on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is
better to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low-intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Control the air supply using the air vent in the
door.
The air supply via the air slider not only sup-
plies air to the fire but to the glass as well, so
that it does not get dirty so quickly.
Always open the door carefully.
Close the door immediately after adding fuel.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful
substances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye
on the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be
closed once the fire has died completely.
Removing ash
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulating
layer for the stove base plate and improves combus-
tion. It is a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on
the stove base plate (not higher than the bottom of
the bottom-most pane of the SAGA 107 model).
Remove any excess ash frequently (about once
every three times of use).
You can remove the excess ash with the aid of a
small shovel or ash vacuum cleaner.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through
the flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If
it is not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the
stove in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix ‘Diagnostic diagram’ to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot.
Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the appliance interior thoroughly at
the end of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the cast-iron inner
plates. See the chapter ‘Installation’ for instruc-
tions on removing and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Inspecting cast-iron inner plates
The cast-iron inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear-and-tear. Check the fire-resistant
inner plates frequently and replace them when neces-
sary.
See the chapter ‘Placing vermiculite stones into
the appliance’ for instructions on removing and
installing inner plates.
Never use the appliance without the cast-iron
inner plates.
Cleaning front glass
Side glass panes (only model SAGA 107)
With the SAGA 107 model it is normal for the side
glass panes to turn black a little bit. These side glass
panes do not require cleaning. A moderate air flow
