6 Maintenance

6.1 Keeping clean panes

To keep the panes clean:
•
Only burn dry wood (with a moisture level of approximately
15% and stored dry and chopped for 2 years).
•
Open the air supply completely (100%).
•
Open the damper completely (if present).
•
Ensure the flue has a minimum draught of 12 Pa.
COMMENTS:
•
The risk of soot building up on the glass panel during
combustion is higher with a rear panel of steel slats than
with a vermiculite rear panel.
•
Due to the smaller surface area of vermiculite in the two-
sided (tunnel) Kalfire W80/52T and W105/47T, the risk of
soot build-up on the glass panel is higher.

6.2 Cleaning the pane

Kalfire front and tunnel models
Before cleaning the glass, allow it to cool down completely to
prevent any damage.
The fireplace has a handle which opens the window. The handle is
in the middle, immediately above the window.

1. Move the handle all the way from right to left (180 degrees)
in one smooth movement.
2. The window is now released.
3. Carefully tilt the window forwards, using the small hole in
the top right-hand corner
of the window. The window
remains open at an angle of
approximately 45 degrees.
4. Use a cloth or piece of paper
to remove the worst soiling
from the glass.
5. Spray the cleaning agent onto
a cloth or piece of paper and
wipe the glass clean. Never
spray the cleaning agent
directly onto the glass.
6. Wipe the window with a damp cloth to remove the
cleaning agent. The deposits will automatically fall into the
combustion chamber due to the tilted position of the door.
The area in front of the fireplace will remain clean.
