8 Care for your stove
The need for regular maintenance on your stove will ensure, safe and efficient use of your
appliance. The following item listing should be checked and inspected by a competent
person or engineer on a regular basis.
PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE STOVE IS UNLIT AND COLD, BEFORE
ATTEMPTING TO INSPECT THE BELOW ITEMS -
8.1 Adjusting the door hinges
Once the appliance has been under fire for a period of time the fire door may appear to
have moved out of alignment with relation to the door aperture or catch. This is quite
normal and due to the settling of the casting.
If the fire door needs to be raised, please follow the instructions below:
Open the fire door so that it is at right angles to the front of the stove.
Apply a lifting pressure to remove the door from the hinge assemblies, it may be necessary
to move the door assembly from left to right whilst applying an upward force, to release the
door from the hinges.
Drop one washer (M6) over the top hinge pin. Align the door assembly onto the hinge and
apply a downward pressure to re-fit the door onto the hinge assemblies. Check & repeat
again if necessary.
8.2 Liners / firebricks
The stoves liners (also known as firebricks) may become cracked after long periods of
heavy use or after being knocked by the loading of fuel or a poorly aimed fire poker. If the
liners are still staying in situ and are able to support themselves correctly there is no need
to replace them. Cracked liners will not in themselves effect the performance of the stove.
8.3 Throat plate
The throat plate can be removed from the stove, by removing both the side liners, this will
then allow the rear of the throat plate to swing down. Disengage the front lip of the throat
plate from the upper location bracket. Rotate the throat plate, diagonally across the firebox,
manipulating the plate through the door opening.
Any accumulated deposits should be cleaned off, this is best done with a brush.
Whilst doing so, inspect the throat plate for any damage.
Replacement throat plates can be sourced from your local dealer or via the internet at
