MAINTENANCE
ASH REMOVAL
This should be necessary when ash level is upto lower door opening. Simply shovel out
any excess, always leaving a bed of ash to the tops of the ribs on the bottom of the cast
firebox or 10-15mm in steel firebox. Place the removed ashes in a noncombustible
container with a tightly fitting lid, and move the container outdoors immediately to a
place clear of combustible materials.
CLEANING THE GLASS
A good hot fire will burn away any deposits left from a long slow burn. A dampened
newspaper with ash or a non-caustic oven cleaner can be used to clean the glass.
CLEANING THE CABINET OR FASCIA
A soft rag is sufficient to clean and maintain the finish of the panels. Household detergent
may damage painted panels or give bad odors while running the fire.
ADJUSTING THE DOOR LATCH
If the handle is front mounted, the latch can be adjusted to overcome settling of the door
gasket by transferring a washer to the outside of the door catch spindle.
If the handle is side mounted, the latch is adjusted by rotating the door catch peg. First
undo the lock-nut on the inside of the peg, and then rotate the peg to the position where
the cam portion gives the right locking pressure. Hold the peg in this position, re-tighten
the lock nut. The hinge on all models can also be adjusted inward if necessary. Move it
in about a millimetre at top and bottom to maintain an even gasket pressure. Serious
leakage will require a new door seal.
HEAT OUTPUT CONTROL (AIR SLIDE)
If the air slide does not move freely, have an installer inspect the unit and apply a
small amount of heat resistant air slide lubricant, available from Glen Dimplex.
CLEANING INSIDE
If you wish to clean the flue or clear away creosote debris, the internal components can be
removed easily (See below). We recommend that you check the condition of all internal
components at least once a season to make sure they are still serviceable.
SECONDARY AIR TUBE REMOVAL
Tubes are fitted either with removable pin on right hand side or with an “R” clip on left hand
side of the firebox or removable split pin on left or right hand side. (Refer diagrams on next
page)
Removable pin type - The tube will have a removable angle pin on right hand side to prevent
it from moving endways and falling out. The left hand side will have a welded-on locating
pin. To remove the tube, simply withdraw the right angle pin from the tube, move the tube
sideways until left end can be swung down from its locating slot in the firebox side casting
and then move it sideways in the other direction to disengage it completely from the
firebox.
When re-fitting the tube, ensure that the small air holes will discharge generally toward
the lower front of the firebox, rotating the tube until the welded-on left locating pin will
engage in the slot in the cast iron firebox side casting to maintain the correct angular
position of the tube. Replace the angle pin at the other end of the tube.
