Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance
is limited to vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can
also dust the stove using a dry, soft cloth or brush, but on a cold stove only.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should
be cleared of ashes and soot. Door and fittings should be lubricated using a copper-based
grease.
Before brushing clean, move the control rod to the far left in order to avoid soot and ash get-
ting into the automatic controls.
The smoke shelf and baffle plate is removed from the stove before cleaning. At stoves with
cooking section it is only necessary to remove the smoke shelf.
• First lift the smoke shelf (1) from the rail at the base (2). Next, lower it under the holders
(3) and slide out at an angle.
• The baffle plate (4) is lifted from the holders (5), under the top plate and edged out
• If the baffle plate (6) has to be removed from stoves with cooking section, the bottom
stones are removed from the cooking section. After this the screws (7) are dismounted.
If necessary change the screws when remounting.
Ashes
The ash pan is best emptied by pulling a rubbish bag over the pan, tipping it and then carefully
pulling it out of the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic rubbish collection.
Please note that there may be embers in the ashes for up to 24 hours after the fire has
gone out!!!
Insulation
The efficient, but porous insulation of the combustion chamber may, in time, become worn
and damaged. Cracks in the insulation have no effect on the efficiency of the stove. The
insulation should be replaced, however, when due to wear and tear it is reduced to less than
half the original thickness.
Door/glass
Check that the air ducts in the frame of the lid are free from ash and soot. The lowest duct,
especially, should be vacuum cleaned often.
If the glass is blackened with soot, it can easily be cleaned using steel wool. Check frequently
to ensure that seals in the door and ash pan are intact and
should be replaced. Use original seals only.
Ceramic tiles
Certain types of ceramic tile will craze on the surface. To avoid dirt getting into the pores of
the crazed surface, the tiles should only be cleaned when cold. Wipe using a dry, soft cloth
without detergents.
Surface
The surface normally requires no treatment. Any damage to the coating may be remedied
using a Senotherm spray.
Guarantee
The guarantee does not cover damage due to insufficient maintenance!
