Stove body
The stove is finished with a heat-resistant paint which can be cleaned with a soft
brush. Wait until the stove has cooled down before doing this. This finish can be
renovated with stove paint from authorised supplier, although the paint may not be
an exact match and it may be necessary to repaint the complete stove/
If the stove is purely ornamental, painting will provide a durable, attractive finish. If
the stove is used for heating, a high temperature heat resistant paint must be used,
in either aerosol or brush applied form. Should rust become apparent, clean
thoroughly with a wire brush and apply a suitable anti-rust treatment.
During prolonged periods out of use, the air inlets should be left open and the door
left slightly ajar in order to circulate fresh air and discourage condensation from
forming which could encourage corrosion.
