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 chim-
ney cleaned annually. When cleaning the flue pathways the boiler cleaning plate
should be removed by lifting up the cleaning plate & pulling it outwards (see Figure 3).
Remove any build-up of soot on the top of the boiler using a suitable cleaning brush
and when finished replace the boiler cleaning plate. The boiler cleaning plate can also
be removed when cleaning the chimney if the flue pipe is fitted to the back outlet.
Adjusting the Door Catch
Over time, the fire door latch can loosen due to the continual compression and hard-
ening 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
Figure 4. The tightness of the door seal should be checked after each adjustment is
made. It 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 pro-
longed period during the summer period, it should be cleaned prior to commence-
ment 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.
Changing the Rope Seals
The rope seal between the door & the front casting will compress & harden over time and whilst small adjustments can
be made to the door catch to ensure the integrity of the rope seal, it will be necessary to replace the rope seals on the
stove periodically depending on stove usage. It is recommended that the rope seals are changed at least every two
years.
Glass Cleaning
The stove glass will self-clean when there is sufficient heat generated by the burning fuel i.e. when the unit is operated at
the maximum air settings. If a build-up of creosote occurs on the glass it may be due to low draft conditions, poor quality
fuel or operating the stove at the minimum air settings for long periods of time. The glass should be cleaned when cool
and cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth using warm soapy water. For stubborn deposits, a grade 0 steel wool can be used
whilst
taking care not to scratch the glass with any coal/ash deposits.
Enamel Cleaning
The enamel finish should only be cleaned when cool and to keep the enamel in the best condition observe the following
tips:
Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth, followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
•
For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated pad can be carefully used on the vitreous enamel.
•
Use only products recommended by the Vitreous Enamel Association, these products carry the Vitramel label.
•
Astonish & CIF branded products are approved by the Vitreous Enamel Association and a detailed list of the
approved cleaners can be found on their website, www.vea.org.uk/enamel-care-list.

NOTE:
Small impact marks on the enamel finish can be repaired using an appropriate enamel touch up (a touch
up bottle is included with the stove packaging) but it should not be used to cover marks greater than
Ø10mm or multiple marks on the same casting/area.
Cleaning a Matt Black/Senotherm Stove
Cleaning should be done when the stove is cold by removing any dust or dirt using a dry cloth. Do not use any water on
the matt black/senotherm finish as this will cause it to rust
