3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
The operation is described in the enclosed user manual.
Accessories
You can obtain floor plates made of glass or steel, and care products from your certified dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Have defective parts replaced by your certified dealer. This will guarantee that your stove functions
properly and safely.
The fireplae must not be altered.
Maintenance
To clean the glass, please use a specialised product such as Thermohit glass cleaner. Lacquered surfaces are to be
cleaned only with a cloth (may be damp).
ATTENTION:
Only gaskets in good order ensure the proper function of your stove
!
Cleaning
The stove, flue outlets and smoke pipes should be cleaned and inspected for deposits every year
–
if necessary more
often, e.g. after the cleaning of the chimney. The chimney also has to be cleaned regularly by the chimneysweeper.
Your chimneysweeper will inform you of the necessary inspection intervals. An expert should inspect the stove
annually.
