Service inspection
Your stove should be given a thorough service inspection once a year. This includes:
• Thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Adjusting handles and door.
• Lubricating the hinges with copper grease.
• Replacing springs in the automatic combustion system, where necessary.
• Checking the automatic combustion system.
• Checking and/or replacing gaskets. Glass door gaskets must always be replaced.
• Checking and/or replacing mica board insulation material.
• Checking the construction.
• Checking the bottom and/or riddling grate.
Cleaning
Before sweeping, the regulator arm should be pushed fully to the left to prevent soot and ashes getting into
the automatics.
The smoke shelf and smoke channelling plates should be removed from the stove before cleaning.
See sectional drawing page 14.
1. The combustion chamber’s front mica board (8) is removed.
2. The lower front mica board is removed (9).
3. The front side plates (6) are removed.
4. The rear side plates (5) are removed.
5. The mica board fire box top baffle (1) is lifted out of the groove in the back plate (7) and tilted to
remove.
6. The lower secondary combustion baffle plate(3) is removed. The baffle plate is loosened by
removing the two tapered keys which secure the plate.
7. The upper secondary combustion baffle plate (2) is lifted out (the rear is tilted upward).
Automatic Combustion Control
See picture and instructions on page 18
Lift off the rear panel.
On a cold stove, the starting point of the mechanism is controlled. The starting point on a cold stove is about
10° above horizontal.
It should move easily and spring loaded when you push it, no matter if the stove is cold or hot.
With a rising or falling temperatures it should move gradually.
The damper plates must be dry and clean and slide together unhindered.
Control bars and slide gates may have to be smeared with WD40.
Insulation (Skamolex)
The mica board insulation material of the combustion chamber may, in time, become worn and damaged.
Cracks in the insulation have no effect on the efficiency of the stove. The insulation should be replaced,
however, when it is reduced to less than half the original thickness due to wear and tear.
