Access to the most important
components
Access to a number of internal components of the
stove is required to perform annual maintenance.
1. Open the door; see the "Installation" chapter for
instructions.
2. Remove the decorative wood block set from the
stove.
The pilot and thermocouple can now be reached for
maintenance or possible replacement.
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.
Cleaning the glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen tis-
sue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use appliance again.
Ensure that no stove glass cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
Enamelled stove maintenance
Never clean the appliance if it is still warm. The most
effective way to clean the enamelled surface of the
stove is with a mild green soap and lukewarm water.
Use as little water as possible, rub the surface dry and
prevent the formation of rust. Wire wool or other abras-
ives should never be used. Never place a kettle dir-
ectly onto an enamelled stove; use a stand to prevent
damage. Attention: Do not allow aggressive acidic
products to get onto enamelled components.
Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Touching up the enamelled surface
Enamelling is a process carried out by traditional meth-
ods, meaning that it is possible that small colour dif-
ferences and damage may occur. The appliances
undergo a visual inspection in the factory, that is to
say, the inspector looks at the surface for a period of
10 seconds from a distance of 1 metre.
Any damage that does not stand out is regarded as
OK. A special heat-resistant paint is supplied with the
appliance to touch up any minor damage caused dur-
ing transport.
Apply the heat-resistant paint in thin layers and leave
to dry well before using the appliance.
Some enamel colours are temperature-sensitive. It
can happen that the colour changes during use.
The original colour will return after the appliance
has cooled down.
If enamelled surfaces become very hot, hairline
cracks can occur. This is a normal phenomenon
and has no impact on the functioning of the stove.
Ensure that the stove is not overburdened. If it
does become overburdened then the surface
gets very hot, possibly resulting in lasting dam-
age to the enamel.
Checking the seal
Check whether the glass pane sealing rope is still in
good condition and working well. The sealing rope is
subject to wear and will need to be replaced in time.
