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.
