problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the stove.
To reach the nominal output, approximately 2
kg of fuel needs to be burnt every 45 minutes.

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
chimney 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
instructions on removing and installing the inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts. Remove
the top plate to this end. The top plate lies loosely
on the appliance.
If required, remove the baffle plate at the top of the
appliance and clean it.

Remove and install baffle plate
Unscrew the clamping plate on the front of the baffle
plate. Lift the baffle plate from the support and tilt the
baffle plate out of the appliance. Please ensure that
the rear of the baffle plate properly connects to the air
tunnel at the back of the appliance when reinstalling.

Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear . Vermiculite inner plates are fragile.
Do not knock the inner plates with logs. 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.
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
surroundings and this may cause the plate to
warp or crack.
Never use the stove without the fire-resistant
inner plates.
Cleaning glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
