Maintenance
Steel parts on the outside
Dust the stove using a soft non-fibrous cloth. If necessary, clean with lean soapsuds. Slightly damaged spots can be touched
up using an abrasive cloth and special stove paint.
Ask your supplier for advice.
Ceramic elements on the outside
You need not worry about small shrinkage cracks in the ceramic side elements. Dust the side elements using a soft cloth.
Ceramic elements on the inside
You need not worry about cracks in the ceramic elements as long as the flame does not come in direct contact with the
material behind them. Should this be the case, however, then it will be necessary to replace the element; contact your
supplier.
Vertical ventilation pipes
If these metal pipes have burned through, they must be replaced. By pushing the first baffle slightly up and slightly lifting the
second baffle, the pipes can be removed and replaced. Note: the left and right pipes differ from one another.
The glass
The glass steams up when burning wet fuel or too little oxygen is supplied. Also, the glass may steam up when the fire does
not start fiercely enough. This happens, for instance, when starting with solid logs instead of thin kindling wood. Moisture will
then remain in the stove for too long and settle on the coldest part: the glass.
•
Light moisture
Remove light deposits of moisture using paper towel and then a damp cloth. When doing so, apply light pressure on
the outside of the glass so that it will not shift.
•
Thicker deposit
Use moist paper towel with some white ashes from the stove or the special stove-glass cleaner. Allow a moment for
this to have its effect. Always ensure that these agents do not come in contact with the enamel to avoid stains from
being formed.
Maintenance of moving parts
Moving parts can be lubricated using graphite grease. Ask your supplier for advice.
After chimney sweeping is completed
To remove soot/waste after the chimney has been swept, you can push the first baffle slightly up and slightly lift the second
baffle. Any soot/waste still left on the second baffle can be removed using a vacuum cleaner.
