Let the embers burn out and leave the stove to cool down.
Once the stove is cold, empty and clean out the fire chamber and ash pan!

Notes on heating
A properly adjusted secondary air flow ensures that any combustible elements in
the flue gases are burned off. This means they are burned in a way which
reduces the smoke and soot released into the environment. it is always possible
that the
window glass will become dirty
and this does
not mean
there is a
malfunction
.
If you use your stove in the spring or autumn, you must check the draw of your
chimney first, as if the outside temperatures are high this can drop off
substantially. To do this hold a burning match in the fire door when it is partially
opened. If the flame is not clearly drawn inwards, then you first need to light a
starter fire. Do this by briefly burning some wood shavings in the stove or the
cleaning opening of the chimney itself.
The grid must be cleaned before placing any fuel on it, in order to ensure a good
supply of air to the burning material. The ash pan must be emptied regularly,
when it is cold. If the stove is still hot, use the gloves provided. Please make sure
that no glowing embers are put into your dustbin.
Take care that the ash pan is pushed in until it touches the rear wall.
PLEASE NOTE:
In the interests of clean air and safe functioning of the stove do not exceed
the maximum quantities of fuel. Otherwise there is a risk of overheating,
which can damage the stove. Damage of this kind is not covered by the
guarantee. Reduced heating should only be achieved by reducing the
quantity
of
fuel,
never
by
reducing
the
primary
airflow.

Care and cleaning
3.6.1 Cooker (Fig. 4)
After opening the fire door the grid must be cleaned using the soot scraper and
the fire iron before adding fuel.
The ash pan (1) should be emptied daily. The grid should be scraped clean of
cinders at least every third day.
By using/managing and caring for/cleaning your stove properly you enhance its
value and prolong its useful life. You save valuable resources and spare both the
environment and your wallet. The hob plates (2) and heating plates (3) should be
removed for cleaning and cleaned free from soot. By removing the hob and
heating plates the flue gas channel and the flue pipe inside the stove can also be
cleaned. By loosening of the cleaning cover (4) the lower part of the flue gas
channel around the oven can also be cleaned.
After finishing cleaning, the heating and hob plates must be replaced correctly.
The cleaning cover (4) under the oven needs to be closed tightly again.
