England's Stove Works 50-SHW15 - Manual (Page 12)

C. Firebrick (Part #AC-SB; 20 Required)
This stove is equipped with high density, high temperature firebrick. If the brick
becomes chipped or cracked, especially on the sides of the firebox, it should be
replaced. The brick can be ordered from your local dealer or from the factory.
D. Finish (Part #AC-MCSP; 12 oz. Spray Can)
Your stove has been painted with 1200 degree Metallic Charcoal paint that will
retain its original appearance for years. However, if your stove should get wet, some
rust spots may appear. These can be removed with plain steel wool and touched up
with new paint. If you need to repaint the unit, use our paint as other brands may not
be able to withstand the high surface temperatures. This spray paint can be ordered
from your local dealer or from the factory.
SECTION VII: CHIMNEY AND FLUE PIPE MAINTENANCE
A. Chimney System
Many stove owners prefer to clean their own chimneys; however, we highly
recommend a chimney sweep be contacted to do this job. A professional sweep can
clean and inspect your system and in some cases spot problems that you may
overlook.
B. Flue Pipe Maintenance
When connecting your unit to the flue system, 24 gauge or thicker pipe should be
used. Your pipe should be cleaned at least once a year and inspected monthly. Most
people will clean their pipe and stove at the end of the heating season as this will
keep odors from entering the house during the summer months. The flue pipe should
be replaced every three to five years, depending on the thickness of the pipe (thicker
pipe will last longer).
