The stove must be completely cold before being cleaned. The outside should be cleaned using a dry cloth. The
inside of the stove should be cleaned once a year. To clean the inside, remove all ash, soot and tar residue from
the combustion chamber. The smoke plate should be removed as dirt and soot will collect behind it. The packing
cord in the door will wear over time and should therefore be checked.
The stove, the flue pipe connection and the chimney should be checked regularly by a qualified engineer. The
chimney should also be checked for blockages before relighting the stove if it has not been used for an extended
period of time.
The lacquer may wear thin in exposed places due to overheating. This, and other lacquer damage, may be
repaired using a special senotherm lacquer spray available at all stove outlets.
The combustion chamber is lined with Skamol. These panels will wear over time and will therefore need
replacing. The same is true for the smoke plate.
A Skamol panel may crack if hit too hard by a piece of firewood. This has no effect on the function of the stove
(this is not the case with the smoke plate). The Skamol panels will only need to be replaced once they become
very worn and are no longer whole, or if they crack in several places.
The air damper and the stove door must be closed in the event of overheating.
OPerating PrOBLeMs
Soot forms on the window: The firewood may be too wet, or the intake of secondary air may be insufficient.
The wood burns too quickly: The chimney draft may be too strong, or there may be a leak near the door of the stove.
The stove fails to heat fully: The firewood may be too wet.
Smoke or odour: Weak chimney draft – check for blockages in the flue pipe/chimney and check the height of the
chimney in relation to the surroundings.
Soot in the chimney: The firewood may be too wet, or the intake of secondary air may be insufficient.
