The fireplace glass may become sooty even when using dry wood
with a moisture content of 15 - 20%. Regular cleaning with damp paper
is usually sufficient to keep it clean. If the soot has been on the glass
for a long time dip the damp paper into the ashes and wipe clean. Ashes
and water will remove the soot. Detergents and special soot removers/
fireplace glass cleaners are also available from supermarkets, DIY
shops or your local stove dealer. Never use cleaning agents that contain
abrasives or that have a corrosive effect on printed or painted glass.
These may damage the glass/paintwork. Never use cleaning agents that
contain sodium hydroxide. These have a corrosive effect on sealing
strips.
When emptying the ash-pan, ensure that there are no glowing embers.
The ash must be stored in a fireproof container with a lid for at least one
week before being disposed of.
Also clean inside the area where the ash-pan is located, otherwise
spilled ash can prevent the ash-pan from being fully inserted.
Use a wire brush to clean the grate and other cast-iron components in
the firebox.
Gaskets should be inspected to ensure correct combustion. Worn
gaskets reduce combustion efficiency because the stove draws
additional air.
Painted parts of the stove can be cleaned using a damp cloth and, if
necessary, some washing-up liquid. Scratches on painted surfaces can
be repaired using Contura touch-up paint. Contact your dealer.
The constant flow of air through the stove, as cold air is drawn in from
the room and hot air is released, can cause dust to collect behind and
under the stove. These places should therefore be cleaned regularly.
Parts located near the actual seat of the fire may require replacing. The
hearth cladding and grate are two such parts. The useful life of these
parts depends on how, and how much, the stove has been used.
Only use spare parts recommended by Contura.
