Maintenance
o At the end of the winter season, at which point the appliance will be out of use for some time,
thoroughly clean out the ash and residues inside it without using any abrasive products.
o With the aid of a vacuum cleaner, vacuum the secondary air heating chamber above the lower baffle
bricks.
o Over time, you may feel that the appliance needs to be repainted, if that is the case, paint the
equipment using high temperature spray paint. Paint the equipment only when it is completely cold.
Before painting, carefully cover any areas you do not want to soil (glass and fireplace) and follow the
instructions on the paint can. Note the paint will produce a small odour in the first few firings, it is
recommended to have a small fire initially and keep windows open for ventilation.
o Clean the chimney and the flame baffle at least once a year using a qualified technician if necessary.
o Periodically check and replace the door seal.
o Use only ADF recommended replacement parts.

any risk of fire in the chimney, however in such cases:
1. Keep calm and make sure the area is safe.
2. Close the stove door completely.
3. Completely close the combustion air inlet and, if possible to do safely, cover the flue/chimney outlet.
4. The fire should be extinguished by itself due to lack of oxygen.
5. In the absence of safety conditions, move away from danger and request immediate rescue to
Firefighters through the emergency number: 000 for Australia.
