OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

The stove is finished with a high temperature paint which will

withstand the temperatures encountered in normal use. This may

be cleaned with a damp lint-free cloth when the stove is cold. Should

re-painting become necessary, high temperature paints are available

from your supplier or from stove shops.

Cleaning the Glass

Most deposits on the glass may be burnt off simply by running the fire

at a fast rate for a few minutes. If it becomes necessary to clean the

glass then open the door and allow it to cool. Clean the glass using

a damp cloth and then wiping over with a dry cloth. Any stubborn

deposits on the glass may be removed with a proprietary stove glass

cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or pads

as these can scratch the surface which will weaken the glass and cause

premature failure

When Not in Use

If the fire is going to be out of use for a long period (for instance in

the summer) then to prevent condensation, and hence corrosion, the

air control should be left fully open and the fire door left ajar. It Is also

advisable to sweep the chimney and clean out the fire. Spraying the

inside of the door and firebox with a light oil, such as WD40, will also

help to keep all internal parts working well. After long periods where

the fire has been out of use, the chimney and appliance flueways

should be cleaned before lighting.

Door Seals

For the fire to operate correctly it is important that the door seals

are in good condition. Check that they do not become worn or

frayed and replace them when necessary.

Servicing

It is recommended that the fire is serviced once a year to keep it in

first class working order. After cleaning out the firebox thoroughly,

check that all internal parts are in good working order, replacing

any parts that are beginning to show signs of wear. Check that the

door seals are in good condition and that the door seals correctly. A

servicing guide is available on request. Repairs or modifications may

only be carried out by the Manufacturer or their approved agents.

Use only genuine Charnwood replacement parts.

THROAT PLATE AND FLUEWAY CLEANING

It is important that the throat plate and all the stove flueways are kept

clean in order to prevent potentially dangerous fume emission. They

should be cleaned at least monthly, and more frequently if necessary.

It is necessary to let the fire out to carry out these operations.

To remove the throat plate, first remove the fuel retainer (item ‘e’

page 4) and one side plate to allow enough room so that the throat

plate clears the sides of the fire box when removed.

The Skye 7 throat plate is made up of two bricks and a bracket that

slides over the front that holds the two bricks together. The Skye 5

throat plate is one brick.

To remove the throat plate, if made up of two pieces, first carefully

remove the joining bracket at the front of the throat plate and then

lift the two pieces down from the top of the stove. If the throat plate

is a single piece, slide the throat plate forwards so that it clears the

back brick, then slide it either right or left so that the opposite side

clears the top of the remaining side brick and can be gently lowered.

Any sooty deposits should then be swept from the throat plate and

into the fire.

On Skye 7 models only, lift out the upper throat plate and clean any

deposits, then re-fit it as shown in figure 6. If the rear flue connection

is used, then the upper throat plate is not required.

To re-fit the lower throat plate, if the throat plate is made up of

two pieces, fit each half so that it rests on the side and back brick,

then, making sure the two halves are fitted closely together, slide the

joining clip back onto the front edge, making sure that it is central

on the join. If it is a single piece, return the throat plate to its correct

position by offering up the throat plate at an angle. Insert the throat

plate so that it sits on top of either the right or left side brick. Raise

the opposite side and slide so that the throat plate is central and

supported by the side bricks. Slide back so that the throat plate rests

neatly on the top of the back bricks. Refit the remaining side plate.
