Annual service
The inside of the stove should be serviced /cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar
residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle, dirt and soot will collect
behind it and this must be cleaned out. Insulated panels may crack if hit too hard by a piece of firewood. This has
no effect on the function of the stove (this is not the case with the smoke plate). The Insulated panels will only
need to be replaced once they become very worn and are no longer whole, or if they crack in several places,
replace stove door rope cord in the door. Check glass is correctly positioned, replace stove door rope cord in the
door. Check glass is correctly positioned.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The paint/ lacquer can wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint/lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.
