ASHTRAY
Empty the ashtray as required. It must only be
removed from the fire, when the fire is switched off
and cooled down.
WOOD ASH AS A FERTLISER
Wood mineral percentages (approx. 1 - 2%) remain
as combustion remains as ash in the combustion
chamber. This ash is natural product and is an
excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden.
However the ash should be aged first and
"quenched" with water.
Please TAKE CARE: Embers can be hidden in the ash -
only fill into metal containers.
Vacuuming using the RIKA ashbox is recommended
to remove the ash.
GLASS CLEANING
The viewing window becomes coated in the case of
solid fuels, particularly with the very fine ash of
wood pellets, light or dark depending on the pellet
quality (especially with low output). The glass can
be cleaned best with a moist cloth. Stubborn dirt can
be removed with a special cleaner available from
your stove dealer.
Note:
The glass in the door can be cleaned by using a
special glass cleaner (free from corrosive acids and
solvents - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the
glass surface and/or inscription).
monthly!
FLUE GAS OUTLETS
(if used frequently) Remove the upper and lower
flue plate for the rear wall and vacuum the flue ash
that has collected there out of the flue gas outlets
that are now laid bare.
monthly!
FLUE GAS BOX
Clean the flue gas box that sits behind the heat
exchangers in the same way. To do this the right
hand rear cladding is removed and the cleaning lid
(see Fig. 3, Part 8) unscrewed.
If the outlet openings are blocked, then these must
be freed and vacuumed (if required).
