Generally speaking the stove should undergo a thorough maintenance at least once a year if the appliance is
used frequently. We recommend carrying out smaller maintenance work such as removing ashes and
cleaning the glass at more regular intervals. Note that the stove may only be cleaned when it is cooled
down.
Removing ashes
Depending on the amount of ashes, the ashtray should be emptied regularly. After many hours of firing,
there is of course the necessary ash left. Leave the ash in the stove for as long as possible. Only when the
ash layer blocks the primary air holes in the front and back of the combustion chamber, scoop it out. This
should be done with a steel shovel and bucket, because even after a few days the ash can still smoulder.
Ash from clean and dry wood is a natural product. So you can use it as a soil improver.
Cleaning the flue
Flue dust and ashes must be removed from the smoke discharge duct (between the cleaning hatch and the
back plate) every year.
Cleaning painted surfaces
Dust the remaining ashes from the painted parts using a soft hand brush or cotton cloth. Never
wash the appliance with water! This can cause rust.
Ceramic window
ATTENTION! The appliance must be cooled down prior to cleaning the glass.
Although the stove has a window ventilation system, there may still be some deposits on the glass. You can
remove any deposits with a special window cleaner, which you can leave to work in if you wish. Never
clean the window with an abrasive and/or scouring sponge. These substances scratch the coating.
ATTENTION!
If you are not firing, open the door of the stove. This prevents condensation and possible rust.
By applying the following tips and tricks you can prevent damage to the glass.
•
Don't let burning logs pass the log grid.
•
When filling wood prevent logs from falling against the glass.
•
Don't put too much pressure on the glass during cleaning.
•
Check the voltage on the window when the appliance is first used (both for a new appliance and when
it is first used after summer). There should be a slight slack in the window, otherwise the voltage
should be removed before using the appliance for the first time.
If the glass breaks, then please consult your dealer.
