Cleaning The Grate; Maintenance - Kalfire W Series Installation And User Manual

To close the door again, tilt it back and turn the key to the right.
The fireplace will be hermetically sealed again by the three-point
closure.
− Ensure that no detergent fluids makes contact with the
sealing cords. This will damage the cords!
− Remove persistent soiling by dipping a damp cloth into the
ash. Rub the glass with the cloth.
− Do not use detergents that contain ammonia. Ammonia
will damage the sealing cords.
− Ensure that no glowing particles come into contact with
the sealing cord. These will damage the cords.

6.3 Cleaning the grate

Your Kalfire W is suitable for burning dry wood, which burns best
in its own ashes. This combustion leaves very little residual ash
(approx. 3 g per kg wood).
Be careful when you remove the ashes, as they can still
glow, even after 24 hours. Never use a vacuum cleaner
without special accessories, like the ash-clean.
Make sure that the level of ash does not rise above the
spoiler. The spoiler is situated in the frame and ensures
correct ignition of the wood. The opening of the air gauge
must never be obstructed or blocked.
The lower sealing cord must be free of ash, so that the glass
is able to lay against the sealing cord.
TIP: Ash consists largely of minerals, which can be used as a
fertiliser in the garden.

6.4 Maintenance

1. The enamelled parts of the Kalfire W can be cleaned using
a lint-free damp cloth. Repair enamel and spray cans can
be obtained from your dealer, if the enamel becomes
damaged.
2. The flue/chimney should be inspected and swept at least
once every year. Do not use steel brushes on a stainless
steel flue duct. Remove the baffle plate before sweeping to
remove the soot and to ensure the plate is not obstructing
the passage during sweeping.
3. Clean the space underneath the fireplace via the convection
gratings at the base. Dust can easily collect here, conveyed
by the convection current.
4. Make sure the cord in the lower frame is free of ash and
soiling.
5. If the cords no longer seal properly, they can be replaced.
Contact your dealer for assistance.
6. Treat the chain in the lifting door system each year, by
spraying it with Kal-fire lubrication.
The pane is made from special ceramic glass. This
should not be placed in the bottle bank (recycling
glass). Ceramic glass does not melt in the glass
oven and will therefore cause problems in the glass
oven. Your ceramic glass should be returned to
your council waste tip so that it can be recycled
appropriately.
Only use Kalfire spare parts as replacement parts (if necessary).
These parts can be obtained from your trade dealer.
