cold.
Combustion chamber
The fireproof tiles in the combustion chamber eventually wear out and should be replaced when the cracks
are more than 0.5 cm. The durability of the tiles depends on how often and how intensively the stove is used.
You can change the tiles yourself. They are available as a ready-to-use set. For further information, go to

How do I remove the Bauart spring?
All Aduro stoves are fitted with a "Bauart" safety spring. The mechanism ensures that the door of the stove
closes automatically. The "Bauart" spring is only a law requirement in Germany.
How to remove it:
•
If you wish to remove or replace the spring with a new one it is possible to cut the spring using a
pincer. It is advisable to hold the spring with pliers or cover it with a cloth or other device to absorb
the tension, as the pieces might spring out right after the cut.
•
Please note that the spring is in tension when the door opens, so make sure to protect yourself
during fitting and removal.
Glass
Wet wood, unsatisfactory chimney draft, and wrong use of the stove can leave soot stains on the glass pane.
They can easily be removed using a damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass. Special
cleaning agents are also available to remove soot from glass, e.g. the Aduro Easy Clean pad. The pad
neither scratch nor damage the glass and is for multiple usage. Water or other cleaning agents are not
necessary.
It is common maintenance to tighten the glass fittings and the hinges shortly after the stove has been
installed as well as to check if the gaskets are properly placed.
Gaskets
With time, gaskets around glass and door will wear. We recommend that you inspect them regularly. If
leakages appear, they must be replaced.
Ashes
Empty the ashpan before it gets completely full. Always leave a layer of ashes in the stove because it
insulates and makes it easier to light a fire.
Cleaning the stove
The stove's surface is treated with a heat-resistant Senotherm® paint, which will stay at its best just by being
vacuumed with a small, soft mouthpiece or dusted with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use spirit or other solvents, as
they will remove the paint.
