Westfire WF36 Installations- Und Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 17

Refuelling on a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can
occur. Refuelling must be carried out on a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel
charge will ignite. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the appliance
door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be
operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded. Overloading can cause excess
smoke.
Annual service
The inside of the stove should be serviced / cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar
residue from the combustion chamber. Remove insulated chamber panels and baffle to clean, as dirt and soot will
collect behind it. Insulated panels may crack if hit too hard by a piece of firewood. This has no effect on the function
of the stove, but this is not the case with the smoke plate. The insulated panels will only need to be replaced once
they become very worn and are no longer whole, or if they crack in several places. Check that glass is correctly
positioned and replace stove door rope cord in the door.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove, if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The paint / lacquer may wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a Westfire Senotherm paint / lacquer spray available from your Westfire dealer.
Ash must be stored in a non-combustible container and must not be mixed with other combustible waste.
