MAINTENANCE and SERVICING

1. GENERAL CLEANING

1.1We would recommend that your Solid fuel cooker be cleaned fully on a regular basis, according to the level of use. Attention should be given to cleaning the flueways and removing ash. Regular cleaning and preventive maintenance will help give many years of safe use.

1.2Flue ways under the oven may be cleaned by removing covers as shown.

Inner Cleaning Cover

Outer Cleaning Cover

After removing the outer cover by pulling free from the sprung retaining clips the inner cover can be removed after unscrewing the two, wingnut fixings. Care should be taken not to damage any seals. If seals are damaged they should be replaced before cooker is re-used.

1.3The external finish may be cleaned using warm soapy water and a soft clean cloth. Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before re-lighting. Do not leave unit without drying, as this may cause rust.

2. CLEANING GLASS

2.1While the correct use will generally keep the glass clean when the appliance is used you may sometimes need to clean the glass.

2.2This can be done as follows. Allow the Solid fuel cooker to cool fully, never attempt to clean hot glass. Any deposits can be removed using a soft cloth and Stovax Glass Cleaner. Then wipe with warm soapy water and a cloth, to neutralise any remaining cleaner, and finish with a soft dry cloth.

2.3Before re-lighting the appliance, dry the glass fully.

2.4Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.

3.CHIMNEY SWEEPING

3.1We would recommend that to maintain the safe and efficient use of the appliance the flue / chimney is inspected and swept at least once a year, by a NACS registered (UK only) chimney sweep, to confirm that the system is clean, structurally sound and free from any obstructions.

4.ANNUAL SERVICE

4.1Once a year it is recommended to inspect and clean the cooker as detailed: -

4.2Carefully remove all of the following internal parts. Complete grate and ashpan, and vacuum clean any remaining ash and debris from the inside of the cooker.

4.3The coloured surfaces of the cooker are finished in vitreous enamel. Care should be taken as this finish can be damaged by cleaning with metal scrapers or wire wool. Burnt-on food may be removed by carefully using a plastic scraper or plastic cleaning pad. Use hot soapy water and a cloth to clean and finish with a soft dry cloth.

4.4The internal surfaces of the oven are finished with vitreous enamel. These may be cleaned using a non- abrasive oven cleaner and any burnt-on food may be removed by carefully using a plastic scraper or plastic cleaning pad. Use hot soapy water and a cloth to clean and finish with a soft dry cloth.

4.5The door glass may be cleaned by using Stovax glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Then wipe with warm soapy water and a cloth, to neutralise any remaining cleaner, and finish with a soft dry cloth.

4.6Clean the Grate parts with a wire brush, check for any damage and replace any damaged parts as required.

4.7Check and clean, with a soft brush the Firebricks. Replace any broken bricks. It is normal for some surface damage to occur during use.

4.8Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
