Cleaning and maintenance
Your fireplace stove is a high-quality product and no significant defects will appear during normal operation.
Fireplace stove and flue system need to be checked and cleaned regularly and thoroughly before and after the
heating season.
For cleaning and maintenance work you always have to make sure that the stove is not warm!
The surface of the fireplace stove is protected by flame-retardant coating. The flame-retardant coating
is not anticorrosive. Avoid direct contact with water, other cleaning agents, abrasives or solvents.
Clean the surfaces of the fireplace stove with a soft, dry cloth!
6.1
Cleaning the glass
The cleanliness of the window is influenced not only by the using of suitable fuel, providing sufficient air
intake and chimney draft but also by the method of operating the fireplace stove. In this respect we recommend
stoking only one layer of fuel and distributing the fuel as evenly as possible and as far from the glass as
possible. If the glass becomes dirty, try increasing the burning intensity by opening the air intake and the glass
will clean itself.
Sooty windows can be cleaned in cold state using newspapers or wet cloth dipped in wood ash. Usually
also liquid cleaning agents are used for cleaning the stove window. But these may in some cases, depending on
the composition of the cleaning agent and its interaction with combustion residues (ash particles, etc.), harm the
gaskets and/or the glass-ceramics and/or the decoration colour of the fireplace viewing panel.
The producer is not responsible for damages, which are caused by attack in using of chemical agents.
6.2
Cleaning the fireplace stoves / disassembly of chamotte
All sediments in flue pipes and combustion space must be removed during cleaning. Repair, ideally by
removing, all fallen-off parts of the chamotte lining. The integrity of the chamotte lining must be monitored also
during the heating season. Spaces between individual chamotte fittings serve as a heat dilatation preventing
cracking of the fittings and must not be filled by filling material as was usual with older types of solid fuel
heaters.
Cracked chamotte fittings are still functional until they fall out!
Bulk shutter for directing the draft,
if used, should be removed during cleaning (this enables easier access to the space above them). The fireplace
stove cleaning (with the exception of glass) should be done without water cleaner, i.e. using only vacuum
cleaner or steel brushes. Any modifications of the fireplace stove are unacceptable. Use only spare parts
approved by the manufacturer. Disassembly of chamotte (see the Chamotte chamber). From time to time the
friction areas of the door hinge and the closing mechanism should be oiled using carbonic fat or grease designed
for high temperatures. Close the fireplace stove with corresponding slide valves when not in operation.
6.3
Cleaning the chimney
Each user of a solid fuel heater is obliged to ensure regular checkups and cleaning of the chimney
in
accordance with the government regulation no. 34/2016 Coll. from 22
st
January 2016.
