General Maintenance - Parkray Consort 7 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

NO unauthorised modification of this appliance should be carried out.
This appliance requires regular maintenance by a competent engineer.
Brick Baffle
This should be removed and cleaned at least once a month to prevent any build up of soot or fly
ash that could lead to blocked flue ways and dangerous fume emission.
If the baffle brick is removed the chimney/flue way can be swept through the appliance.
Stove Body
The stove is finished with a heat resistant paint and this can be cleaned with a soft brush. Do not
clean whilst the stove is hot; wait until it has cooled down. The finish can be renovated with
high temperature stove paint.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with a suitable glass cleaner. Highly abrasive substances
should be avoided as these can scratch the glass and make subsequent cleaning more difficult.
Wet logs on heated glass, a badly aimed poker or heavy slamming of the doors could crack the
glass panels. The glass will not fracture from heat.
Firebricks
In normal use, these can last for many years. It is possible however, to crack them if logs are
continually jammed against them or if they are frequently struck with a poker.
Check periodically for seriously cracked bricks, which can be replaced with new; available from
your dealer.
Door Catch
Should the door catch require adjustment, to maintain the door seal, it is adjustable. By
slackening the locking nut and turning the door handle one turn clockwise, you will achieve a
tighter lock when the door is closed.
Rope
Check the rope around the door and glass. If rope is becoming detached, use Parkray rope glue
to reattach it. If the rope is in a poor condition, a replacement rope kit may be ordered from the
Parkray spares range.
