Regular maintenance and care or cleaning of the appliance, the fl ue gas ducts,
the connecting piece and the chimney are particularly important for the opera-
tional safety, effi ciency and maintaining the value of the appliance.
A thorough cleaning should be performed after each heating period and after
a long period of non-use (see Important instructions, page 4). When used fre-
quently or when using poor-quality fuels, correspondingly more often.
• Remove cooking plate and clean it, in particular the underside. With glass
ceramic hobs, clean the bottom with a hand brush, and for steel cooking
plates use a wire brush.
• Remove the grate and brush it. Clear out clogged grate slits.
• Remove and sweep fl ue gas pipe(s).
• Clean combustion chamber walls and fl ue gas ducts with the ash shovel.
• Brush start-up fl ap and fi xture and check that it operates correctly.
• Remove ash pan and empty it. Sweep the ash pan enclosure.
• Use the ash shovel to clean the fl ue gas ducts accessible after removing the
cleaning cover.
• Check the sealing cords of the cooking plate and of the cleaning cover; re-
place them if required.
• Clear the secondary air vents of the protective plate of the fi rebox door using
a wire brush.
• When cleaning chrome, anodised or enamel surfaces, use only gentle (non-
alkaline) cleaning agents and no abrasive cleaning tools. The same applies
to cleaning the oven.
• When reinstalling the various appliance components (fl ue gas pipe, cooking
plate, grate, cleaning cover, ash pan) ensure they are correctly positioned and
function as required and / or that there are no leaks.
• When positioning the cooking plate, make sure there is a 2 mm wide gap to
the stove frame all round.
Cleaning opening
The cleaning door panel is secured by a ball catch and swivels open (Figure
33). The cleaning cover behind it is attached to the stove front with 2 wing
nuts and should be removed to clean the fl ue gas ducts. Before replacing the
cover, check the rope seal of the cleaning cover for tightness and replace it if
necessary.
Removing cooking plate
To remove the cooking plate fi rst open the oven door (Figure 34). Insert the
supplied multi-purpose wrench into the opening below the stove frame, push
the cooking plate upwards and take it out.
Using a vacuum cleaner
Allow the appliance to cool down completely and only use a vacuum cleaner
with an “Ash Box” accessory – FIRE HAZARD.
Cleaning the heat exchanger
To clean the tube heat exchanger, take out the cooking plate. Remove the
change-over damper stop on the rear wall of the heat exchanger (Figure 35).
Swing open the change-over damper by means of the operating mode control.
Remove deposits from the heat exchanger pipes using the supplied cleaning
brush.
Cleaning the connecting piece
Take out the cooking plate and clean the exhaust gas pipe connection and the
connecting piece with a suitable brush or use the vacuum cleaner (only with an
“Ash Box” accessory – fi re hazard). Provide cleaning openings for long connec-
ting pieces and angled pieces.
