After a longer period of disuse
If you have not used your wood-burning stove in a while (e.g. for an entire summer season), it
is important to check for blockage in the chimney duct. Contact your local chimney sweep.
Connecting several heating sources to the same chimney
It is possible to connect several units to some chimneys. All applicable regulations must first
be consulted, in your building code and with your local chimney sweep.
Chimney fire
In the event of a chimney fire:
Close all dampers in the stove and chimney and immediately call the fire department.
Before using the wood-burning stove again, your local chimney sweep must first inspect the
chimney.
Cleaning and maintaining your wood-burning stove
Warning:
Cleaning and maintenance of your wood-burning stove may only be performed
when it is cool.
External cleaning
The outside of your stove can be dusted as needed with a soft cloth or dust brush.
Cleaning the glass door
Your WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with a pane-flush system, which reduces the
build-up of soot on the glass. If soot somehow accumulates on the pane, it can be cleaned by
wiping the glass with a moist paper towel dipped in ash. Afterwards, dry with a clean paper
towel. You should also ensure that air gaps in the door frame are free of ash and soot particles.
Also ensure that the seals on the stove are soft and fully intact; if they are not, ”false” air can
enter the stove, which makes it more difficult to control combustion and can in turn cause
overheating or soot accumulation. Faulty or worn seals should therefore be replaced and can
be purchased at your local wood-burning stove dealer.
Emptying the ash pan
Important:
Be aware that embers in the ash can remain hot for up to 24 hours after the fire in
the stove has gone out!
The ash pan is most easily emptied by pulling a waste bag over the pan, turning the pan upside
down, and then carefully pulling it up and out of the bag again.
