Maintenance and cleaning of the stove
STAVANGER 6 / TROMVIK 6
Before effecting any maintenance operation or cleaning on the stove, take the following precautions:
• be sure that all parts of the stove are cold.
• be sure that the ashes are completely cold.
• be sure that the general switch is in the "OFF" position.
• be sure that the plug is pulled out of the socket to avoid accidental contact.
• once the maintenance phase is completed check that everything is in order as per before the intervention
(the brazier is placed correctly).
Follow carefully the following cleaning instructions. Failure to follow these
instructions could create problems with the operation of the stove.
Cleaning the brazier and brazier support
When the flame assumes a red colour or seems weak, and is accompanied
by black smoke, this means that there are ash deposits or incrustations
that do not permit the correct functioning of the stove and that must be
removed. Remove the brazier every day by simply raising it from its slot;
then clean out the ashes and eventual incrustations that may have formed,
paying particular attention to liberating the holes by using a pointed tool
(not included with the stove). This operation is made particularly necessary
before every lighting the first several times and above all if using pellets
that differ from those supplied by our company. The frequency of this
operation is determined by how frequently the stove is used and the choice
of pellets. It is also a good idea to check the brazier support, vacuuming
the eventual ash present.
Ash box
Open the door and use a vacuum to remove all the ash deposited inside
the ash box.
This operation must be performed more or less frequently depending on
the quality of the pellets used.
Cleaning the glass
The glass is a self cleaning type, therefore, while the stove is working, a veil of air is blown across its
surface to remove ash and dirt; nevertheless over a period of several hours, a greyish patina tends to
form which should be cleaned when the stove is next shut down. How dirty the glass becomes also
depends on the quality and quantity of pellets used.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is cold with products recommended and tested by
our company.
When performing this operation, always check that the grey seal around the glass is in a good state;
failure to check the efficiency of this gasket can comp omise the function of the stove.
Poor quality pellets can, in any case, cause the glass to become dirty.
