14.Seasonal use

14.1Clean and service the appliance if it is not used during the warmer periods of the year as detailed in the Maintenance and Servicing section

14.2Set the air controls 50% open to keep the appliance ventilated and stop the build-up of any moisture inside.

14.3Before re-lighting the appliance:

•Remove the baffles

•Clear any debris that may have accumulated

•Check the flue is clear of any blockages

15.Troubleshooting tips

15.1Appliance is producing tar: This is identified by:

•A very strong pungent smell shortly after the appliance is lit and heats up

•Thick, brown and sticky tar oozes from the pipe joints

This is caused by burning damp wood and burning your appliance at too low a temperature;

•Use well seasoned wood and operate the appliance in the ideal temperature range

Tar is a major cause of chimney fires - if you experience problems with tar build up consult a chimney sweep before continued use of your appliance.

Ideal working temperature range is 130°C and 240°C (270°F – 465°F). Failing to close down the primary air control once the appliance has heated up to this range may cause the appliance to over-fire and to exceed the ideal temperature range. Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the appliance and invalidates your warranty.
