Remove the top castings to access the bolts

securing the top baffle.

6. Remove the bolts fixing the top baffle and

then remove the top baffle to access the flue

outlet.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Adjusting the Door Catch

Over time, the fire door latch can loosen due to the

continual compression and hardening of the rope

seal between the door and the front casting. The

position of the latch can be easily adjusted (in

order to tighten the door closure) by removing the

nut holding on the door latch and repositioning the

washers between the latch & the door casting to

allow the latch to be positioned closer to the back

of the door casting - see Fig. 24 & 25.The tightness

of the door seal should be checked after each

adjustment is made. lt is recommended that the

rope seals on the stove are changed at least every

two years or sooner if the seal loses its integrity.

CHIMNEY CLEANING

The chimney should be cleaned twice annually or if

the stove is not used for a prolonged period during

the summer period, it should be cleaned prior to

commencement of usage. The chimney can be

cleaned through the stove depending on the flue

configuration and the flue liner should be cleaned in

accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Always

use a brush with plastic bristles that is the correct

size to reach all areas of the flue.
