Cleaning/Maintenance
Ash Removal
Whenever ashes get above 75mm deep in your firebox, and when the fire has burned down
and cooled, remove excess ashes. Leave an ash bed approximately 30mm deep on the firebox
bottom to help maintain a hot charcoal bed.
Disposal of Ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal.
If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be
retained in the closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled. Other waste should
not be placed in this container!
Baffle Assembly Removal
Remove retaining pin at the back top of the firebox, just under the baffle. Lift baffle up slightly
and lift one of the Side Brick Rails up off its retaining pins and remove the Rail. Lift the baffle
up and pull forward to disconnect it from the supply tube. Tilt baffle sideways to drop down
and remove from firebox.
Re-install baffle assembly and insulation by reversing the order.
Chimney Liner
It is recommended to inspect the liner and connector monthly and to have the liner cleaned
annually or more frequently if required.
WARNING
: DO NOT use a vacuum to clean above the baffle while installed. you may
accidentally damage or remove the Ceramic Baffle Insulation.
Sweep/Clean chimney with baffle installed or be sure to plug the top of the baffle
tube in the back of the firebox before sweeping or cleaning. Failure to prevent ash
or soot from falling into the baffle tube will cause incorrect operation and will lead to
premature burn out of the tube or baffle.
The baffle should be removed from the fireplace
to fully inspect the chimney liner.
Blower Maintenance
The blower requires occasional cleaning to prevent buildup of dust and hair. More frequent
cleaning may be required if conditions are dusty or pets are present. This service is best
performed by a qualified service technician.
The blowers use sealed bearings and do not require service lubrication.
WARNING: DO NOT OPERATE
WITH BAFFLE ASSEMBLY OR
INSULATION REMOVED.
WARNING: Cover the opening in
the top of the rear upflow tube
when cleaning the chimney liner.
If debris gets into the tube it can
cause the tube to prematurely
burn out.
