Chimney and Flue waysIt is important that the chimney, flue ways and any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly. Thismeans at least once a year for smokeless fuels and at least twice a year for wood and other fuels. Thebaffle will need to be removed from its supports in order to sweep the chimney (see assemblyinstructions).Only wire-centred sweeps’ brushes fitted with a guide wheel should be used.If it is not possible to sweep all parts of the chimney through the appliance, ensure there is adequateaccess to cleaning doors.If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire, then the chimney should be swept one month afterinstallation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion betweenthe stove and the open fire.Seasonal Use - if the appliance has been unused for a long period of time, such as during the spring andsummer months, a competent person should check the chimney for potential obstructions before lightingthe stove.GasketsAll gasket used on this appliance are produced from a heat resistant material called Manniglas. Theglass gasket will have to be replaced when a new piece of glass is fitted as the gaskets become brittleafter firing the stove. Over time you may also find that the gasket changes colour. This is due to areduction in the pigment used in the manufacture of the product and no cause for concern.TroubleshootingFire will not burnCheck that:1. The air inlet is not obstructed in any way.2. Chimneys and flue ways are clear.3. A suitable fuel is being used.4. There is an adequate air supply into the room.5. An extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.6.
