MAINTENANCE
4.4 Clean the internal surfaces of the appliance using a wire brush and scraper as required.
Vacuum and brush the resulting debris from the stove then give the inside of the
appliance a protective coating of light oil, such as WD40®.
4.5 Clean the Grate parts with a wire brush, and check the parts for any damage. Replace
any damaged parts, if required, and coat all parts with a protective coating of light oil,
such as WD40®.
4.6 Re-fit cleaned internal parts.
4.7 Remove the glass from the door, and discard all old rope and strip seals. Clean the old
glue from the door sealing rope grove and remove dust and dirt. Clean the door glass
using Stovax Stove Glass Cleaner and a soft cloth, do not use abrasive cleaners to
remove tar or soot deposits from the glass.
4.8 Replace the glass edge seal with a new seal and re-fit the glass into place in the door.
4.9 Fit new door rope seal, gluing it in place with Stovax Thermic Seal rope adhesive.
When fitting new door seals we recommend closing the appliance door and leaving for
at least 12 hours before using. This allows the adhesive to fully bond to the seal before
use.
4.10 Lightly oil the door catch mechanism and hinge pins. Avoid getting oil on to the door
seals and glass.
4.11 To refresh the finish on painted appliances it is possible to re-paint using Stovax
Thermolac Stove paint.
4.12 We recommend that only genuine Stovax replacement parts are used to keep your
Stockton stove in safe and efficient working order. Your local Stovax dealer will be able
to provide you with the genuine parts you require.
4.13 Heating circuit parts should be maintained in accordance with the individual suppliers
recommendation.
