MAINTENANCE and SERVICING
5.6 The replacement of the system is the reverse of the previous
operations.
5.7 It is important to remove and clean the baffle system to
ensure the flue ways are clear of soot and debris to ensure
the safe and efficient operation of the appliance. The
frequency of cleaning will depend on the appliance
operating conditions.
5.8 The baffle system is designed to give safe and efficient
operation of the appliance. Replace any damaged baffles
immediately.
5.9 Do not modify the baffle system
6.1 As part of the routine maintenance of the Riva stove you
may have to remove the firebricks from the stove. This can
be carried-out without the use of tools, but the bricks must
be removed and replaced, after removing the baffle system.
6.2 Allow the stove to cool fully before removing firebricks.
6. FITTING AND REMOVAL OF FIREBRICKS
6.3 Replace the bricks in the reverse order from removal.
6.4 Care should be taken when handling bricks, as they can
become fragile after a period of use. This is normal and the
life will depend on the type of fuels burnt and the level of
use. Damaged bricks should be replaced as soon as
possible, and can be purchased from your Stovax dealer.
7.1 To maintain the safe use of your stove you may need to
replace a damaged door glass. To complete this operation,
use this method.
7.2 To remove the door first remove the hinge pin. Unscrewing
the hinge pin from the body of the Riva and pulling the pin
out from the hinge block does this. Support the weight of
the door before removing the pin. The door should be kept
in the closed position when the pin is removed. Release the
door catch to lift to door clear of the hinge blocks.
7.3 Lie the door on a soft flat surface, to protect the glass and
the paintwork
7.4 Remove the old door rope seal and scrape old glue from
the locating groove. Clean the locating groove with a clean
dry cloth to remove all old dust and debris.
7.5 Using a 2.5mm A/F hexagon key, remove the exposed fixing
screws in the rope seal locating groove, then remove the
trim/frame. The old glass can then be lifted clear of the
door. (Note how the edge sealing tape is fixed.) Remember
to dispose of the old glass safely.
