7 Maintenance

7.1 General instructions

•
do not use steel brushes to clean a stainless steel flue duct.
remove the baffle plate before sweeping to remove the
soot and to ensure that the plate is not obstructing the
passage during sweeping.
•
Clean the space under the fireplace via the convection
grates at the base. a lot of dust can easily collect here,
conveyed by the convection current.
•
Make sure the cord in the lower frame is free of
ash and soiling.
•
if the cords no longer seal properly, they can be replaced.
Contact your Kalfire dealer for assistance.
•
Treat the chain in the lifting door system each year, by
spraying it with Kalfire lubrication.
•
The panel is made from special ceramic glass. This should
not be placed in the bottle bank. Ceramic glass does not
melt in the glass oven, so it will cause problems in the glass
oven. Your ceramic glass should be returned to your council
waste tip so it can be recycled appropriately.
•
only use Kalfire spare parts as replacement parts (if
necessary). These parts can be obtained from your Kalfire
dealer.

7.2 Maintenance frequency

The wood burning fireplace should be inspected annually for
optimal, sustainable and safe use. Malfunctions to the wood
burning fireplace must be fixed instantly. inform your client about
the possibilities of a maintenance contract.
7.3 Before and during the heating season
as time passes, tarnish can form on the inside of the glass. This
can be removed by using a moist cloth or non-scratching cleaning
detergent (ceramic glass cleaner). do not use corrosive or
abrasive substances for cleaning the fireplace. damage to enamel
is not included in the warranty. small damaged can be removed
by using heat-resistant enamel. This enamel is available at Kalfire.

7.4 Keeping clean glass panes

•
in the case of an interior with steel slats or a design, the risk
of soiling the glass pane is greater than with the standard
(skamol) plates.
•
The Kalfire w80/52T, w105/47T and w53/50r models, as a
result of the relatively small surface skamol plates (which
provide the reflection), have a greater chance of dirtying
their glass pane.
•
only burn dry wood.
•
open the secondary air regulation completely.
•
open the damper (if present) completely open.
•
ensure the flue has a minimum draught of 12 pa.

7.4.1 Cleaning ceramic panels

The first time it is used, afterwards as well, the glass of a wood-
burning fireplace can become dirty. potential causes can be:
smoking materials in the fireplace (especially in the beginning),
air contamination, quality of the wood, etc.
•
filth or stains on the glass must be removed immediately.
•
never use the fireplace if the glass is filthy or stained. This
can lead to permanent and non-removable contamination.
•
Clean the glass after the burning a fire for the first time and
preferably after each use of the fireplace.
•
use scratch-free cleaning substances only.
