4.2 Chimney and Smoke
If you experience smoke coming out of the stove or the start section of the smoke pipe, it could be due to
certain weather conditions. On stormy or cold winter days or if the chimney has not been used in a while, a
cold plug can be created in the chimney, meaning the natural draft will be at its minimum.
If the chimney is cold and cold plugs are created, you may experience smoke leaks during the ignition and
startup phase. In this situation there can be more smoke than usually in the combustion chamber and some
of it might leak out of the stove. Therefore, if you have a cold chimney that has not been used for a while, we
recommend that you use some wood sticks to heat the chimney and eliminate the cold plug.

cold.
Combustion chamber
The fireproof tiles in the combustion chamber eventually wear out and should be replaced when the cracks
are more than 0.5 cm. The durability of the tiles depends on how often and how intensively the stove is used.
You can change the tiles yourself. They are available as a ready-to-use set. For further information, go to

Glass
Wet wood, unsatisfactory chimney draft, and wrong use of the stove can leave soot stains on the glass pane.
They can easily be removed using a damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass. Special
cleaning agents are also available to remove soot from glass, e.g. the Aduro Easy Clean pad. The pad
neither scratch nor damage the glass and is for multiple usage. Water or other cleaning agents are not
necessary.
It is common maintenance to tighten the glass fittings shortly after the stove has been installed as well as to
check if the gaskets are properly placed.
Gaskets
With time, gaskets around glass and door will wear. We recommend that you inspect them regularly. If
leakages appear, they must be replaced.
Ashes
Empty the ashpan before it gets completely full. Always leave a layer of ashes in the stove because it
insulates and makes it easier to light a fire.
