OTHER MAINTENANCE
At the end of each heating season or more often if the use of the stove or the fuel make it
necessary, clean the unit the flue outlet and the chimney.
For cleaning purposes the baffle plates can be removed without any tools, This gives
access to the cleaning flap of the smoke flue and it is even possible to reach the flue outlet.
SUMMER SHUT DOWN
Remove all remaining ash and cinders from the unit, close all the stove doors. If
the room is damp, possibly place some absorbent crystals inside the stove and/or
disconnect it completely from the chimney.
FAULTY OPERATION
This is mainly due to the chimney not drawing adequately. Examine the following points:
The chimney section must be adequate (64 sq. in) and the flue must not be obstructed by
debris or soot.
The flue outlet of the flue connecting pipe is pushed too far into the chimney.
The connection between the unit and the chimney is not airtight or the chimney is permeable
(cracks, etc.).
The chimney is too low compared with surrounding obstacles, i.e., trees, high buildings etc.
This may be the cause of too little drawing or down-draughts.
Note :
For maximum output of the appliance a draught of at least 0.06" water gauge must be
achieved. The flue draught must not exceed 0. 08 " water gauge.
Excess draught should be avoided under all circumstances. If it is found that the chimney only over
draws in windy conditions, cowls such as the Aerocowel (trade name) are very good at controlling
these conditions. If the chimney over draws in normal operation a draught stabiliser must be fitted and
correctly calibrated.
FUME EMISSION
Properly installed and operated this appliance will not emit fumes in your room. Fumes may
occur from de ashing and refuelling. Persistent fume emission must not be tolerated. If this occurs do
not use appliance. Inspect installation for blockage or consult your installing engineer.
ENAMELLED MODELS
The cracking which occurs in the enamel and which in the trade we call crazing cannot qualify as a manufacturing
defect. This cracking is the result of a difference in the coefficient of expansion between the cast iron and the enamel; it has no
detrimental effect on the adhesion of the enamel.
