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.

GLASS CLEANING

The stove glass will self-clean when there is suffi-
cient 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 oper-
ating 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 tak¡ng care not to
scratch the glass with any coal/ash deposits.

VITREOUS ENAMEL CLEANING

General cleaning must be carried out when the
stove is cool.
If this stove is finished in a high gloss vitreous
enamel, to keep the enamel in the best condition
observe the following tips:
1. Wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth,
followed by a polish with a clean dry duster.
2. For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated
pad can be carefully used on the vitreous
enamel.
3. Use only products recommended by the
Vitreous Enamel Association, these products
carry the Vitramel label.
A detailed list of the approved cleaners can be found
on their website www.vea.org.uk/enamel-care/
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE PADS OR OVEN-
CLEANSERS CONTAINING CITRIC ACID ON
ENAMELLED SURFACES.
CLEANSER MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS
ARE ADHERED TO.
NOTE: Small impact marks on the enamel finish can
be repaired using an appropriate enamel
touch up (a touch up bottle
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.

FROZEN SYSTEM

If there is any possibility that the water system may be
frozen do not attempt to light the stove until you are
certain there is no ice in the system possibly causing
a blockage.
