Operating Instructions and Installation Instructions

The insulating vermiculite or chamotte inner
plates may develop hairline cracks, but this
does not affect their performance adversely.
Cast-iron inner plates last a long time if you
remove frequently the ash that can accumulate
behind them. If accumulated ash behind the
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate will no
longer be able to dissipate the heat to the sur-
roundings and this may cause the plate to warp
or crack.
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
Cleaning the glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen tis-
sue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use appliance again.
Ensure that no stove glass cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
Enamelled stove maintenance
Never clean the appliance while it is still hot. The
most effective way to clean the enamelled surface of
the stove is with a mild green soap and lukewarm
water. Use as little water as possible, rub the surface
dry and prevent the formation of rust. Wire wool or
other abrasives should never be used. Never place a
kettle directly onto an enamelled stove; use a stand to
prevent damage.
Lubrication
Although cast-iron is slightly self-lubricating, you will
still need to lubricate moving parts frequently.
Lubricate the moving parts (such as guide sys-
tems,hinge pins, latches and air slides) with heat
resistant grease that is available in the specialist
trade.
Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched-
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Touching up the enamelled surface
Enamelling is a process carried out by traditional meth-
ods, meaning that it is possible that small colour dif-
ferences and damage may occur. The appliances
undergo a visual inspection in the factory, that is to
say, the inspector looks at the surface for a period of
10 seconds from a distance of 1 metre.
Any damage that does not stand out is regarded as
OK. A special heat-resistant paint is supplied with the
appliance to touch up any minor damage caused dur-
ing transport.
Apply the heat-resistant paint in thin layers and leave
to dry well before using the appliance.
Some enamel colours are temperature-sensitive. It
can happen that the colour changes during use.
The original colour will return after the appliance
has cooled down.
If enamelled surfaces become very hot, hairline
cracks can occur. This is a normal phenomenon
and has no impact on the functioning of the stove.
Ensure that the stove is not overburdened. If it
does become overburdened then the surface
gets very hot possibly resulting in lasting dam-
age to the enamel.
Checking the seal
Check whether the door sealing rope is still in good
condition and works well. The sealing rope is sub-
ject to wear and will need to be replaced over time.
