be damaged.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, and ash must not be allowed to accu-
mulate behind an inner plate. Remove the excess ash
regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Use the riddling rod to make the ash drop through
the grate into the ash pan.
3. Using the cold handle glove supplied, remove the
ash pan and empty it; see the next two figures.
4. Replace the ash pan and close the door of the
appliance.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

Resolving problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.

Maintenance

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

Flue

In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the chim-
ney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the chim-
ney checked for soot.
At the end of the heating season: close off the chim-
ney and plug with newspaper.
Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the appliance 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 that
are subject to wear and tear. 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.
