before it is stored indoors. It is recommended that kindling wood is stored indoors for a couple of

Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is limited to
vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also dust the stove using a
dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do not use water, spirit or any other
kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be cleared of
ashes and soot.
The hinges and the closing hook must be greased with liquid copper fat spray (heat-resistant up to 1100
degrees Celsius), see drawing G. Lift the door approx. ½ cm and spray copper fat onto the hinge leaf.
Service inspection
Your stove should be given a thorough, preventive inspection once every two years. This includes:
• Thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or are no longer soft.
• Checking and/or replacing insulation material.
• Checking the combustion chamber base.
• Use copper grease for hinges and locking hooks (see drawing G).
All service checks must be performed by an authorised tter. Use only original spare parts
Inside cleaning
Remove the top smoke shelf and the two-part steel smoke guide plate from the stove before cleaning
(Drawing E):
• Lift the smoke shelf (1) out of the combustion chamber.
• Unhook each half of the smoke guide plate (2) from the hook (3) under the top plate.
Ashes
It is easiest to empty the ash pan by pulling a plastic bag over it, turning it upside down and then carefully
removing it from the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic waste collection.
Please note that there may be embers in the ashes for up to 24 hours after the re has gone out!
Insulation
The efcient, but porous insulation of the combustion chamber may, in time, become worn and damaged.
Cracks in the insulation have no effect on the efciency of the stove. The insulation should be replaced,
however, when it is reduced to less than half the original thickness due to wear and tear.
Door/glass
A sooty glass door can easily be cleaned with a piece of moist kitchen roll dipped in ash. Go about it in
vertical movements (up and down). Follow up with a dry piece of kitchen roll. Check frequently to ensure
that seals in the door are intact and not brittle. Failing this, they should be replaced. Use original seals only.
Surface
The surface normally requires no treatment. Any damage to the coating may be remedied using a Senotherm spray.
Guarantee
The guarantee does not cover damage due to insufcient maintenance!
