6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Basic information
Note
When you vacuum clean around the stove ensure that you do not vacuum into
the combustion air intake during heating operation. You could vacuum out
embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Your stove must be cooled down before any maintenance work is performed.
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the maintenance
intervals depend on the fuel you use. High moisture content, ash, dust and
chips may more than double the maintenance required. Only use wood that has
been stored properly and is dry and untreated.
Tip
Wood as fertiliser - the mineral content of the wood remains in the combustion
chamber as ash as a residue of the combustion. This is an excellent fertiliser
for all plants in the garden; it is a completely natural product. The ash should
be stored first and slaked with water.
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers!
Open the combustion chamber door
You get your new stove with a removable handle that is used to open or close
the combustion chamber door. If you hold the handle vertically (label facing
forward), you can insert the handle at the right side cover into the opening
mechanism.
If you turn the handle counterclockwise or press forward, the door opens. Do
not turn back the handle, the door is pulled back by a spring and locks. If
necessary, close completely by turning the handle clockwise.
Cleaning the combustion chamber
The combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to ensure an
adequate supply of air. If you remove the grate, you can sweep the ashes with
a broom in the ash tray.
You can also use an ash vacuum cleaner.
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly. The ash drawer is simply pulled forward with
the combustion chamber door open.
Cleaning the door glass
The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed
with a special cleaner (free from corrosive acids and solvents - otherwise there
is a risk of damage to the glass surface) available from your stove dealer. Usual
cleaners containing acid or solvents can be too harsh and damage the glass.
Note
Never use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the wooden door
handle, these will damage the wood.
Cleaning painted surfaces
Wipe the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub. Do not use solvent-
containing cleaners.
Cleaning the convection air openings
Vacuum clean any dust deposits from the convection air openings at regular
intervals.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the heating season
to prevent excess odour.
Checking door seal
annually!
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at least once
a year. Repair or replace seals depending on condition.
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly!
