6. MAINTENANCE
Gaskets and vermiculite panels are parts which need to be replaced
from time to time – depending on how much you use your stove. In some
cases, you may need to replace them every year, while in others,
replacement every second or third year will suffice. As a rule of
thumb, gaskets need to be replaced when it has become flattened and
the door no longer fits tightly against the front of the stove. You
can purchase gaskets – with adhesive – from your local dealer.
The vermiculite panels must be replaced when they have worn thin, or
when cracks – if any – become so wide that you can actually see steel
through them. If the panels are not replaced at such time, they will
lose their capacity to insulate and reflect heat.
Use only authentic spare parts!
Movable and mechanical parts (closing mechanisms, hinges etc) should
be greased once a year with a heat-resistant lubricant.
You should have your stove checked regularly by a qualified
professional to ensure the optimal function of the stove at all
times. Do not modify the insert, since any unauthorized changes to
the design of the stove will also invalidate the stove guarantee and
test results.
Replacing the gasket on the door
1. Remove the gasket from the inside edge of the door and clean the
sealing track (there is no need to remove the door from the
stove).
2. Apply a layer of fire-resistant adhesive to the track where the
old gasket was affixed.
3. Press (while stretching it out) the new gasket into the track.
4. Close the door and let the adhesive set for approx. 1 day before
opening the door again. If the adhesive has not hardened
sufficiently before the door is opened again, the gasket may
fall out.
Replacing the gasket on the glass
1. Open the door.
2. On the inside of the door, in each corner of the glass panel,
there is a fastening that must be loosened so that each fitting
can be turned away from the glass panel.
3. Repeat this procedure for all the fittings and remove the glass
panel.
4. Remove the old strip from the glass panel.
5. Fit a new gasket around the glass panel.
To replace the glass panel, simply reverse the process described
above.
Disoposal of ashes
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible
floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in
