Stoking During Spring Time and Autumn:
At outdoor temperatures of more than 15°C, the stove may be under fired, and a so-called "cold" combustion
will take place. The result will be an increasing formation of soot in the smoke ducts of the stove, the chimney
connector, and in the chimney. To avoid the soot build-up, we recommend that you clean the smoke ducts more
frequently and increase the supply of combustion air. Small pieces of wood should be used, and fuel should be
added more frequently.
Cleaning:
Be careful when you remove ash from the stove. There may be embers left as long as 24 hours after the stove
was last used. We recommend that you use an original ash bin (accessory). The ash may, when it is cold, be
placed in a garbage bag.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
The stove is cleaned with a moist cloth. Spray lacquer is available for repair of possible damages/scratches. Your
dealer has the right spray in the right colour. As there may be minor colour differences, it is recommended to
repair larger areas with natural borders. You will get the best result if the stove is repaired while it is warm
(remember a good airing during the repair). A possible change of colour to grey is caused by over-firing, i.e. you
have used more wood than recommended.
Soap Stone:
The soapstones are cleaned with fine sandpaper or a dry sponge.
Cleaning of Glass:
By burning wet wood or lighting with closed dampers, the doors may become more or less sooty. The glasses are
however easily cleaned by use of a special cleaning fluid that is available at your dealer.
Or as follows: Dip a moist cloth or old newspaper in the ashes and use this to clean the glass.
Attention! The humid ashes should not get into contact with your skin! Wipe with a dry cloth. The ceramic door
joint must not get wet.
Ceramic Packing Cord:
All ANDERSEN stoves are equipped with ceramic packing cord to ensure the tightness of the doors and the
glasses. This packing cord is a wearing part and must be changed from time to time. Please consult your
authorised dealer in this case.
TROUBLE SHOOTING
Smoke:
The wood burns too fast:
GB
•
Insufficient chimney draught!
•
Check if the chimney has the right dimension.
•
Check if the smoke pipe or chimney is blocked.
•
Check if the chimney has the right height compared to the surroundings.
•
If the above is OK, the chimney draught may be increased by decreasing
the smoke deflector plate (max. 2 cm at a time).
•
Are the air valves adjusted correctly according to the instructions?
•
Is the smoke deflector plate placed correctly?
