Steel Cooking Plate
DIRECTIONS FOR THE CARE AND PROTECTION OF THE STEEL COOKING
PLATE
The bright polished steel cooking plate was oiled before packing for protection
from corrosion.
First Heating
Before heating for the fi rst time, wipe the corrosion protection off the cooking
plate. Open a window during the fi rst heating, as the corrosion protection pro-
duces an unpleasant but harmless smoke and odour for a short time.
At the same time, a discoloration typical for steel when subjected to heat
occurs on the cooking plate in the region from the hottest area to the edge.
This discoloration will become more uniform every time the cooking plate is
heated again.
Cleaning
The best time to clean the cooking plate is when it is still warm after heating.
It can be cleaned with standard scouring agents in powder or liquid form.
Stubborn baked-on residues can be removed with the cleaning fl eece provided
(caution: pay attention to the direction of the polish lines of the steel cooking
plate; not suitable for glass ceramic surfaces, enamel or plastics).
Afterwards, wipe the cooking plate with a damp cloth and let it dry. This is, of
course, quickest while the stove is still warm. Finally, grease lightly with acid-
free oil (e.g. sewing machine oil, gun oil or margarine). Do not leave any pots
or pans standing on the cold cooking plate as this would lead to rust stains
that are diffi cult to remove.
Protection against corrosion
If the stove is left unused for an extended period of time, it is advisable to
grease the cooking plate with acid-free oil or some margarine after cleaning. It
goes without saying that it should be wiped off the cooking plate again before
the next use.
By following these instructions, you will prevent the formation of rust and the
development of unsightly spots on the cooking plate, and the stove will keep
its good appearance.
Take care that the expansion gaps of the steel cooking plate are always kept
free of deposit build-ups, so that the plate can expand when subjected to heat.
Burned-on food or fuel residues in the gaps can cause the steel cooking plate
Cleaning the glass viewing window of the combustion
chamber
To clean the glass viewing window use gentle cleaning agents (e.g. soapy wa-
ter) and a soft cloth. In adverse weather conditions or as a result of incorrect
operation or the use of unsuitable fuels the inside of the combustion chamber
window may become fogged. For cleaning, please proceed as follows:
• Open the combustion chamber door.
• Lift the window glazing unit up and then carefully remove it downwards.
CAUTION: The glass protrudes at the top.
• The middle glass pane can then be removed upwards.
Assembly
• During assembly the bevelled edge of the reinstalled viewing window pane
must be on the side of the fi xed pane. The bevelled edge indicates the side
with a special IR coating which reduces heat radiation through the viewing
window.
• Reinstall the complete glazing unit in reverse order to the disassembly.
Unhinging the fi rewood storage drawer
In order to pull out the fi rewood storage drawer, loosen the two knurled-head
screws and slide them to the front (1.). Now the drawer can be removed by
lifting it slightly (2.)
To insert the drawer, place it onto the runner and close the drawer to the stop
position (3.). Open the drawer a little (4.), push the knurled-head screws to the
back and screw them tightly (5.).
