Maintenance - HWAM Autopilot IHS 3610 Manuel D'utilisation

Briquettes give off a lot of heat. Certain types expand considerably, thus causing an uncontrollable com-
bustion.
Coal burns at a high temperature and makes a lot of soot. Coal must be burned using the coal insert.
Not suitable for fuel in these models.
Coke burns at a high temperature and makes a lot of soot. Coke must be burned using the coal insert.
Coke causes severe wear and tear to stove and combustion chamber and, consequently, this considerably
reduces the life expectancy of the stove and chimney.
Not suitable for fuel in these models.
The stove is EN 13240 approved for firing wood only. No particle board, lacquered, painted
or treated wood, plastics, or rubber may be burned.

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 remember, only when the stove is cold. Do not use water, spirit or any other
kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be cleared of
ashes and soot.
The hinges and the closing hook must be greased with liquid copper fat spray (heat-resistant up to 1100
degrees Celsius), see drawing G. Lift the door approx. ½ cm and spray copper fat onto the hinge leaf.
Service inspection
Your stove should be given a thorough, preventive inspection once every two years.This includes:
• Thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or are no longer soft.
• Checking and/or replacing insulation material.
• Checking the construction (only some countries).
• Checking the bottom and/or shaking grate.
• Use copper grease for hinges and locking hooks (see drawing G).
All service checks must be performed by an authorised fitter. Use only original spare parts
Inside cleaning
The smoke shelf and baffle plate is to be removed from the stove before cleaning.
(Drawing E)
• Lift the smoke shelf (1) off the steel rail (2) at the back of the combustion chamber. Then lower it
beneath the holder (3) and tilt it out.
• The baffle plate (4) is lifted from the holders (5), under the top plate and edged out.
Ashes
It is easiest to empty the ash pan by pulling a plastic bag over it, turning it upside down and then carefully
removing it from the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic waste 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.
