Some deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire at a fast rate for a few minutes. Do not use Tool Pull Forward and Swing Down Tool Throat Plate Throat Plate Pull Forward and Swing Down Country 8 Country 12 Fig. 3. Throat Plate Location abrasive cleaners or pads as these can scratch the surface which will weaken the glass and cause premature failure. Aerosol spray cleaners should not be used near the appliance whilst it is under fire. When not in use If the fire is going to be out of use for a long period, (for instance in the summer,) then to prevent condensation, and hence corrosion, the thermostat should be left at the maximum setting and the main doors left ajar. It is also advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying the inside of the doors and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will also help to keep all internal parts working well. After long periods where the fire has been out of use, the chimney and appliance flueways should be cleaned before lighting. Door Seals For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or frayed and replace them when necessary. Servicing It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly, check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing any parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the doors seals are in good condition and that the doors seal correctly. A servicing guide is available on request. THROAT PLATE AND FLUEWAY CLEANING It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept clean. When burning smokeless fuels they should be cleaned monthly. When burning other fuels they should be cleaned at least once a week, and more frequently if necessary. It is not necessary to let the fire out completely to carry out these operations. The throat plate is lowered using the tool. The front of the throat plate is pulled forward and then lowered as shown in figure 3. Any sooty deposits should then be swept from the plate and into the fire. Return the throat plate to its correct position -raise the front of the plate, push it back and then lower it onto the retaining lugs. CHIMNEY SWEEPING The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. Where a top outlet is used it will generally be possible to Page 5 TW16 3/99 sweep the chimney through the appliance. First remove the side fire plates, front firebars and the throat plate. Then sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all horizontal surfaces after sweeping. In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush. After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate (see fig. 3), the front firebars, and side fireplates. Different types of sweep's brushes are available to suit different flueways. For standard brick chimneys a wire centre sweep's brush fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to sweeping should be consulted. TROUBLE SHOOTING Fire Will Not Burn. Check that: a) the air inlet is not obstructed in any way, b) chimneys and flueways are clear, c) that a suitable fuel is being used, d) that there is an adequate air supply into the room, e) that an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove. f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney, (once the chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 0.10 inches water gauge should be obtained). Door Glass Blacks Up Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of experimentation due to the differences in the draw of different chimneys. The following points should be noted and with a little care should enable the glass to be kept clean in most situations: a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean, therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well established before closing the airslides. This may also be necessary when re-fuelling the stove. b) When re-fuelling keep the fuel as far back from the front firebars as possible, do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox. c) Never completely close the airwash control -as a guide it should be at least a quarter open. d) The airslides in the doors may be kept slightly open to assist in keeping the glass clean. e) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the glass to blacken. It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the stove very slowly for long periods. If blackening of the glass still occurs check that the top of the stove is bolted on securely, and that the seal between the top and the body is intact. Also check that all flue conn...
