8. Maintenance
Sealing bands and vermiculite panels are wearing parts which need to be renewed. How often this is needed
depends on how much you use your stove. In some cases: every year, others: every second or third year. A
principal rule is that the sealing band needs to be replaced when it is flattened, and the door no longer fits tightly
against the front of the stove. A new set of sealing band with glue can be purchased from your local dealer.
Vermiculite panels must be renewed when they are worn thin, or when possible cracks are so wide that you can
actually see steel through them. If the panels are not renewed on such occasions, they will lose their power of
insulation and heat reflection. Movable and mechanical parts should be greased at least once a year with a
heat-resisting lubricant (closing mechanisms, hinges etc).
The stove and the chimney must be inspected by a qualified professional at regular intervals in order to ensure
the optimal operation of the stove. It is prohibited to carry out unauthorised alterations to the stove because this
is illegal and will invalidate both the warranty and the tests.
Replacement of the Door Sealing Band
1. Remove the sealing band from the inner frame and clean the band groove. (It is not necessary to remove the
door from the stove).
2. Apply a band of heat-resistant glue on the band groove, where the old band used to be.
3. Push new sealing band down into the groove.
4. Close the door and let the glue harden for about 24 hours, before you open the door again. If you do not
allow the glue to harden well enough before you open the door, the band may fall out.
Replacement of the Glass Sealing Band
1. Dismount the bolts that hold the glass.
2. Lift the glass.
3. Remove the old band.
4. Now you can apply the new sealing band to the door.
Install the glass following the steps in reverse order.
