However, the air supply through the bottom of the fire
compartment must not be impeded and no ash should
be allowed to accumulate behind a cast iron inner
plate. Therefore, remove any excess ash frequently.
You can remove the excess ash with the aid of a
small shovel.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

Solving problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to solve
any problems in using the appliance.

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.

Chimney

In many countries, people are legally required to have
their chimney checked and maintained.
At the beginning of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by an expert.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot deposits.
After the heating season: seal off the chimney with
a ball of paper.
Cleaning and other regular
maintenance activities
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
At the end of the heating season, you can clean the
interior of the appliance thoroughly:
Subject to change because of technical improvements
If necessary, first remove the cast-iron inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for
instructions on removing and installing the inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
If there is a removable baffle plate: remove the
baffle plate at the top of the appliance and clean it.
Inspecting cast-iron inner plates
The cast-iron inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear-and-tear. Check the fire-resistant
inner plates frequently and replace them when
necessary.
See the chapter "Installation" for instructions on
removing and installing the inner plates.
Cast-iron inner plates go a long way if you
frequently remove the ash that may pile up
behind them. If accumulated ash behind a
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate cannot
dissipate the heat anymore to its surroundings
and that may cause the plate to warp or crack.
Never use the appliance without the cast-iron
inner plates.
Cleaning glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove window cleaner:
a. Apply stove window cleaner to a kitchen
sponge, rub down the entire glass surface and
give the cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen
tissue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
