4.3. Sweeping
Hatches in the stone area of the heater are soot hatches (covered with a lid).
Inner parts of the heater are cleaned through the holes covered with a lid 2 to 6 times a year
according to use.
If the heater has a flue leaving from the top of the heater, soot can drop on the heater from the
flue, and must be removed through the soot hatch at the back of the space intended for stones.

hatches for cleaning.
Soot hatches open when they are lifted upward.
