Cleaning painted surfaces
Dust the remaining ashes from the painted parts using a soft hand brush or cotton cloth. Never
wash the appliance with water! This can cause rust.
Ceramic window
The cleanliness of the glass is influenced not only by the use of suitable fuel, ensuring adequate air
supply and chimney draft, but also by how the stove is used. Here, we recommend firing up only
one layer of fuel and distributing the fuel as evenly as possible and as far away from the glass as
possible. If the glass gets dirty, try increasing the fire intensity by opening the air intake and the
glass will clean itself.
TIP
: The appliance must be cooled down prior to cleaning the glass.
The glass can be cleaned:
•
Dip a newspaper or a damp cloth in the white ash from the stove and rub the glass with it. The
ash has a slightly abrasive effect.
•
Then rub the glass again with a piece of newspaper or a damp cloth. Finally, polish the glass
with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
There are special cleaning products for stove glass. Be careful with these products, because some
of them can damage the fireproof paint. Carefully follow the instructions of the cleaning agent.
TIP
: NEVER use "abrasive" cleaners, as they can damage the protective film of the glass and
eventually break the glass.
Before and after the heating season
After the
heating season (i.e. during the summer months) it’s recommended to remove or seal the
flue pipe between the stove and chimney in order to prevent condensation and/or corrosion in the
stove. This increases the lifetime of your stove.
