b.- Over-firing Caution
Over-firing means the stove has been operating at an elevated temperature for a prolonged
period of time. Over-firing should be avoided since it may cause damage to the stove.
Over-firing is caused by excessive flue, due to one of the following reasons:
- Primary Air Valve is open too far for the type of wood used.
- Oversized chimney.
- Incorrect maintenance of the stove, which may produce air infiltrations.
- Inappropriate fuel which produces high temperatures.
- Incorrectly closed door.
Your stove is an appliance that is subject to extreme temperatures and to the corrosive effect
of combustion residues. Its regular maintenance is essential for a longer duration and
optimum use of the stove. For this purpose, we recommend that the following controls are
regularly performed.
A. – DURING THE SEASON OF USE
a) Visually inspect the chimney. Clean the soot and tar if they have begun to build up
on the internal walls of the stove.
b) Check whether the doors close hermetically; adjust them as required.
B. – AT THE END OF THE SEASON
a) Inspect and clean the chimney.
b) Vacuum the interior of your stove and inspect it.
The soot and the tar (creosote) which accumulates on the walls of the stove reduce its
performance.
c) Inspect the door gaskets. These should be replaced when they do not close
perfectly.
d) For painted stoves, repaint the cast iron parts if necessary. Use heat resistant paint
for this purpose.
C. - CLEANING
Cleaning should always be performed when the stove is cold.
1.-Cleaning of the ashes
These stoves are equipped with an ash pan located below the base of the hearth.
To access it, open the ash pan door.
Remove the ash pan which is found in its interior and empty the ash.
Empty the ash pan into a metal container and remove it from the house immediately.
If necessary, clean the ash pan holder.
2.- Painted Parts
Cleaning of these parts should be performed with a dry cloth to avoid oxidation.
