FIRING IN TRANSITIONAL PERIODS
At outside temperatures above 15
°
C, due to small transport pressure, small fire occurs in
chimney thus creating more soot in cook-stove flueways and masonry chimney. Increase
primary air supply, stoke fire more often, and add smaller pieces of chopped wood more
often in order to decrease soot formation in transitional periods.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE COOK-STOVE
Regular maintenance and care such as the cleaning of cook-stove, flueways and chimney
pots are especially important for safe operation, economy and preserving the value of
cook-stove.
Maintenance of enameled cook-stove surfaces is only recommended in cold state. Cook-
stove should be cleaned with clean water and soft cloth, and in special cases with
soapsuds.
Cleaning intervals mainly depend on the usage of fuel, time of cook-stove use, and the
way of use thereof.
Unnecessary formation of dust can be avoided if the following cleaning schedule is
observed.
*
Removal of cooking plate and thorough cleaning thereof.
*
Cleaning from soot and deposits on the top side of oven and at locations where
heating gases pass.
*
Placing the plate.
*
Opening the protective cover (under oven door) and removal thereof for cleaning.
*
Removal of soot and ashes from partition sheet metal.
*
Removal of soot and ashes from cook-stove bottom.
*
Fixing the protective cover at the front and reclosing thereof.
