Closing the fire compartment door:
1. Gently close the fire compartment door, lifting the door slightly and press-
ing against the fixed glass element.
2. Lock the top and bottom door catches, by hand or using the "cold hand".
Remove the "cold hand". Important: First close the top catch, then the
bottom one.
3. Twist back the sliding rail catches above the door up to their end stop.
Attention: Open and close the doors only by their frames! Never apply
pressure to the glass panes. (Risk of breaking!)
5. SERVICING AND CARE
ATTENTION! Never clean your fireplace system when it is hot or even warm.
5.1 RATING PLATE
The rating plate of the fireplace can be found underneath the ash box or
ash pan. The rating plate contains technical data and information. The rating
plate must not be removed, as it is proof that the stove has been tested and
it is needed for acceptance and for the annual inspections by the chimney
sweep.
5.2 ASH TRAY AND ASH GRID
• Clean and empty the ash grid and ash tray at regular intervals, depend-
ing on your frequency of use. ATTENTION! Ash may contain glowing
embers for up to 24 hours.
• The ash pile in the ash tray must not touch or close the slits in the ash
grid.
• Always place the ash grid in the recess in the fire compartment floor
with the SPARTHERM imprint facing downward.
5.3 GLASS PANE
Your pane remains free of soot for longer if
• you use dry wood ("2.1.2 Types of wood" on page 5)
• you control the combustion air to match the burning process ("3. Burn-
ing" on page 6)
• you maintain your combustion temperature is as high as possible
• the chimney draft is correct
• wood replenishment is optimal for operation
Gradual sooting of the glass pane is quite normal and does not warrant
a claim. Clean the inside of the pane regularly using the glass cleaner
supplied, to prevent soot particles from burning into the pane (after approx.
8 – 12 operating hours).
5.4 CLEANING AND CARE
Clean the fireplace, heating gas flue and waste gas flue regularly. In par-
ticular, ensure that the chimney is not blocked after extended periods of
non-use.
Refer to the table opposite for further conditions.
