Cleaning the combustion chamber

In order to extend the service lifetime of the wood-burning
stove, it should be thoroughly serviced once a year. First
remove ash and soot from the combustion chamber.
Carefully remove the vermiculite plates, one after the other
in the following order:
1. Base plate (2 pieces)
2. Front plate
3. Right side plate
After cleaning, carefully reinsert the vermiculite plates,
in the opposite order starting with the rear plate.
Over time, the combustion chamber's effective yet porous insulation can become worn and
damaged. A crack in the back plate can cause secondary air to become incorrectly distributed
in the combustion chamber, and it should therefore be replaced. Cracks in the other plates will
not affect the efficiency of the wood-burning stove. They should, however, be replaced when
worn down to half of their original thickness.

Surface treatment

It is normally not necessary to treat the wood-burning stove's surfaces. If the lacquer has been
damaged, you can repair it by using a special senotherm spray, which can be purchased from
your local wood-burning stove dealer.

Chimney sweeping

In order to prevent against the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned once a year.
The smoke pipe and smoke chamber above the steel smoke deflector must be cleaned at the
same time as the chimney. If the chimney's height makes cleaning from above impossible, a
cleaning hatch must be installed.

Service inspection

WIKING recommends a thorough service inspection every other year, so that your wood-
burning stove will last for many years. The service inspection must be performed by a qualified
serviceman, and only original spare parts should be used.
Among other things, a service inspection includes:
• A thorough cleaning of the stove.
• An adjustment of the handle/door.
• Greasing of the hinges with copper grease.
• Inspection of the heat-insulating plates (the vermiculite set)
• Inspection of the damper beneath the door.
• Inspection of the seals and the replacement of worn parts.
If you have any questions, please consult our FAQ page at www.wiking.com, or contact your
local wood-burning stove dealer.
