Cleaning Stove Flue Pathways
To access the flue pathways, the top baffle should be removed from the stove through the fire door opening and
cleaned thoroughly. To remove the top baffle, remove the firebars, and side bricks by lifting them up to allow the bot-
tom of the brick to pass over the retaining rib on the grate. With the side bricks removed, the back brick can then be
removed (it may be necessary to lift the top baffle to allow room to remove the bricks). Remove the two top baffle pro-
tection plates by turning them thru 90 degrees so that they are lying flat on the top of the baffle and rotating them
towards the front of the stove to allow for them to be removed from above the baffle & the stove. Pull the baffle for-
ward slightly so that it clears the positioning rib on the back casting. Lift up the baffle on the LHS side whilst sliding it
the left until the RHS of the baffle can pass below the fixing rib on the RHS panel thus allowing the baffle drop into
the firebox and be removed from the stove. If the baffle is distorted & can't be removed as described above, the top
casting can be removed to allow for access to the baffle.
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 de-
pending on the flue configuration and the flue liner should be cleaned in accordance with manufacturer's instruc-
tions. 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 it will be necessary to re-
place 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 and a solid fuel service kit is available from your local retailer which will provide the
parts to do same.
Glass Cleaning
The stove glass will self-clean when there is sufficient heat generated by the burning fuel i.e. when the unit is operat-
ed 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
Enamel Cleaning
The enamel finish should only be cleaned when cool and to keep the enamel in the best condition observe the follow-
ing 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 la-
•
bel. 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.
