Maintenance - Cast Tec POLARIS INSET ECO Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Polaris Inset Eco Manual
• Packaging
Your appliance is packaged to minimise exposure to adverse elements and should reach
you in perfect condition. The product should be stored in a warm, dry environment and
remain packaged until the fireplace is ready to be installed. It is essential that you inspect
your casting prior to installation as it will be deemed to be of merchantable quality thereafter
and no liability will be accepted for product removal, reinstallation or redecoration.
• Cleaning Glass
This product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is sucked in through the air vent
above the fireplace and down along the inside of the glass. However, some soot will always
stick to the glass, but the quantity will depend on the local draught conditions and
adjustment of the air wash vent. Most of the soot layer will normally be burned off when the
air wash vent is opened all the way and a fire is burning briskly in the fireplace.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with warm water and add some
ash from the burn chamber. Rub it over the glass and then clean the glass with clean water.
Dry well and if it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly, we recommend using a
glass cleaner (follow the instructions on the bottle).
• Gaskets
The gaskets in the door will wear out over time and should be replaced as required in order
to prevent runaway combustion.
• Cleaning – Polished cast iron
After unpacking your casting, you will need to remove the protective oil coating, which is
applied to prevent tarnishing and rust, you need to wipe the polished areas with white spirit
on a cloth, repeat this procedure until the surface is clean. Under no circumstances
should a water-based cleaner be used to clean the surface – This will make the bare
cast iron tarnish and then rust.
