Chimney Sweeping
Sweep annually and inspect soot box at 3 monthly
intervals and remove any deposits.
NOTE: SWEEP BRUSHES MUST BE OF THE TYPE
WITH WIRE CENTRES AND GUIDE WHEELS.
Failing to maintain your cooker properly can lead to a
chimney fire. Chimney fires occur when combustible
deposits on the inner walls of the chimney ignite. These
combustible deposits called ‘creosote’ are a natural by-
product of woodburning. A fire hazard exists if 1/4” of
creosote (or more) coats the inner walls of the chimney.
Prevention
Chimney fires do not occur in clean, intact properly
installed chimneys. Have a professional chimney sweep
clean and inspect your appliance at least once a year.
More frequent cleaning may be required, based on the
type of fuel burned, the type of appliance, and the
frequency of use. In general, an older appliance or one
that is used frequently, will require more than one cleaning
per year.
Detection
The first indication of a chimney fire is usually the noise,
a roaring sound that grows louder as the fire’s intensity
increases. Clouds of black smoke and sparks will be seen
exiting the top of the chimney, in severe fires, flames can
extend several feet about the chimney.
Action
In case of a chimney fire follow these steps but DO NOT
put yourself or others in peril:
1. Call the fire brigade immediately.
2. Get everyone out of the property.
3. Close down the air supply to the appliance i.e. the
primary air spinner and the flue damper. Limiting the
fire’s air supply will reduce its intensity. If there is a
damper in the chimney connector, plug or close the
opening.
4. If a fire extinguisher is available, open the appliance
door just enough to insert the nozzle of a 10 lb dry
chemical fire extinguisher rated for Class ABC fires.
Discharge the entire content of the extinguisher into
the appliance and shut the door.
5. If possible, wet down the roof and other outside
combustibles to prevent fires ignited by shooting
sparks and flames.
6. Closely monitor all combustible surfaces near the
chimney. During severe chimney fires, these surfaces
can become hot enough to ignite
After a chimney fire, have the chimney inspected by a
professional chimney sweep or cooker installer.
REMEMBER: BE CAREFUL OF THE HOT APPLIANCE.
To keep the vitreous enamelled surfaces bright and clean,
wipe over daily with a soapy damp cloth, followed by a
clean dry duster. If milk, fruit juice or anything containing
acid is spilt on the top plate or down the cooker, be sure
to wipe it immediately or the vitreous enamel may be
permanently discoloured. Keep a damp cloth handy while
cooking, to wipe up spills as they occur, so they do not
harden and become more difficult to remove later.
If spills do become baked on a cream cleanser can be
used. For stubborn deposits a soap impregnated pad can
be carefully used on the vitreous enamel.
In the main oven, spills and fat splashes are carbonised
at high temperature, occasionally brush off with a stiff
brush. The oven door can be removed for cleaning - do
not immerse in water, and shelves can be soaked and
cleaned with a cream cleanser.
Both insulating covers should be raised and allowed to
cool before cleaning with a soapy, damp cloth. Use a wire
brush to keep the cast iron hotplate clean. General
cleaning is best carried out when the Rayburn is cool.
IMPORTANT NOTE: AGA recommend Vitreous Enamel
Association approved cleaners for cleaning the vitreous
enamelled surfaces of this product.
But they are unsuitable for use on: chrome and stainless
steel components, including the hand-rails and their
brackets.
The insulating covers should be cleaned regularly with a
NON-ABRASIVE mild detergent, applied with a soft
(coarse free) cloth and lightly polished up afterwards with
a soft (coarse free) duster or tissue to bring it back to its
original lustre.
