prevent excessive smoke.

Annual service

The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar
residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect
behind it and this must be cleaned out. Check the quality of all insulated panels and replace any which are show
significant wear, hairline cracks on insulated panels is no cause for alarm, replace if cracked brick begins to
disintegrate, replace stove door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly positioned.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.
Cleaning the glass
Incorrect firing, for example using wet wood, or slow burning can result in the viewing window becoming covered
in soot. This soot can be easily and effectively removed by using a damp cloth or when necessary a proprietary
stove glass cleaner or an ordinary scouring liquid, when the glass is cold
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean to remove
ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce condensation and
subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open
