6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
At least once a year (when necessary more often) the stove should be cleaned and
maintained in cold condition (once every 2 months when using coal). The
efficiency increases as much as you clean. Wastes adhering to the stove and the
stove pipe should be cleaned with a brush. Fireplace glass can be cleaned with a
wet sponge and ordinary glass cleaning material can be used or the flame itself can
clean the glass in efficient chimneys. Besides, the chimney should be cleaned once a
year. We advise you to get the cleaning done by an authorized person.
The surface of the stove should not be cleaned with scratching and harmful
cleaning material because otherwise the paint surface may be damaged.
