Cleaning and care
-----------------------------------------------------------
When cleaning, proceed as follows:
When dispatched the polished
hotplate (optional)
is
sealed with corrosion protection which burns without
damaging residues when first subjected to heat.
With startup, which should be carried out with
moderate heat, your hotplate will change colour from
an initial light yellow to dark brown. This process is
completely normal and is not a reason for a
complaint. Thereafter it is up to you to maintain the
hotplate with an even dark colour. Substances suited
to this purpose are available from the specialist trade.
So for instance acid-free oil (sewing machine oil) can
also be rubbed evenly into the surface by means of
a cleaning cloth when it has cooled down. If you
wish to accelerate even darkening of the surface,
then you can use commercially available blacking.
Remove cooking spillages carefully with a scraping
tool. Ensure that the expansion joints remain free
from encrustations so as to prevent the hotplate from
warping.
Do not clean the painted hotplate before it is started
up for the first time! The hotplate has been sprayed
and provided with a highly heat-resistant special
paint whose metal pigments bond with the metal on
first startup of the stove thanks to the temperature
effect on the hotplate.
No scouring agents or abrasive objects
should be used for regular cleaning. We recommend
soap suds for regular care.
Remove the exhaust gas pipe and clean it in
the open air. Brush out the connection opening
before reconnecting.
Brush deposits from the top of the oven via
the side flue shaft to the double flue plate under the
oven.
Carefully scrape down the side walls of the
combustion compartment with the soot scraper.
Brush out the side or back exhaust gas pipe
connection.
Reattach the hotplate and reconnect the
exhaust gas pipe.
Open the cleaning door under the oven and
clean the underside of the oven with the soot
scraper. Then remove the soot from the double flue
plate and the base of the stove with the soot scraper.
To collect the dirt, pull out the ember collection tray
and then empty it.
Only clean the outer
enamel surfaces
with clean
water and when the stove is cold. With heavy soiling
use soap suds. Then rub the surfaces dry.
It is best and most environmentally friendly to
remove dirt from the viewing window pane with a
pan cleaner moistened with water dipped in wood
ash or other commercially available glass cleaners.

Advice: You will avoid unnecessary dust emissions when cleaning if all other openings apart from the
stove opening through which you are cleaning remain closed.
