Care And Cleaning; Ceramic Glass Surfaces - Wamsler K158 Bedienungs- Und Aufstellanleitung

Cooking in summer
- Grate position "UP"
- temperature control to "3"
- secondary air slide "OPEN"
At the warmer times of the year, the stove will mostly only be used to cook, and prepare
domestic hot water. Here the "UP" grate position is used, to ensure that the room where
the stove is and the hot water tank do not become excessively overheated.
If the hotplate is not hot enough, the ash door can be opened as an exception. If the heat
capacity of the domestic water boiler is exceeded then the excess energy is let off through
the heat sink (closed circuit).
This must not be allowed to be a regular operating situation; otherwise it will lead to
rapid furring up of the heat exchanger

1.7 Care and cleaning

The period of time between cleaning the stove and the flue pipes depends largely on the
type of fuel used, the draught and the mode of operation. It should certainly be cleaned if:
- heating performance drops,
- the fuel burns poorly despite powerful air intake (open ash door),
- smoke occasionally comes out (flue gas smell in room) or
- the period for heating is over.
- Unnecessary dust escape can be avoided if all openings on the stove remain closed, if
they are not actually being used as accesses to clean through at the time.
- Take the hotplate out (Fig. 16) and clean out the chimney connection (Fig. 17). The
hotplate can remain in place for the upper smoke connection.
- Clean the ducts from top to bottom using the soot scraper and brush through after-
wards (Fig. 18)
- To clean the left and right draught ducts:
- remove the ash pan and
- push cleaning slides to the back of each using the fire iron (Fig. 19 & 20)

1.7.1 Ceramic glass surfaces

Clean the window and/or Ceran plate before first use with a clean damp cloth. Then rub a
few drops of a ceramic glass protection product onto the glass / Ceran plate with a paper
towel.
After wiping this and polishing it dry, the high quality surface is now covered with an invisi-
ble film. The helps to keep the glass pane /Ceran plate clean and if repeated regularly,
makes it easy to clean
