Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is
limited to vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also
dust the stove using a dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do
not use water, spirit or any other kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be
cleared of ashes and soot. The hinges and the closing hook must be greased with liquid copper
fat spray (heat-resistant up to °C), see drawing F. Lift the door approx. ½ cm and spray
copper fat onto the hinge leaf.
Service inspection
Your stove should be given a thorough, preventive inspection once every two years. This includes:
• Thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or have softened.
• Checking of heat insulating material and possibly replacement.
• Checking of the bottom/shaking grate.
• Lubricating the hinges and the locking hook with cobber grease (drawing F).
All service checks must be performed by an authorised fitter. Use only original spare parts.
Inside cleaning
Unless the safety fittings for transportation have not already been removed, twist the safety
fittings for transportation o the two hooks by using pliers or a screwdriver. The smoke shelf and
bae plate is to be removed from the stove before cleaning (Drawing D).
• First lift the smoke shelf () out of the steel rail () at the back of the combustion chamber.
Next, lower it beneath the holders () and slide it out.
• Lift each half of the steel smoke plate () o the holder () behind the smoke pipe, and remove
them from the hook () beneath the top plate.
Ashes
The ash pan is best emptied by pulling a waste bag over the pan, tipping it and then carefully
pulling it out of the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic waste collection.
Please note that there may be embers in the ashes for up to hours after the fire has gone out!
Insulation
The ecient, but porous insulation of the combustion chamber may, in time, be worn and dam
-
aged. Cracks in the insulation are irrelevant to the eciency of the stove. However, it should
be replaced, if there are actual holes due to parts of the lining falling o or when, due to wear
and tear, it has been reduced to less than half its original thickness.
Door/glass
A sooty glass door can easily be cleaned with a piece of moist kitchen roll dipped in ash. Go
about it in vertical movements (up and down). Follow up with a dry piece of kitchen roll.
Seals
Check frequently to ensure that seals in the door and ash pan are intact and not brittle. Failing
this, they should be replaced. Use original seals only.
