7-Cleaning and Maintenance
To get the best out of your appliance, it should be regularly maintained and the
flue regularly swept.
Cleaning and maintenance should always be carried out when the
appliance is cold.
Cleaning
o The glass should be kept reasonably clean by the airwash.
In cases where a log has been left too close to or touching the glass, or green wood/kindling has
been used then use a glass cleaner available from your retailer.
Ensure the glass cleaner does not come into contact with the metal parts or the rope seal.
o When removing excess ash when/as required when fire is cool, place ash in a non-combustible
container with a tightly fitting lid and move outdoors immediately to a location clear of combustible
materials.
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.
