Cleaning the Glass Door
Your WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with a pane-flush system, which reduces the
build-up of soot on the glass . If soot somehow accumulates on the pane, it can be cleaned by
wiping the glass with a moist paper towel dipped in ash . Afterwards, dry with a clean paper
towel . When cleaning, we recommend that you use vertical strokes . You should also ensure
that air gaps in the door frame are free of ash and soot particles . Also ensure that the seals on
the stove are soft and fully intact; if they are not, 'false' air can enter the stove, which makes it
more difficult to control combustion and can in turn cause overheating or soot accumulation.
Faulty or worn seals should therefore be replaced and can be purchased at your local wood-
burning stove dealer .
Emptying the Ash Pan
Important: Be aware that embers in the ash can remain hot for up to 24 hours after the fire in
the stove has gone out!
The ash pan is most easily emptied by pulling a waste bag over the pan, turning the pan upside
down, and then carefully pulling it up and out of the bag again .
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 . In Figure E you can
see which plates are found inside the combustion chamber . Carefully remove the vermiculite
plates, one after the other, in the following sequence:
1. Smoke deflector (top plate)
2 . Rear plate
3 . Left corner plate
4 . Right corner plate
5 . Left side plate
6 . Right side plate
After cleaning, the vermiculite plates are carefully reinserted in reverse order, starting with the
right side 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 .
