Inside cleaning
The smoke shelf and baffle plate is to be removed from the stove before cleaning
(Drawing E).
• First lift the smoke shelf (1) out of the steel rail (2) at the back of the combustion chamber. Next, lower
it beneath the holders (3) and slide it out.
• Lift each half of the steel smoke plate (4) off the holder (5) behind the smoke pipe, and remove them
from the hook (6) beneath the top plate.
Ashes
The ash pan is best emptied by pulling a waste bag over the pan, tipping it and then carefully pulling it out
of the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic waste collection.
Please note that there may be embers in the ashes for up to 24 hours after the fire has
gone out!
Insulation
The efficient, but porous insulation of the combustion chamber may, in time, become worn and damaged.
Cracks in the insulation have no effect on the efficiency of the stove. The insulation should be replaced,
however, when it is reduced to less than half the original thickness due to wear and tear.
Door/glass
A sooty glass door can easily be cleaned with a piece of moist kitchen roll dipped in ash. Go about it
in vertical movements (up and down). Follow up with a dry piece of kitchen roll. Check frequently to
ensure that seals in the door and ash pan are intact and not brittle. Failing this, they should be replaced.
Use original seals only.
Surface
The surface normally requires no treatment. Any damage to the coating may be remedied using a Seno-
therm spray.
Guarantee
The guarantee does not cover damage due to insufficient maintenance!
Maintenance Alarms
If a maintenance alarm goes off, you can continue using the wood-burning stove, but contact your dealer
as soon as possible. Your stove could be affected by impure combustion.
