Brass fittings
Any proprietary brass cleaner may be used to clean the
brass on the stove, but care must be taken to ensure
the polish does not come into contact with the stove
enamel or the black cast finish, where it will leave a
stain.
Nickel fings
Any proprietary chrome or aluminium cleaner may be
used to clean the decorave fings on the stove, but care
must be taken to ensure the polish does not come into
contact with the stove enamel or the black cast finish,
where it will leave a stain.
Soot
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapours, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapours
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates
on the flue lining. When ignited, this creosote makes
an extremely hot fire.
The chimney connector and chimney should be
inspected at least once every two months during the
heating season to determine if a creosote build-up has
occurred. The chimney connector must be in good
condition and kept clean. If creosote has accumulated
(1/8" (3 mm) or more) it should be removed to reduce
the risk of a chimney fire. Experienced chimney
servicing personnel should be consulted. Establish a
routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique.
Check daily for creosote build-up until experience
shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be
aware that the hotter the fire, the less creosote is
deposited. Weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild
weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough
in the coldest months.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
Clean the unit, the flue outlet, and the chimney at the
end of each heating season or more often if the use of
the stove, or the fuel make it necessary. For cleaning
purposes the baffle plates can be removed without any
tools. This gives access to the cleaning flap of the
smoke flue and it is even possible to reach the flue
outlet. It also allows the removal of the catalyst box on
the Catalytic Hybrid Woodbox variants for examination
and sweeping of the flue.
Ashes shall be removed, and disposed of in a steel
container with a tightly fitting lid and moved outdoors
immediately. Remove all internal parts to expose any
remaining ash and cinders and remove, close all the
stove doors. If the room is damp, possibly place some
absorbent crystals inside the stove or spray any
internal metal surfaces with water repelling spray.
Using a suitable oil lubricate all moving parts including
door latches and handle shafts.
Enamelled parts and repair
Porcelain enamel, when heated to high temperature, is
subject to crazing. Crazing is a normal occurrence when
enamel is exposed to high temperatures. Your enamel
finish will not be harmed nor will the function of the
stove be impaired.
The enamel surface of the stove may become chipped
if it is hit with a hard object such as a coal shovel or
operating tool. Suitable cold enamel touch up paint
may be purchased.
To prepare the surface remove any loose or flaking
enamel finish and brush or vacuum the area to remove
any dust and dirt.
If the touch up is supplied in a bole shake vigorously for
a minute to mix the contents. If supplied in a tube
squeeze out some of the contents onto a clean sheet
of paper and mix with a match sck as it may have
become separated in the tube.
Apply a thin layer of touch up to the surface allowing it
to dry before applying further layers to build the
surface up to the surrounding enamels height. Leave to
dry before firing the stove.
CATALYTIC HYBRID WOODBOX SYSTEM
It is important to periodically inspect the Catalytic
Hybrid Woodbox system to ensure that it is functioning
properly and determine when it needs to be replaced.
A non-functioning Catalytic Hybrid Woodbox system
will result in a loss of heating efficiency, and an
increase in creosote and emissions. Catalysts should be
visually inspected at least three times during the
heating season to determine if physical degradation
has occurred.
Inspect the catalysts for any fly ash or clogging, and
remove with a soft bristled brush or vacuum crevice
tool.
