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 stove paint available from your supplier.
Glass Panels
Clean the glass panels when cool with stove 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 doors could crack the glass panels. The glass will
not fracture from heat.
Should a glass panel require replacement, then remove the four screws and clips
retaining the glass frame, carefully remove the broken glass and replace the
panel with the correct stove glass from your supplier. Ensure you use new glass
fibre seal around its edge, and use the steel frame, clips and screws to retain it
in position.
Seasonal Maintenance
If your stove is be unused for any length of time, e.g. summer months, then it is
recommended that it is cleaned out thoroughly. Air slides should be lightly oiled
with WD40 or similar and left partially open to allow air circulation. Regular
monitoring of the inside components will identify condensation or water ingress.
If these problems occur, then your stove needs to be dried and the cause of the
problem rectified. After a shut-down, and before reuse, the appliance should be
cleaned again and the chimney swept, it is essential to have the chimney swept
at least once annually and it is recommended that it is swept twice a year.
