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 K. 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.
• Check the spring in the HWAM
®
Autopilot™ unit and replace if necessary.
• 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 K).
All service checks must be performed by an authorised fitter. Use only original spare parts.
Inside cleaning
Before chimney sweeping can be performed, the air control knob must be set to its minimum
position to prevent soot and ash from entering the HWAM
®
Autopilot™. 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 F).
• 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 24 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.

Autopilot™ (Drawing G)
Remove the top plate. Loosen and remove the bolt that holds the two sides together. Loosen the
bolt that holds the left side in position slightly, but do not remove it. Lift the left side about mm
and pull it away from the stove so that it is lifted free of the guide pins in the bottom plate of the
stove. Repeat with the right side. Loosen and remove the Allen bolts behind the heat shield. Lift
the heat shield slightly and pull it away from the stove.
