On a cold stove, the starting point of the feeler is controlled. The starting point on a cold stove is
about
above horizontal. It should feel easy going and bouncy when you push it, no matter if
the stove is cold or hot. By rising or falling temperatures it must not move at a bound. The damper
plates must be dry and clean and slide together unhindered. Control bars and slide gates may
have to be smeared with WD (never oil).
Place the bottom of the heat shield between the stove and the guide pins at the back of the
bottom plate on the stove and press it in towards the stove. Secure the heat shield with the
Allen bolts. Place the right side on the guide pins on the bottom plate of the stove and press it
in towards the stove. Lift the side and press it lightly inwards until it engages behind the bolt at
the top. Secure the bolt. Repeat with the left side. Finally secure the bolt that holds the two sides
together. Replace the top plate on top of the stove.
Door/glass
A sooty glass door can easily be cleaned with a piece of moist kitchen roll dipped in ash. Go about
it in vertical movements (up and down). Follow up with a dry piece of kitchen roll.
Seals
Check frequently to ensure that seals in the door and ash pan are intact and not brittle. Failing
this, they should be replaced. Use original seals only.
Surface
Usually, it is not necessary to any treatment to the painted surfaces of the wood-burning stove.
Any damage to the paint may, however, be remedied with spray paint, which can be bought from
your stove retailer.
Guarantee
