Maintenance - Chesney's Wood Burning and Multi Fuel Stoves User's Installation Manual

13. Maintenance

Guarantee
Your Chesneys stove comes with a 5 year guarantee on the stove body
and a 12 month warranty on the non consumable parts such as the door,
handle, hinges and air plates.
Consumable items such as fire bricks, baffles, glass, rope seal, ash pans
and grids are consumable items and are not covered by a warranty. These
items will deteriorate over time and will need replacing. The length of time
that these parts last will depend on the type of fuel used, and how hot and
long the stove is left to run. The firebricks, rope seal and primary baffles are
subjected to a huge amount of stress while the stove is under fire and will
appear stressed quite quickly and the bricks can sometimes crack. This
does not mean their integrity is compromised and they will have plenty of
life left in them.
This appliance must be serviced annually and the flue checked for
blockages annually and prior to relighting after a prolonged shut down
period.
To maintain the effectiveness and efficiency of your stove it should be
serviced or inspected annually by a competent person. This should entail
checking these consumable parts.
Door seal: still effective
Glass seal: still effective
Glass not cracked.
Fire Bricks: sound. Replace any that have cracks greater than 3mm
Baffles: not warped or distorted
Grates: not warped and functioning.
