Review of Fireline FP5 stove

Mortified

7 years ago

Installed 4 weeks ago. Just burning wood. On our 3 rd use the glass on the door developed a huge brown burn mark which is not removable by any methods suggested here. The glass is burnt. We have been careful to follow instructions about vents etc. So extremely upset. The stove looks lovely but not the brown stain.

Stove expert replied: Have you gone back to your supplier to see if the glass could be looked at by the manufacturer? Marks should clean off if the correct fuels have been used and if the stove has been operated as per the instructions provided. Glass that will not clean can be caused by too little air going through the stove or indeed too much and the stove being overdrawn. Worth following up to prevent any further damage to the appliance.
