7.0. Maintenance
7.1. Cleaning and maintenance
The wood-burning stove and smoke pipe should be maintained and cleaned once a year.
The chimney must likewise be cleaned by the chimney sweep who will set the necessary intervals
For cleaning / sweeping.
The wood-burning stove should be inspected by a professional about once a year.
7.2. Parts
Because of fit etc. we recommend that you only use original parts from TermaTech. The cleaning
of the stove should only be performed when the stove is cold. The daily maintenance is limited
but once a year the stove should get a thorough maintenance. The combustion chamber should
be cleaned for ashes and soot. The door hinges and the closing mechanism should be lubricated
with copper grease or another heat resistant lubricant.
7.3. Jointings / gaskets
The jointings can look ok but with time they can collapse under the heat and can thereby loose
the ability to keep the stove sealed. Jointings should be changed as needed. This assures a good
environmentally friendly combustion and a clean window.
7.4. The surface
The surface is maintained by brushing it with a soft brush, possibly the vacuum cleaner with a
brush. The stove can also be dusted with a duster. Always remember: only when the stove is
cold. Never use cleaning detergents or water on the lacquered surface.
7.5. The insulation plates
The insulation plates in the combustion chamber that are broken or worn can easily be changed
as they are loosely mounted. The material used is called Vermiculite and is a porous but very
suitable insulation material. It has no effect on the stove’s efficiency that the insulation cracks.
However, it should be replaced when the wear surpasses half of the original thickness or when it
is recommended by the chimney sweep. For replacement, see illustration page 13.1.
7.6. Painting
Painting the stove with the senotherm-spray can cover spots or small scratches. Larger damages
need to be ground with fine steel wool, vacuumed and then sprayed. Shake the can vigorously
and then spray from a distance of about 15-20 cm. It is important the stove is not in use and
completely cold before you use the spray due to the fire hazard. In order to keep the stove’s
varnished surfaces looking nice for many years to come please refrain from touching the surface
when the stove is hot. Ensure sufficient ventilation when spraying.
7.7. Glass
The glass does normally not need maintenance apart form cleaning. This is done by using Ter-
maTech’s glass cleaner. Termatech glass cleaner must only be used when the stove is cold. Item
number 43-102.
7.8 Disposal of the glass
If the glass is broken it cannot be disposed with normal glass waste as it is ceramic glass (to be
disposed as ceramic)
8.0. Adjusting the stove
8.1. Adjusting the doors auto lock
On the door/hinge on your TT80 is a spring This makes the door automatically close when you let
go of the handle. The closing devise is not a demand, however, we recommend to keep this func-
tion. If you wish it can be removed by taking off the split with the lentil head (on lowest hinge)
whereby the tension is removed from the spring. This can easily be done by using a flat screw
-
driver and pliers. See section 13.2.
8.2. Adjustable feet
There are 5 adjustable feet mounted under the stove. Open the door to the firewood compart
-
ment and adjust the feet up or down. It is recommended to adjust the feet so that the stove is
approx. 5mm above the floor.
