CHIMNEY SWEEPING

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The chimney should be swept twice per year. Where a top outlet is

used it will generally be possible to sweep the chimney through the

appliance.

If the stove has been fitted to replace an open fire, the chimney

should be swept after one month of using the stove to clear any soot

falls which may have occurred, due to the difference in combustion

between the stove and the open fire.

First remove the side fire plates, and the throat plate.

Then sweep the chimney ensuring that soot is removed from all

horizontal surfaces after sweeping.

In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the appliance

the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.

After sweeping the chimney the appliance flue outlet and the flue

pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue

brush.

After clearing any soot from within the stove, replace the throat plate

(see 4), the front firebar.

Different types of sweep’s brushes are available to suit different

flueways. For standard brick chimneys, a wire centre sweep’s brush

fitted with a guide wheel is recommended. For prefabricated

insulated chimneys the manufacturers instructions with regard to

sweeping should be consulted.

Check that:

a) the air inlet at the rear of the stove is not obstructed in any way,

front firebar,

Fig. side fireplates, and

Fire Will Not Burn

b) chimneys and flueways are clear,

c) a suitable fuel is being used,

d) there is an adequate air supply into the room,

e) an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the stove.

f) there is sufficient draw in the chimney (once the chimney is warm a

draught reading of at least 0.10 inches (2.5mm) water gauge (25 Pa)

should be obtained).

Keeping the glass clean requires a certain amount of experimentation

due to the differences in the draw of different chimneys. The

following points should be noted and with a little care should enable

the glass to be kept clean in most situations:

a) The airwash relies on a supply of heated air to keep the glass clean,

therefore, when lighting the stove allow the firebed to become well

established before closing the air control. This also applies when re-

fuelling the stove.

b) When re-fuelling, keep the fuel as far back from the front firebar

as possible. Do not try to fit too much fuel into the firebox.

c) Wet wood or logs overhanging the front firebars will cause the

glass to blacken.

d) There is a bypass slide that can be adjusted to suit the particular

installation. This allows a small amount of airwash air to enter the

stove even when the air control is closed. This can be adjusted to help

with keeping the glass clean when the fire is slumbering.

It is always more difficult to keep the glass clean when running the

stove very slowly for long periods.

Check that all flue connections and the blanking plate are well sealed.

It is also important that the chimney draw is sufficient (when the

chimney is warm a draught reading of at least 0.10 inches water

gauge (25 Pa) should be obtained), and that it is not affected by

down-draught.

Occasionally some blackening of the glass may occur below the level

of the front firebars. This will not obscure the view of the fire or

affect its performance.

Fume Emission

Warning Note: Properly installed and operated this appliance will

not emit fumes. Occasional fume from de-ashing and re-fuelling

may occur. Persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and

must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the

following immediate actions should be taken:

Lift throat plate at back,

then pull forward and

swing down.
