8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Basic information

Note
When you vacuum clean around the stove ensure that you do not
vacuum into the combustion air intake during heating operation�
You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Your stove must be cooled before any maintenance work is
performed�
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the
maintenance intervals depend on the fuel you use� High moisture
content, ash, dust and chips may more than double the maintenance
required� Only use wood that has been stored properly and is dry
and untreated�
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers�
FIRE RISK! In a cold state, dispose it of in the household waste�

Cleaning the door glass

(If necessary)
The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth� Stubborn dirt can
be removed with a special cleaner (free from corrosive acids and
solvents - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the glass surface)
available from your stove dealer� Usual cleaners containing acid or
solvents can be too harsh and damage the glass�
Note
Ash residue can also form between the two panes� To clean these,
dismantle the 4 glass holders and remove the glass�

Clean combustion chamber

Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE
RISK!
The combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to
ensure an adequate supply of air� If you remove the grate, you can
sweep the ashes with a broom in the ash tray� You can also use an
ash vacuum cleaner�

Empty ash drawer

Empty the ash pan regularly� Lift away the floor grate with the grate
hook included in the scope of delivery and remove the ash pan�
