9 Operating Instructions
The rst re may produce odors from the paint. If possible light and maintain a small re for a
couple of hours, this will allow the paint to cure better.
Always use paper, relighters or nely split dry soft wood kindling to start a re. Never use
ammable liquid or aerosols and do not burn treated or painted wood, plywood, MDF or
particleboard, as well as household rubbish, garden waste, plastics, waste oils, paint or
construction or demolition waste must never be burnt. Some kind of preservative-treated
wood can be hazardous. It is recommended to use dry wood or charcoal only.
Always be careful not to overload the re, as this can result in over ring and logs falling out
the front and cause a re hazard.
If you need to extinguish a re quickly, smother it with loose soil or sand. Avoid using water,
except in emergencies, as this may lead to the development of rust, if not dried completely.
Never leave a lit re unattended.
Do not place the baking plate directly over ames, wait until the re has burnt down to embers
or use charcoal.
10 Maintenance
The ash pan should be removed and cleaned out before it is full to the brim. To get access to
the ash pan rst remove the fascia (see correct operation). Ensure the pan and ashes are cool
before handling.
It is very important that the ue is swept and cleaned for soot to reduce the risk of a chimney
re and to ensure the performance of the replace. This should be done at least once a year,
as soot can build up quickly. Cold climate and burning of green or wet timber, increasing soot
buildup.
To keep the re clean, sweep the rebox with a soft cloth when the rebox is cool. Never try to
clean the rebox or fascia when they are hot. Cleaning the rebox in the end of the season and
spraying with high temperature Stove bright paint will extend the life of your rebox. Ensure
all surfaces are perfectly cleaned before applying paint. Also to extend the life of the rebox
keep it clean at all times.
11 Cleaning the Fascia
The fascia must be cold before starting any form of cleaning.
For cleaning a stainless steel fascia, the following products are recommended; 3M Stainless
steel cleaner, or methylated spirits with a clean cloth
For cleaning the powder coated Fascia, use soapy water and a sponge or a clean cloth.
The fascia may discolour after use, a gentle wipe with soapy water and a soft cloth should
remedy this and is recommended after every use.
