Una�ended fires
Many fires have happened by having a stove on and
una�ended for a long period of �me. These fires
usually occur because there are combus�ble materials
near the stove, they heat up more than normal when the
stove fire is oversized. The intensity of the fire depends
on several factors.
One of these factors is air. Usually increasing the air
increases the fire. In the same way that if we increase
the intensity of the fire, the air will also increase.
The air can also be affected by external factors such as
wind, outside temperature, air currents ... if one of
these factors changes, the air in the stove will increase.
This will cause temperatures to rise dangerously, which
can cause nearby combus�ble materials to ignite.
Closing the air control bu�on will not ensure that this
cannot happen. You must exercise extreme cau�on if
the fire is le� una�ended.
Procedure to follow in case of a chimney fire
A. Prepare to evacuate to ensure everyone’s
safety. Have a well-understood plan of ac�on
for evacua�on. Have a place outside where
everyone is to meet
B. Close all the air controls on the stove.
C. Call the fire department. Have a fire
ex�nguisher handy.
D. A�er the chimney fire is out, the chimney must
be cleaned and checked for stress and cracks
before re-use. Also check combus�bles around
the chimney and the roof.
Contact your local municipal or provincial fire authority
for more informa�on on how to handle a chimney fire.
It is extremely important to have a clear plan on how to
handle a chimney fire.
5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: DO NOT CLEAN STOVE WHILE HOT.
Always keep the area around the unit clean and clear of
furniture and other objects. Keep all furniture and
drapery a minimum of one metre from the stove. Clean
the stoves surface using light strokes of a real bristle
paint brush. Stoves with a cast black finish should never
be cleaned with a cloth as the texture of the paint will
abrade and collect lint from the cloth which will be
almost impossible to remove. Stoves with an enamel
finish should be cleaned with a damp cloth, or very
gentle use of a cleaner recommended for enamel
finishes. In case of condensa�on, clean the affected
areas before they dry.
Inspect the en�re unit frequently for proper opera�on,
fit and soundness of parts. If any malfunc�oning,
cracked, broken, or loose parts or other problems are
noted, contact your dealer or qualified serviceman to
inspect and repair the unit.
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT
IF INSTALLED OR FUNCTIONING IMPROPERLY.
Seals
Check the fit and seal of the doors and ashpan door
frequently. For proper opera�on an air�ght seal must be
maintained around these openings. If the seal is not
�ght, inspect the gasket. If the gasket needs
replacement, contact your dealer. If the gasket is in
good condi�on, check the closure latch screws; if these
are loose, adjust the door handle (Fig. 26).
Glass
Your stove is fi�ed with 4 mm ceramic glass. Properly
operated, your glass door will not get coated with thick
tar like conven�onal stoves. If this does occur, you may
have to resort to using a glass cleaner. However, by
using dry wood, much of the tar on the glass will burn
clean, when the appliance is run at high temperature.
Clean the ceramic glass when cold, using commercial
products sold for this purpose, or warm water with a
drop of vinegar.
The glass used in your stove is ceramic, which can only
be broken due to a strong blow or a bad use. Inspect the
glass regularly. If it detects that it is damaged, replace
the glass using a new glass kit immediately.
