5. Maintenance
Sealing band and vermiculite panels are wearing parts which need to be renewed. How often this is needed depends
on how much you use your stove. In some cases every year, others every second or third year. A principal rule is that
the sealing band needs renewal when it is flattened, and the door no longer fits tightly against the front of the stove. A
new set of sealing band with glue can be purchased from your local dealer.
Vermiculite panels must be renewed when they are worn thin, or when possible cracks are so wide that you can actually
see steel through them. If the panels are not renewed on such occations, they lose their power of insulation and
heat reflection.
Movable and mechanical parts should be greased once a year with a heat-resisting lubricant (closing mechanisms,
hinges etc).
Replacement of the seal on the door
1.
Remove the seal from the door (the door can remain on the wood-burning stove).
2.
Press the new seal into the track.
3.
Open and close the door a couple of times until the gasket fits properly.
Replacement of the seal on the glass
1.
Dismantle the glass brackets using the umbraco key.
2.
Lift out the glass.
4.
Remove the seal.
5.
Fit a new seal in place of the old one.
Cleaning at the inside
There should be access for cleaning the chimney at any time.
Replacement of vermiculite plates
Follow the instructions for the cleaning of the wood-burning stove, as it will be necessary to remove the baffle plates.
1.
The top baffle plate is placed in the designated brackets.
2.
Install the side plate/back plate. The holes in the vermiculite plates must match up with the holes in the fire chamber.
3.
Install the bottom baffle plate.
