i. Cleaning the combustion chamber and firebrick lining
For cleaning steel parts use non-abrasive detergents and a soft rag and, after cleaning,
clean it damp rag to avoid the deposit of detergent which can damage material. Dry off the
stove afterwards
After washing, wipe over with clean water and if there are condensates, do not wait until
they are dried, rather wipe them immediately.
Attention, the stove paint only achieves its ultimate strength after reaching its rated
temperature a few times. To avoid damaging the paint, it is recommended to clean the
stove surface only when the paint achieves its ultimate hardness.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is cold, using normal detergent for
washing the glass. In the case of solid deposits that should be removed, we recommend
using a stove glass cleaner.
It is important to have the chimney regularly checked and cleaned by a qualified chimney
sweep.
The combustion chamber, baffle and heat exchangers above the combustion chamber
must be examined for deposits at regular intervals and, if necessary, cleaned. Use a hand
brush or an ash vacuum cleaner to remove the debris. Check for blockages inside the
stove and chimney at the beginning of the heating season, clean the stove and sweep the
chimney once in the middle of the season, and then clean and sweep at the end of the
season. Heavy use of the stove may require more frequent chimney sweeping and
cleaning in the stove. Before each heating season check the chimney and flue for any
blockages. The stove should be serviced annually by a specialist.
The heat exchanger tubes will also need cleaning and can be reached by taking the baffle
deflector plate out of the stove. Make sure it is re-positioned correctly.
A woodburning stove burns best with an ash bed. It is therefore not necessary to remove
all the ash from the base of stove after each burn – but the grate and ashpan should be
clear to allow air to flow to the fire from below, and to stop the grate becoming too hot.
The viewing window is easiest to clean with a commercially available glass cleaner, then
wipe it with a dry cloth. Make sure that the fire rope does not get wet and that no scratches
are made in the glass. Any damage due to improper cleaning is not covered by the
warranty.
