LEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In general it can be said that if the stove is used on a regular basis, it must be given a thorough
cleaning at least once a year.
We recommend carrying out small cleaning jobs such as emptying the ash pan and cleaning the
door pane at regular times. The stove must only be cleaned when it is completely cold.
10.1 Removing and emptying the ashpan
The ash pan must be emptied regularly, and certainly before it reaches the height of the grate.
Otherwise the grill cannot cool down and the cast iron elements can melt.
10.2 Ceramic window
The Saey LINUS has a high-performance airwash system which prevents the window from turning
black too quickly. However, it cannot prevent a long-term attack on the glass. Using damp or wet
wood makes the problem worse. The water vapour released sticks to the window and holds the
soot particles.
Warning!
The stove pane must only be cleaned when it is completely cold.
The best and cheapest cleaning agent is the ashes themselves.
How do I use the ashes to clean the glass pane?
Place a slightly damp piece of newspaper or rag in the white ashes of the cool stove and
rub this on the glass. The ashes have a gently scouring effect.
Then rub the door pane with another damp piece of newspaper or rag. Finally polish the
door pane up with a clean dry soft cloth.
There are also special cleaning products for stove windows. Be careful with these products
because some can damage the fireproof paint on the stove. Follow the instructions on the cleaning
products carefully.
Warning!
NEVER use ‘scouring’ cleaning products, they can damage the protective layer
on the glass and cause it to crack.
10.3 Cleaning the smoke channels
Once per burning season the fly ash must be removed from the smoke channels.
To easily reach the airchannels you have to remove the chamotte from the interior of the stove.
