21. Cleaning and Maintenance
21.1 Steel Cladding
Hase stoves are coated with a heat-resistant open porous lacquer that provides only limited
corrosion protection; accordingly, a rust fi lm may develop in some cases.
Do not use any detergents containing acid (e.g. citrus or vinegar cleaners) to
clean the steel parts. The steel parts can be suffi ciently cleaned by wiping them
down with a slightly moistened cloth.
Avoid using excessive water to clean the fl oor/fl oor plate areas.
Spilt water from kettles, boilers or water tanks should be immediately mopped
up.
Do not install the Toronto in „damp rooms“, e.g. conservatories or enclosed
porches. Avoid temporary storage in unheated building shells or garages.
Treat areas covered in a rust fi lm with the original Hase Stove Lacquer Spray. Be
sure and follow the instructions on the spray can. Your authorised HASE specialist
dealer stocks the stove lacquer spray and can give you tips on using it.
21.2 Locking the Fire Box Door for Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean the fi re box window, raise the fi re box door until it latches. Use the provided key
to unlock the fi re box door lock (Fig. 6). Slightly lift the fi re box door and swing it to the
left for the cleaning operation (Fig. 7). Close and lock the fi re box door after completing
the cleaning.
Please note: The Toronto may only be operated when the fi re box door
is closed.

21.3 Flue Gas Paths
The stove and fl ue pipes should be inspected for sediment and deposits at the end of each
year‘s heating period (even more often if required, e.g. after the chimney has been clea-
ned), and cleaned if necessary. To clean the fl ue gas paths, lift out the upper heat-resisting
stone from the fi re box and the steel defl ector plate located above it. Any soot or dust se-
diment/deposits can be brushed off and vacuumed away. Then re-insert the heat-resisting
stone and the defl ector plate.
Use a fl exible pipe brush to clean the fl ue pipe at the cleaning port located on the fl ue
pipe.
