Relatively speaking, burning wood produces little ash and it
will not be necessary to remove it each time daily. The ash
in the cavities between the ribs of the fire plate does not
need to be removed, since wood burns better on a bed of
ash.
4.5.
Extinguishing the fire
Stop fuelling the fire and let it burn out.
Damping a fire by closing the air slides involves the release of noxious gases. You
should let the fire burn out and keep an eye on it as long as it is still glowing.
4.6. Weather
conditions
Attention!
Mist and heavy fog will block the chimney's fume outlet and may lead to smoke
emission into the living room.
It is best not to use the stove under these weather conditions.
5. Maintenance
It takes only little effort to keep your stove in good condition.
Regularly check whether the sealing cord still closes the doors tightly enough.
The painted or enamelled cast iron mantle can be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth,
when it is almost cold.
Minor paint damage can be touched up with a can of spray paint. Your dealer can
supply you with the correct spray product. For enamel damage, small repair kits of
appropriate colour are available from your dealer. Make sure no aggressive, acid
products get in touch with enamelled parts.
During the first use after repainting your unit might give off some slight odour.
However, this will disappear quickly.
The glass can be cleaned with a number of glass cleaning products available from
your dealer. Your installer can also supply you with appropriate products. However,
never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.
At the end of the heating season, seal off the chimney with a ball of paper. You can
then thoroughly clean the stove on the inside.
If necessary, replace the sealing ropes and use fire cement to fill up possible leaks.
Remove the fire plate for better and more thorough cleaning. Eventually remove the
refractory stones first.
You should have your chimney swept by an expert before the heating season begins.
It is also useful to check the chimney for soot during the heating season and to
check for blockage of the chimney flue prior to re-lighting after a prolonged shut
down period. Checking and maintaining the chimney is a statutory requirement.
When all of the above advice is heeded, you will be able to fully enjoy your stove.
