suitable air slots that assist the burning of most fuels. When burning coal type fuels it is
important to de-ash regularly to ensure that the primary airflow is not impeded. An excessive
build-up of ash when burning coal can damage the cast iron grate. A build up of wood ash when
burning wood will not harm the grate and indeed wood burns better on a bed of ash but
excessive wood ash build up is not recommended.
7.4.5 Ashpan
It is essential that you empty the ash pan regularly when burning coal type fuels. Use the flat
end of tool to lift the ash pan out of the stove. DO NOT allow coal ash to build up underneath
the bed as this may cause damage to the grate.
7.5 Cleaning
Glass: Despite the advanced air wash system provided, the glass will still need cleaning from
time to time depending on the fuel quality and burning rates used. Never clean glass when the
stove is hot. Always use stove glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner, which is available from your
stove retailer or supermarket. As an alternative, use a wet cloth with some of the wood ash if
burning wood but be very careful to use very clean ash so as not to scratch the glass. DO NOT
use coal ash to clean the glass.
Outer body: The outer body simply needs to be dusted or wiped with a clean damp cloth from
time to time. DO NOT use any kind of furniture polish or cleaning agent other than your stove
suppliers recommended paint.
Inner firebox: Brush the inside of the firebox clean from time to time to check the integrity of
the plates and liners etc. See Maintenance Guide section for instructions on how to remove
parts of the stove. It is not normally necessary to re-paint inside the firebox due to the high
temperatures that mean that the paint does not have much effect before being burnt off. Steel
and high quality cast ceramic liners are very resilient firebox materials and will give reliable
service without major cleaning or work on the firebox. The ceramic liner boards are very
durable but may require replacement occasionally depending upon fuels and the type of usage
experienced. Firebox linings are not covered by warranty, as they are a wearing consumable
part.
Baffle: It is essential to check the top of the baffle for build up of soot and ash regularly when in
use and after a long period of disuse – e.g. summer. From time to time remove the baffle if
necessary to ensure that the flue way entrance is clear. Lift the front edge of the baffle upwards
and forwards to slide the rear edge off its support. Lower the rear edge slightly and then slide
the baffle off its front supports to leave it free for removal. See maintenance section for further
details.
Air Supply: It is essential to check the air supply grille on the outside of the property if the direct
outside air connection is installed. Regularly brush or vacuum out any debris, cobwebs or similar
materials to ensure that the air supply is not restricted. Ensure the air intake chamber visible
underneath the ash pit section with the stove door open is kept free of excessive ash or debris.
