Cleaning and Care
What?
How often?

chamber floor must not be removed

Remove the ashpan and remove the
remaining ash with an ash shovel and
brush or ash vacuum.

pipes from soot depositions

cleaner.We recommend that

specialist dealer.
Clean enamelled surfaces.

Wipe with clean water and a soft

Clean the glass pane.
As required, only when cold. Before
spraying the glass pane with glass
cleaner, roll up some paper kitchen
roll into a cylinder and place it in the
door frame at the bottom so that no
cleanser can run between the door
frames and the glass.
Spray with stove glass cleaner (e.g.
from CERA-Design) and wipe.
Clean heat exchanger fireclay brick
As required when cold, at the latest
after each heating period.
Brush off the inclined surfaces using a
soot brush through the combustion
chamber from below; if the flue pipe is
connected at the rear take the cover
off if necessary (see installation of
fireclay heat-storing bricks) and clean
from above. Remove any fallen soot
with an ash vacuum.
