Types of fuel
The stove may be damaged by very high temperatures and the glass may turn white, for example. This
can be avoided by never allowing the stove to burn with the door open and taking great care with types
of fuel that develop excessive heat, such as briquettes.
We recommend using birch or beechwood, which has been split and stored for at least one year outdoors
under cover. Wood stored indoors tends to become too dry and burn too quickly.
Briquettes give off a lot of heat. Certain types expand considerably, thus causing an uncontrollable combustion.
The stove is EN 13240 approved for ring wood only. No particle board, lacquered, painted
or treated wood, plastics, or rubber may be burned.

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 1100°C), see drawing I. 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 the spring in the Autopilot unit. Replace if necessary.
• Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or are no longer soft.
• Checking and/or replacing insulation material.
• Checking the combustion chamber base.
• Use copper grease for hinges and locking hooks (see drawing I).
All service checks must be performed by an authorised tter. Use only original spare parts.
Inside cleaning
Before chimney sweeping can be performed, the regulator must be set to its minimum position to prevent
soot and ash from entering the Autopilot control.
Remove the top smoke shelf and the two-part steel smoke guide plate from the stove before cleaning.
(Drawing F)
• Lift the smoke shelf (1) out of the combustion chamber.
• Unhook each half of the smoke guide plate (2) from the hook (3) under the top plate.
Ashes
It is easiest to empty the ash pan by pulling a plastic bag over it, turning it upside down and then carefully
removing it from 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 re has
gone out!
Insulation
The efcient, but porous insulation of the combustion chamber may, in time, become worn and damaged.
