INTRODUCTION

The Harmony 5 and Stanford 50 have had two versions. Mark 1, Part No: 39991. From May 1998 to October 2001. Mark 2, Part No: 30091. From July 2001 to December 2003.

If you cannot ﬁnd the part number on the Euroheat label on the stove or on the operating or installation instructions then the way too distinguish between the two is not difﬁcult. If you open the lower door and look at the ash pan door on the Mark 1, the door is part of the ash pan itself and has a sliding air inlet in it. On the Mark 2 version there is an ash pan door with a latch behind which the ash pan is located.

Servicing your stove should not be seen as a chore but rather the means to getting the most efﬁcient use and increasing the life of the stove. A badly maintained stove will run inefﬁciently, so you will burn more fuel, and if left unmaintained for a period could seriously damage the component parts within the stove which will then need replacing.

This booklet details the aspects of servicing and routine maintenace required.

The service engineer is responsible under the health and safety at work act 1974 vi the caustic nature of ﬁre cement and the possibility of disturbing asbestos and other materials such as ceramic in existing installations and to suggest appropriate protection to be given to the person (s) carrying out the servicing. The servicing must be carried out with due reference to the British Standards, Codes of Practice and Building Regulations relevant to the fuel typeinstalled, and the manufacturers installation instructions. This document is a General Servicing Guide only. It does not replace the installation instructions or building regulations. No servicing should be undertaken unless the engineer is suitably qualiﬁed.

Maintenance schedule

1. Weekly

A) Remove any ash that may have fallen from the ash pan in the stove under the grate. If this is allowed to build up it can foul the ash pan which may make closing the ash pan door difﬁcult and allow air to leak into the stove from the ash pan door seal.

B) Check the operation of the riddle mechanism to ensure that it has not become jammed. If it has become hard to riddle, remove all ash from the ﬁre bed and ensure that there is no clinker or nails or screws, which may have been in wood burned, obstructing the movement of the grate.

2. Monthly

A) Visually check the condition of the door rope seals, and if they have become frayed or are coming loose from their channel they may need replacing.

B) Check that the doors are sealing properly when shut and adjust the handle latches accordingly. See page

3. Every 3 Months

A) Remove the rear bafﬂe, see page ??, and remove any soot and debris that may have accumulated there. This may have to be done more regularly if wet wood has been burned or poor quality smokeless fuel or anthracite.

B) Check the operation of the thermostatic damper on the rear of the stove, clear any ash that may be fouling its operation and adjust the gap when the stove is cold. See page 14.

4. At the end of the Heating Season (Summer Shut Down)

A) Do all the above in the weekly, monthly and 3 monthly procedure.

B) Remove all the cast iron plates within the ﬁre box and clean any ash and debris out from the stove. Spray the inside of the stove with a water repellent lubricant such as WD40. Replace the cast iron parts and again spray these with a water repellent lubricant such as WD40.

C) Lubricate the door handle shafts with a lubricant such as WD40.

5. At the start of the Heating Season

A) Have the chimney swept and inspected by an approved (NACS) chimney sweep. The chimney may need sweeping more regularly dependant upon the fuel used and how often the stove is used.

B) Check the door rope seals so as to ensure an air tight seal. See page 8.

C) Check the operation of the riddle mechanism.

D) Light a small ﬁre and ensure all the smoke is being vented up the chimney.

Cleaning the Stove

Cleaning the Glass

Properly operated, with the correct fuel, your glass will remain clean. Slight staining may appear when the stove is lit and below its operating temperature. This will normally clear as the stove’s temperature rises. If it becomes necessary to clean the glass by hand do not attempt to do so unless the stove is cold. Proprietary glass cleaning agents are available but they must speciﬁcally state its suitability for ceramic stove glass before being used because the glass in you stove is not ordinary glass and may be damaged with an unsuitable cleaner. Newspaper moistened with water to which a little vinegar has been added will normally remove most staining, but for really stubborn marks, gentle polishing with ﬁne steel wool lubricated with a few drops of dish washing detergent will need to be employed. Great care must be taken not to clean the glass too vigorously as particles of grit may have adhered with the stain and these could cause scratching if dragged across the glass. However well the stove burns it will eventually become necessary to clean the glass, but if cleaning becomes necessary too often we advise you to review your operating procedures to determine whether cleaner and more efﬁcient combustion can be achieved (only burn dry seasoned wood).

The Stove Body

Dusting the stove may be carried out when the stove is at its minimum heat output temperature, using light strokes of a real bristle paint brush. Thorough cleaning, or any attempt to remove marks on the stove body must only be done when the stove is cold. Stoves with an enamel ﬁnish should be cleaned with a damp cloth, or very gentle use of a cleaner recommended for enamel ﬁnishes. It should be noted that even approved cleaners will damage the highly polished ﬁnish of the stove if used too vigorously. All traces of the cleaner must be removed before the stove is lit and no ﬁnishing polishes must ever be used as these will leave unsightly streaks on the stove when it becomes hot. Stoves with a cast black ﬁnish should never be cleaned with a cloth as the texture of the paint will abrade and collect lint from the cloth which will be almost impossible to remove. Vigorous brushing with a stiff real bristle paint brush will remove all dust, but where the paint is marked, the stains are better obliterated with a spray of suitable stove paint rather than attempts made to clean them off. Suitable paint may be purchased from a stove shop or direct from Euroheat.

Respraying the Stove Surface

Remove any dust and dirt with a stiff brush or vacuum with a brush attachment. Mask off any areas of the stove you do not wish to re-spray and the area surrounding the stove. The door handles and doors can be removed if require, see the section on hinge pin removal and door handle adjustment, page 9. Shake the can vigorously for a minute to mix the contents and apply the paint thinly and evenly over the surface, avoid over application as this will produce unsightly runs on the surface. It is better to use a few thin coats than one thick one.

Repair of the Enamel Surface

The enamel surface of the stove may become chipped if it is hit with a hard object such as a coal shovel or operating tool. Suitable cold enamel touch up paint may be purchased. To prepare the surface remove any loose or ﬂaking enamel ﬁnish and brush or vacuum the area to remove any dust and dirt. If the touch up is supplied in a bottle shake vigorously for a minute to mix the contents. If supplied in a tube squeeze out some of the contents onto a clean sheet of paper and mix with a match stick as it may have become separated in the tube. Apply a thin layer of touch up to the surface allowing it to dry before applying further layers to build the surface up to the surrounding enamels height. Leave to dry before ﬁring the stove.

If your stove has an enamel ﬁnish you will notice, after the stove has been used several times, it develops what is called a “crackle” pattern in the enamelling. This is caused by the different expansion rates between the enamel and the cast iron, it is normal and should not be regarded as a fault or indicating that the stove is beginning to shed its ﬁnish.

Order numbers for Touch up paint

Brass Fittings

Any proprietary brass cleaner may be used to clean the brass on the stove, but care must be taken to ensure the polish does not come into contact with the stove enamel or the black cast ﬁnish, where it will leave a stain.

Nickel and Black Heamatite Fittings

Any proprietary chrome or aluminium cleaner may be used to clean the decorative ﬁttings on the stove, but care must be taken to ensure the polish does not come into contact with the stove enamel or the black cast ﬁnish, where it will leave a stain.

The Flue

Even if your ﬂue is correctly lined it is advisable to run your stove at a high setting to thoroughly warm the ﬂue periodically and ensure it is swept regularly. If the stove has not been used for some time it will be necessary to ensure the ﬂue has not been blocked with twigs from home building birds or blocked with other obstructions before the stove is lit. Lighting a small piece of paper within the stove will determine the ﬂue’s ability to remove any products of combustion.
