General Maintenance of the Stove
Ash Removal
The ash pan should NOT be removed and emptied when the stove is operating. Removal of the ash pan when
the stove is lit will allow unregulated air to enter the stove which can damage the automatic combustion control
system.
Do not allow ash to block the combustion air slots/holes at the rear of the combustion chamber. We recommend
that these slots/holes are vacuumed regularly.
The embers within the ashes may remain alight for up to 24 hours after the stove has gone out, so they must be
disposed of in a non combustible container.
Cleaning the Stove
Cleaning the Glass
Before attempting to clean your stove’s glass the stove must be extinguished and allowed to cool, as for safety
reasons it would be potentially unsafe to attempt cleaning when the stove is operating or still hot.
The glass in your stove is specially formulated to withstand the very high temperatures and proprietary glass
cleaners are not recommended as their compositions may contain chemicals that will weaken or etch into the
glass.
Newspaper moistened with water to which a little vinegar has been added will normally remove most staining,
but for really stubborn marks, gentle polishing with fine steel wool lubricated with a few drops of dish washing
detergent will need to be employed. Great care must be taken not to clean the glass too vigorously as particles
of grit may have adhered with the stain and these could cause scratching if dragged across the glass. However
well the stove burns it will eventually become necessary to clean the glass, but if cleaning becomes necessary
too often we advise you to review your operating procedures to determine whether cleaner and more efficient
combustion can be achieved.
Check the condition of the seals around the glass regularly for signs of leakage, replace only using the manufacturer’s
sealing gaskets.
The Stove Body
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is limited to vacuum
cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also dust the stove using a dry, soft cloth
or brush, but only when the stove is cold.
Maintaining Painted Surfaces
If the stove is scratched, or the paint flakes off over time, it can easily be repaired with fine emery paper and a
special spray paint.
Spray Paint
Order product number HW99-0043BL for black surfaces, and HW99-0043GRY for grey surfaces
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced by a suitably qualified heating engineer. The combustion
chamber should be cleared of ashes and soot. Door and fittings should be lubricated using a copper-based
grease. The rope seals on the doors and glass should be replaced before the start of a new heating season. The
instructions for this can be found in the installation instructions supplied with the stove.
