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:
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for
instructions on removing and installing the inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear. 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.
The insulating vermiculite inner plates may
develop hairline cracks, but that does not
affect their performance adversely.
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 fire-
resistant inner plates.
Dismantling damper and baffle
plate
Both the damper and the baffle plate can be removed.
The damper (A) is connected to the baffle plate by the
damper rod. The baffle plate is fastened to the
appliance with a bolt connection; see next figure.
1. Open the door by turning the latch outward and
unlocking the door; see next figure.
