Before starting executing maintenance or cleaning make sure the fire
has extinguished completely and that any hot surfaces are cooled down
sufficiently.
• Failing to observe the maintenance procedures can result in personal
injuries, operating malfunctions and irreparable damage to the stove and
building.
• The flue/chimney must be kept clean at all times as soot deposits or not
burnt residues may reduce its opening. Culmination of soot deposits or
residues might even catch fire leading to dangerous situations.
• Have the chimney cleaned and swept by an authorised specialist
following the local legislation and/or your insurance company
prescription. In absence of such local legislation and/or insurance
prescription: make sure that at least twice per year (first time at the
beginning of the heating season), your entire stove system -including
chimney- is checked and maintained by an authorized specialist. When
intensively using the stove the whole system including the chimney must
be cleaned more frequently.
