Preparing for a low (overnight) burn For an extended low burn ensure a maximum fuel load is placed into the heater, following the reloading procedure outlined previously.
Maintenance Paint surfaces After the curing process has taken place, little maintenance is required other than dusting off with a cotton cloth. Most marks can be buffed out with a cotton cloth without the need for retouching. NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh solvents (such as methylated spirits). Should you experience scuffing or scratching, or discolouration due to incomplete curing, the high temperature paint can be touched up and matching spray cans may be purchased from your Heatcharm dealer.
Door Adjustment The door is unlikely to become misaligned unless it is knocked and attempts at adjustment may cause rather than solve a problem. Always consult your Heatcharm dealer before attempting any adjustment to the door. 1. Remove door by opening fully and lifting door up off the hinge. (Freestanding models require top panel to be propped up prior to lifting door).
