Fall wind may give the opposite effect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy
air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long flue pipe with a rough inside and many
bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor your installer can give you information about
using a ventilator for your flue tube.
What to do in case of chimney fire
!
In case of chimney fire, immediately close the shut-off valve in the chimney and all air supply ducts.
Call the fire department. After the fire is extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be inspected
again by your installer.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three centimetres. It will protect the fire plate.
Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give off fluff. Do not use any aggressive
cleansing agents or abrasives.
Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass
with your fingers. Finger marks burn into the glass.
Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.
!
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove.

When the stove is not used

Close all doors and air inlets in summer season
Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a humid space.

Yearly maintenance

Have your chimney properly cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons
and any fire insurance.
Have the flue gas outlet and the combustion air supply of the double-walled flue tube system checked for
air-tightness every year.
Have the complete tube system checked every year; this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just
outside the wall.
Have the valves and/or flaps checked for their functioning.
Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for wear and tear.

Safety

A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home.
Fire safety starts with a proper installation and a properly working flue tube. Your installer must therefore
comply with the installation instructions as listed on page 24 and further. To burn your stove safely, the
following points are important:
1. Burn your stove as much as possible with a closed door; it increases the output and is better for the
environment.
2. Prevent small children or the infirm from getting too close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone
in the room when the stove is burning. You could use a fire-screen.
3. Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials in the stove, as it may damage the fireplace beyond
repair.
4. If the floor around the fireplace is made of combustible material you must use a floor slab. The floor slab
