SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
It is important that your fire is regularly serviced in accordance with these instructions. This should be carried out at least annually by a qualified person
and should consist of the following.
Remove the fire lining(s), and throat plate, inspect all gasketing on doors, glass etc. and
Sweep the chimney and confirm that it is sound. Examine all joints in the flue pipe etc. and
SUMMER STORAGE/NON USAGE
Please ensure that your stove is left clean and moving components are well lubricated for the summer months (during periods of prolonged non use). If possible store the throat plate outside of the stove, check all movable components, at regular intervals, to ensure they are moving freely.
Allow air movement through the stove, by opening the airwash and prinmary air inlet(s) controls to about half way open or leave the door ajar. This will allow a free flow of air through the appliance thus preventing moisture and condensation forming inside the stove and chimney. This preventative maintenance will ensure your stove stays in the best condition for the coming winter months.
