Firebox maintenance
The glass may become sooty with use, even if the fireplace is
lit with dry wood with a moisture content of 15 – 20%. Regular
cleaning with dry paper is usually sufficient to keep it clean. If the
soot has been on the glass for a prolonged period, use a cleaning
agent or a special soot removal agent to remove it. Such agents
can be purchased from regular hardware stores or from your
local fireplace dealer. Never use cleaning agents that contain any
abrasives, these can damage the glass.
When the ash level in the ash box has reached the square holes,
empty the ash box. When emptying the ash box, ensure that
there are no glowing embers. Lift the grate and fold it back (see
the illustration). The ash-pan can then be lifted straight up. The
ash must be stored in a fireproof container with a lid for at least
one week before being disposed of. The grate and other cast iron
components can be cleaned using a wire brush.
It is important from a combustion point of view to check gaskets,
as worn gaskets hinder combustion when the fireplace draws ”extra
air”.
Painted parts of the fireplace can be cleaned using a damp cloth,
with a small amount of detergent, if necessary.
As there is a constant large flow of air through the fireplace’s
surround, cold room air is drawn in and hot air released, dust can
collect in the surround’s air intakes. Therefore, these should be
regularly cleaned.
Parts located near the actual seat of the fire may require replacing.
Examples of such parts are the firebox panels and grate. The service
life of these parts depends on how much and how the fireplace is
used.
