firebox door and lift the ash grate, which lies under the ash
drawer, and brush the ash into the ash pan. Then flip open
the lower stove casing by lightly pressing at a medium height
on the right hand side against the fastener. The ash pan can
now be removed. After removing the ash pan using the handle,
the ash can then be easily disposed of. After cleaning, insert
the ash pan again, close the outer casing and reinsert the ash
grate. Finally, dispose of the ash in the correct manner.

Regularly remove dust from above and below the stove during the
heating season because the dust particles can burn or char. This
can lead to soiling of the installation room and the furniture within
or to odour problems.

6.2 FIREBOX LINING

In the start-up phase, it is normal that the lining is covered in a dark
layer. Once the operating temperature has been achieved, this layer on
the firebox lining will have been burnt away. Cracks are not a reason for
making a complaint. The lining is subject to very high levels of stress.
An expansion or contraction crack is not serious and does not repre-
sent any functional defect. However, firebox lining parts that are broken
and have moved position should be replaced. If spare fireclay lining
parts are required, these can be ordered from your fireplace fitter.

6.3 CHIMNEY FIRE

When burning wood (especially softwood), sparks can often be
transferred from the fireplace to the chimney. These sparks can set
light to the layer of soot in the chimney (this only occurs rarely if
the chimney has been regularly cleaned by a chimney sweep). The
chimney will then burn. This can be recognised by flames blazing
out of the chimney outlet, heavy flying sparks, smoke and odours
or an increasingly hot chimney stack. It is important in these cases
to handle the situation correctly. The fire brigade should be notified
via the relevant emergency number. In addition, a chimney sweep
should be informed about the situation. Combustible objects should
be moved away from the chimney.
Warning from experts: Do not attempt to put out the fire with wa-
ter while waiting. The temperatures in a chimney fire can reach up
to 1300 °C. The extinguishing water will immediately turn to steam.
A 10 litre bucket of water results in 17 m³ of steam. The enormous
pressure that results can break the chimney apart.
