5.4 Cleaning and maintenance
The stove can be cleaned only when it is cold.
Pay attention while cleaning your stove not to damage, scratch or break essential parts.
For cleaning steel parts use non-abrasive detergents and a soft rag, and after cleaning
wash it well to avoid the deposit of detergent which can damage material.
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 to
use detergents that are sold in stores, and that are intended for that use.
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.
It is important to have the chimney regularly checked and cleaned by a qualified chimney
sweep.
It is not possible to sweep through the firebox of the stove. If it is connected via a rear flue,
the flue should be swept though the tee, ensuring that the area above the baffle in the
firebox is also cleaned through the top flue blanking plate.
When using a top entry flue outlet, sweeping access should be provided in the first length
of flue pipe. Alternative sweeping access can be gained if there is sufficient access behind
the stove:
Remove the rear panel
Remove rear flue blanking plate
In the case of chimney fire
If the wrong or unseasoned wood is used, it is possible that a chimney fire can occur due
to the accumulation of deposits inside the chimney.
Immediately close all air regulators on the stove and call the fire brigade.
If a chimney fire was to occur, an experienced professional should be employed to check
the entire flue system.
