or more frequently, if needed. Take records about the stove cleaning (the date of cleaning, or
the photo of the interior area of the stove prior to the cleaning, etc.). Keep the records in the
Operation Manual - in the NOTES section.
When observing the Operation Manual, the interior area of the stove and fume duct shall be
clean, without the deposits of contaminants or carbon particles for rather long time, even when
heating frequently. However, should the Operation Manual not be followed, the interior areas
of the stove would rather rapidly get contaminated with very thick layer of contaminants and
carbon particles, which shall lead to various problems with heating (it is hard to make a fire in it,
the stove poorly heats despite that the regulation controls are set to maximum positions, black
fume goes up from the chimney, the glass on the loading door is constantly deposited with black
carbon particles, etc.). As long as you find the intensive accumulation of deposits and carbon
particles on the internal surface of the stove via inspection opening, you must immediately
adopt and carry out the following measures, since there is a great risk of death by suffocation,
intoxication, fire and the risk of property and surroundings damage by fire.
STOVE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
We recommend regular inspection, cleaning, maintenance and
possible repairs of the stove to be done by the competent employee of
the relevant servicing organisation who is trained by the manufacturer
of the stove, at least once a year.
Prepare a sufficient space around the stove, so that the individual parts of the stove would be
put aside there:
Remove the contaminants and ash from the furnace to the ash-can container,
Clean the ash-can container,
Then vent the stove as follows:
o
Ensure the sufficient supply of air to the room where the stove is installed
(air conditioning, fans and exhausters in the room must be switched off),
put all the regulation controls of the stove to maximum position, open the
ash-can door, loading door and furnace door on the stove.
o
Appropriately five minutes later, duly close all the doors, put the regulation
controls to minimum position. Following these steps you duly vented the
stove prior to cleaning and prepared it to cleaning. In addition, using this
measure you reduced the air flow in the area of the stove and its
surrounding to minimum, which shall minimise the dispersion of dust during
stove cleaning.

It is the best to start with the cleaning from top downwards. Disconnect the fume duct
of the stove from the chimney and to immediately close the open hole to the chimney
