Maintenance
It takes only little effort to keep your stove in good condition.
Regularly check whether the sealing cord still closes the doors tightly enough.
The painted or enamelled cast iron mantle can be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth,
when it is almost cold.
Minor paint damage can be touched up with a can of spray paint. Your dealer can
supply you with the correct spray product. For enamel damage, small repair kits of
appropriate colour are available with your dealer.
During the first use after repainting your unit might give off some slight odour.
However, this will disappear quickly.
The glass can be cleaned with a number of glass cleaning products available on the
market. Your installer can also supply you with appropriate products. However, nev-
er use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.
A tight upper air slide can be adjusted with the two screws
just above the air intake holes on the front plate (see
sketch).
At the end of the heating season, seal off the chimney
with a ball of paper. You can then thoroughly clean the
stove on the inside.
If necessary, replace the sealing ropes and use fire cement
to fill up possible leaks.
Remove the fire plate for better and more thorough clean-
ing. The fire plate is fixed onto the back plate of the stove
with one bolt, visible from the outside (see sketch). After
having removed this bolt, you can easily take the fire plate
out of the stove. Eventually remove the refractory stones
first.
You should have your chimney swept by an expert before
the heating season begins. It is useful to check the chimney for soot during the
heating season as well. Checking and maintaining the chimney is a statutory require-
ment.
When all of the above advice is heeded, you will be able to fully enjoy your stove.
