rEGGulator and hinge oiling
Oil the rEGGulator and hinge
BGE Europe's maintenance page. The rEGGulator has no fixing: it sits loose on the chimney.
- Lift the rEGGulator off the chimney, in gloves if it is warm.
- Rub it with vegetable oil or Crisco, ideally while still slightly warm.
- Work the lid and disc to and fro to spread the oil.
- Spray the hinge pivot with WD-40 or silicone spray.
- Wash the hinge steel and springs with soapy water.
