cleaning and care

glass
most woodstoves use a ceramic glass product which is resistant to heat but requires clean-
ing to keep its appearance.
Soot or opaque marks can easily cleaned if the marks are fresh, however If you leave the
glass dirty for any length of time the acid from the wood can etch the surface of the glass
permantley (wet unseasoned wood, soft wood such as used in the building industry, pallet
wood should be avoided).
only clean when cold.
use only stove glass cleaners to re-move heavy tar/ soot deposits.
All other marks can normally be removed with a damp cloth, then dry with a clean cloth
or newspaper, do not let the glass dry before applying a dry clean cloth.
with more stubborn marks i.e. opaque areas/frosting, you need put a small amount of
wood ash on a clean damp cloth. If the opaque mark/frosting doesn't come out, contact
your dealer for a special remover.
Paint finish
the appliance has been coated with a high temperature paint which can last for years.
Do not clean with a damp cloth or any cleaning products as they can cause rust or discol-
ouration. only clean when cold use a brush with soft bristles or dust with a lint free cloth.
only re-spray when necessary.
the wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep twice a
year. During cleaning and care, the stove must be cold.
Prolonged period of non-use:
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given
a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. to enable a good flow of
air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air
controls fully open.
Prior to a new heating season, it should be checked that the chimney and smoke gas con-
nector are not blocked.
maintenance/spare parts
especially movable parts wear down during frequent use. Door seals are also wear parts.
only use original spare parts. we recommend service performed by your dealer after
completion of a heating period.
combustion chamber lining
the combustion chamber lining protects the body of the wood-burning stove against the
heat from the fire. the large temperature fluctuations may result in cracks in the plates of
the combustion chamber lining, which however have no effect on the functional capacity
of the wood-burning stove. they do not have to be replaced unless they are crumbling
away due to many years of use. the plates of the combustion chamber lining are only
inserted and are easy to replace by your dealer or yourself.
movable parts
Door hinges and door locks must be lubricated as required. we recommend that only our
own lubricating spray is used, as the use of other products may lead to the formation of
odours and residues. contact your dealer to obtain the lubricating spray.
