13. Chimney Fire
13.1 If a chimney fire occurs:
— Shut all air controls immediately.
— Evacuate the building.
— Call the fire brigade.
— Do not re-enter the building until it is confirmed safe.
13.2 Do not use the appliance after a chimney fire until:
a) It has been inspected by a registered installer*,
confirming the appliance is safe to use.
b) The chimney system has been inspected and swept by a
chimney sweep, confirming the system is structurally sound
and free from obstruction*.
c) It is repaired as required before re-use. Use only
genuine Dovre replacement parts to keep your appliance in
safe, efficient working order.
14. General Cleaning
14.1 Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in
periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance
will help give many years of safe use.
14.2 Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
14.3 Clean regularly, according to level of use.
Remove the ash completely
(see User Instructions, Section 11).
14.4 Check internal components for damage and for obvious
build up of soot, ash or debris above the flue baffle(s) (these
can be found in the upper part of the firebox). Use a torch if
necessary.
14.5 If there are any signs of a build up of debris above the flue
baffle(s) either:
— Arrange for the chimney to be swept (see User
Instructions, Section 16).
— Remove the baffles and clear the debris
(see Pre-Installation Instructions, Section 4).
14.6 Torefreshpaintednishesatouchupsprayisavailable.
Contact your Dovre retailer quoting the serial number found
on the appliance data badge.
Do not use aerosol sprays near an operating appliance.
Do not use abrasive cleaner or cleaning pads.
14.7 Clean enamel finishes using warm soapy water and a soft
clean cloth.
Wipe dry with a soft clean cloth before re-lighting. Do not
leave unit without drying, as this may cause rust.
14.8 Check that the door shuts properly and creates an effective
seal. Leaking door seals prevent the appliance working
properly.
Care & Maintenance
15. Cleaning Glass
15.1 Keep the glass clean with correct use of the Airwash system
and good quality fuel.
15.2 Sometimes additional cleaning may be required.
Before undertaking this operation allow appliance to cool
fully. Do not clean hot glass.
15.3 On appliances with printed glass do not use cleaning
agents that have a high alkaline or acidic content, for
example Stovax Gel Cleaner, these are aggressive
cleaning agents designed to be used with heavily
stained clear glass. On printed glass surfaces, use
Stovax Glass Cleaner (Stovax No.4103) which is better
formulated for this application.
15.4 Before applying a cleaning agent remove any dust and
loose soot with a damp cloth.
15.5 Use an appropriate glass cleaner. Apply the cleaning fluid to
a cloth before rubbing onto the glass.
Apply carefully and do not apply excessively. Try to prevent
any run off which could soak into the rope seals around the
edge of the glass.
Soot can also contain acidic particles that can cause
corrosive damage to printed glass.
15.6 Remove dirt with a moist cloth and buff dry.
15.7 Some types of wood can cause a white residue to form
on the glass.
If this occurs it should be cleaned off at least once a
week during periods of heavy usage.
If the liquid cleaning agents recommended do not
remove this residue use a dry cleaning pad which will
help remove these white marks.
15.8 Before relighting the appliance ensure the glass is fully dried.
If the rope seal has absorbed excess cleaning agent it
is advisable to replace the rope as soon as possible to
preserve the printed finish of the glass.
