Zeta 10 Series Manual - V1.1 © Oak Stoves 201610Cleaning & MaintenanceOur stoves are finished with high temperature resistant paint which can withstand thetemperatures expected in normal use. You may clean the stove with a damp lint-free cloth,but ensure the stove is completely cold throughout before doing so.To clean the glass on the door, again use a damp lint-free cloth to clean and ensuring thatyou wipe with a dry cloth afterwards. Do not use any chemicals to clean the glass, this willcause permanent damage to the glass. You may get deposits on the glass after the fire hasrun, most of these will burn off if you run the fire again at a fast rate for a few minutes. Do notuse abrasive cloths on the glass or paintwork as these can cause scratching and permanentdamage to the stove.Ash ClearanceWith wood or peat fires you should allow somebuild up of ash at the base of the firebox, howeverit is necessary to remove some ash once thebuild up gets too much. This will only be neededwhen the build up starts to restrict the airflow byblocking the front grill. Burning smokeless fuelswill require the ashpan to be emptied regularly, itis very important to do this as this ash must not beallowed to overflow over the grate.This model has a Remote Riddle Plate Bar locatedunder the left side of the door, pulling this barwill rotate the grills allowing excess ash to dropthrough to the ashpan below the firebox (see Fig.4). Be sure not to completely empty the baseof ash.It is very important that all ash is cool before attempting to remove it from either the base orthe ashpan. We advise emptying the cold ash into a bin liner and sealing it before disposing.Throat, Baffle Plate & Flueway CleaningIt is very important that the throat, baffle plates and the flueway are kept clean and obstructionfree, failure to do so could result in dangerous emissions not escaping correctly. These fumescan pose a serious health risk to occupants therefore it is necessary to clean both the throatand baffle plates and the flueways at least weekly, or more frequently if needed.To clean the throat and baffle plates, first remove the side bricks to enable you to easilyremove the throat plate. To access the flueway, remove the two saddle clips to release theupper fibre board that covers the flueway. Any build up of soot should then be swept off theplate down onto the fire. Refit parts in reverse order when cleaning is finished, for more detailplease refer to page 18.Removing The Primary Air KnobIf you wish to remove the primary knob completely from the stove you just have to keepturning the knob in an anti clockwise direction.
