    Hi, does anyone know how to take the door off a 250?

    Stove expert replied: • Remove the door from the appliance, by opening, removing the hinge pins and lifting the door free of the hinge blocks There is the above guidance in the manual that is provided with the stove. If you can review the stove would be of interest to other customers.

The ash riddle is too stiff to use and the control at the top right hand corner is also too stiff to alter easily. I am quite angry about the enamel but apart from that I quite like it. ... []

    Stove expert replied: Wire wool on glass is not a good idea as the surface may become scratched which will then lead to not being able to clean it at all. Try a damp cloth dipped in woodash or vinegar, Use only smokeless fuels and dry seasoned wood.
