GENERAL MAINTENANCE (o
nly ever carry out maintenance when the stove is cold).
The following elements of maintenance may be carried out by the householder.
Any structural repairs, e.g. panel, collar or stove pipe replacement must be
carried out by a suitably qualified installer.
Baffle Plate Removal and Replacement
Note the position before removal. To remove baffle plate, firmly push the baffle
plate upwards then bring forwards so that the back edge of the baffle plate
drops down from the rear fire brick that it was resting upon. The plate can now
be withdrawn through the open doorway of the stove.
To replace, place the baffle plate inside the stove in the correct alignment.
Angle the plate so that the front edge is higher than the back edge and lift high
into the stove so that the front edge locates on the steel ledge at the top of the
stove and the back edge of the plate can be re-positioned on top of the rear fire
brick.
Sweeping the Chimney
Your chimney should be cleaned each year before starting to use your stove for
the winter. Birds may have nested in the chimney or the masonry may have
cracked. Both chimney and flue pipe must be swept at least once a year. It is
recommended that you have your chimney swept every six months. It may be
necessary to sweep more frequently when damp wood is burnt regularly.
The chimney can be swept through your stove with the baffle plate removed. It
is advisable to remove the bricks too in order to avoid accidental damage.
Inner Grate Removal and Replacement
Remove the ash pan and detach the riddling arm from the underside of the
circular inner grate. Lift the inner grate vertically and manoeuvre it out of the
stove. When replacing, ensure the riddling arm is re-connected to the inner
grate.
Outer Grate Removal and Replacement
Remove all the bricks and the inner grate. Lift the outer grate up at an angle left
higher than right and manoeuvre the grate out left side first.
