Maintenance

Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the stove in good condition.

Chimney

In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the beginning of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by an expert.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the chim-
ney checked for soot deposits.
After the heating season: seal off the chimney with
a ball of paper.
Cleaning and other regular
maintenance activities
Do not clean the stove when it is still warm.
Clean the exterior of the stove with a dry lint-free
cloth.
You can clean the stove interior thoroughly at the end
of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for instruc-
tions on removing and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it.
Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear . Check the fire-resistant inner plates
frequently and replace them when necessary.
See the chapter "Installation" for instructions on
removing and installing the inner plates.
The insulating vermiculite or chamotte inner
plates may develop hairline cracks, but this
does not affect their performance adversely.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Cast-iron inner plates last a long time if you
remove frequently the ash that can accumulate
behind them. If accumulated ash behind the
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate will no
longer be able to dissipate the heat to the sur-
roundings and this may cause the plate to warp
or crack.
Never use the stove without the fire-resistant
inner plates.
Dismantling damper and baffle
plate
Both the damper and the baffle plate can be dis-
mantled. To dismantle the baffle plate, the damper
and the damper rod must first be removed.
1. Open the stove door.
2. Lift the closed damper slightly and slide it above
the baffle plate so that they are both free.
3. Remove the damper and the damper rod from the
appliance.
4. Loosen the support plate by loosening the M8 nut.
The support plate is located in the middle against
the top plate of the appliance.
5. Lift the baffle plate at the front, pull the baffle plate
forward and take the baffle plate out of the appli-
ance.
Comment: To fit the damper and the baffle plate,
before starting to use the appliance, follow the above
instructions in the reverse order.

Cleaning glass

Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
