12.GENERAL CLEANING

12.1Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance will help give many years of safe use.

Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.

Clean regularly, according to level of use.

—Remove the ash completely (see User Instructions, Section 7).

—Check the internal components for damage (grate, baffle and log guard). Do not use the appliance

if any parts are broken or damaged. Replace damaged parts with genuine Stovax replacement parts to keep the appliance in safe, efficient working order.

—Check for obvious build up of soot, ash or debris above the flue baffle(s) (these can be found in the upper part of the firebox). Use a torch if necessary.

—If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue baffle(s) either:

—Arrange for the chimney to be swept (see User Instructions, Section 13).

—Remove the baffle and clear the debris (see Installation Instructions, Section 4).

—Clean matt black appliances using Stovax Colloidal black or Stovax Grate Polish.

—To refresh painted finishes use Stovax Thermolac paint.

—Clean enamel finishes using warm soapy water and a soft clean cloth.

—Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth be fore relighting. Always dry appliance to avoid rust.

—Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

14.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

14.1To maintain safe and efficient use of the appliance the chimney/flue must be inspected and swept at least once a year by a qualified chimney sweep.*

If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent sweeping is recommended.

The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of the heating season.

The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.

14.2The chimney, any connecting flue pipe and the appliance flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.

14.3Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not possible to sweep through the chimney.

14.4If the appliance is believe to have previously served an open fire the chimney must be swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
