Removing ash

After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash is left over. This ash bed is a good insulating
layer for the stove base plate and improves com-
bustion. It is a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on
the stove base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a cast-iron inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
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.

Resolving problems

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

Maintenance

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

Flue

In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the chim-
ney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the chim-
ney checked for soot.
At the end of the heating season: close off the chim-
ney and plug with newspaper.

Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the stove when it is still warm.
Clean the exterior of the stove with a dry lint-free
cloth.
You can clean the stove interior thoroughly at the end
of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the cast-iron inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for instruc-
tions on removing and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
If the stove has a detachable 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 sub-
ject 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 last a long time if you
remove frequently the ash that can accumulate
behind them. If accumulated ash behind the
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate will no
longer be able to dissipate the heat to the sur-
roundings and this may cause the plate to warp
or crack.
Never use the appliance without the cast-iron
inner plates.
Cleaning the 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 glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the
cleaning agent time to react.
