Maintenance - Harrie Leenders FUGA eL Anleitung Und Montageanleitung

How to use the Fuga eL
1. Open the aeration slide by pulling it
completely out.
3. When the fire gets smaller, add solid
wood varying in thickness from 5 to 7
cm. The amount depends on the heat
required. Stack lightly. Do not add more
than 3 to 4 logs at a time.
5. A quietly burning fire is obtained by
reducing the opening of the aeration
slide by pushing it inwards. This will
reduce the draught in the stove.
When you want to let the fire die down,
you must open the aeration slide.
Preferred order of wood thicknesses to be used when you start burning the stove.
1. kindling wood (±2x2x230cm)
The power of fire
As a matter of fact just a few things withstand a real hot fire. Your stove can also be damaged by overheating. Just to prevent this take
account of not burning more than 4 kilograms of wood at the same time. 4 Kilograms is approximately equal to 4 massif logs; oak with
15% moisture. The construction and the used materials from the stove are suchlike chosen to control and resist a fire in a considered way.
So heat with consideration.
A few tips
• Always keep a fire on a bed of ashes. This is an insulating layer for the fire and also an excellent bed for the fuel.
• You also control the temperature by the amount and the kind of fuel you add each time.
• Remove the surplus of ashes with a scoop or an Ash cleaner. Never use a vacuum cleaner because a fire may still glow after extinction
for days. Ensure that a layer of ashes (+ 3 cm) is left for your next fire.
• When the weather is foggy, preferably, do not use the stove for the draught in the flue will be too low.

2. Light the stove with paper, cardboard or
firelighters and small wood. Stack lightly.
Allow some time for the stove to heat up.
This will ensure a proper draught, keep
the flue cleaner, and results in a good fire
under the more solid logs to be added.
Leave the aeration slide a bit open for
additional draught.
4. After each loading, give the fire some
extra oxygen by opening the aeration
slide all the way. Repeat this until the
fuel is burning properly.
2. thicker wood (±4x4x230cm) 3. solid log (±7x7x230cm)

Maintenance

Maintenance inox parts
Dust the stove using a non-fibrous cloth. Clean with lean soapsuds if necessary.
Use the Harrie Leenders Polisher to touch up small spots and give the stove its shine back.
Ask you supplier for advice.
Inox: Remove stains with a soft cloth. Use Harrie Leenders Inox-Cleaner.
Note: Inox cleaner can damage the paint of the stove. Be careful.
Maintenance enamelled parts
Dust the stove using a non-fibrous cloth.
Clean with lean soapsuds if necessary.
Maintenance ceramic firebricks
You need not worry about any cracks in the ceramic firebrick elements as long as the flame does not come into direct contact with the
metal behind them. Should this be the case, however, then it will be necessary to replace the brick; contact your supplier.
Maintenance glass
The glass is steamed up when burning wet fuel or too little oxygen is supplied. Also, the glass may steam up if the fire does not start fier-
cely enough. This happens, for instance, when you start with small logs instead of thin kindling wood. Moisture will then remain in the
stove for too long, and will settle on the coldest part: the glass.
Use paper towel and then remove the light moisture using a damp cloth.
Thicker deposits can be treated with special stove-glass cleaner (this can also be done with a piece of moist paper
towel and white ash). Always ensure that these agents do not come into contact with the paint or your floor to avoid
damaging it.
Maintenance moving parts
Moving and squeaking parts can be lubricated with graphite grease or copper grease. Contact your dealer for advice.
Collecting soot when sweeping the chimney
1. Remove both the steel and brick heat
shield. Lift them a little and tilt them.
Then you can take them out.
Damaged spots can be touched up using an
abrasive cloth and the special Harrie
Leenders stove paint.
Ask you supplier for advice.
2. Close the air-control slide and place a
newspaper on the bottom of the stove to
collect the soot.
After sweeping the chimney, remove the
accumulated soot from the stove and put
the heat shields back into place.
