Shut Down
6.19 If there is still burning fuel in the firebox, Stovax do not
recommend shutting down the air controls completely
unless there is a chimney fire in progress (see Section 10
for advice). Closing the control during the burning process
will cause poor combustion and could lead to a build up of
gasses that could ignite dangerously.
6.20 Always have enough air entering the stove to maintain some
flame within the firebox.
6.21 If it is necessary to shut down the appliance then run on a
high setting until all of the fuel has been burnt before closing
the air controls.
7. Extended Burning
7.1 It is possible to get the appliance to burn for extended
periods of time. In order to do this:
—De-ashpriortonalrefuelling.
— Burn new fuel at a high temperature for a few minutes
before adjusting the Control.
— Set air controls to low combustion settings.
This will gradually blacken the glass but it will clear when
operated at a high temperature for a short period.
8. Ash Removal
Do not allow ash to build up as it may cause damage
and adversely effect the performance of the appliance.
Warning: Ash can remain hot long after appliance has
been in use.
8.1 Wood
— Open Doors.
— Leave a layer of ash to start the new fire on. Wood burns
best on a bed of ash (approx. 25mm (1") deep).
— Remove ash with a small shovel and place into an Ash
Caddy (Part No. 4227) or other suitable container.
Do not place hot ash in any container made from plastic
or any other combustible material.
— De-ash at least once a week.
9. Over-Firing
9.1 Do not over-fill with fuel or run at high temperatures for long
periods or over-firing can occur.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE WITH
THE AIR CONTROL FULLY OPEN FOR LONG PERIODS
OF TIME AS THIS COULD CAUSE OVER-FIRING AND
MAY CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE.
9.2 Over-firing can cause permanent damage to the
appliance and invalidate the product warranty.
10. Chimney Fire
10.1 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.
10.2 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 Stovax replacement parts to keep your appliance in
safe, efficient working order.
11. General Cleaning
11.1 Clean and inspect the appliance regularly, especially in
periods of heavy use. Regular cleaning and maintenance
will help give many years of safe use.
11.2 Allow appliance to cool thoroughly to avoid risk of burns.
11.3 Clean regularly, according to level of use.
Remove the ash completely
(see User Instructions, Section 8).
11.4 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.
11.5 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 13).
— Remove the baffles and clear the debris
(see Pre-Installation Instructions, Section 3).
11.6 Torefreshpaintednishesatouchupsprayisavailable.
Contact your Stovax 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.
11.7 Check that the door shuts properly and creates an effective
seal. Leaking door seals prevent the appliance working
properly.
