Cleaning And Other Regularly Maintenance - Dovre TAI 45M Installation Et Mode D'emploi

At the end of the heating season: close off the chim-
ney and plug with newspaper.
Cleaning and other regularly
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the inside of the appliance thoroughly
at the end of the heating season:
Remove the filling lid and the coal bunker.
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the recuperator at the top of the appliance
and clean it. See the chapter on "Installation" for
instructions on removing and installing the recu-
perator.
Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables that
are subject to wear and tear. Vermiculite inner plates
are fragile. Do not knock the inner plates with logs.
Check the fire-resistant inner plates frequently and
replace them when necessary.
See the chapter "Installation" for instructions on
removing and installing the inner plates.
The refractory inner plates may begin to show
hairline cracks, but this does not negatively
affect their functioning.
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
Cleaning the glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen sponge,
rub down the entire glass surface and give the

cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass cleaning
product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen tis-
sue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use appliance again.
Ensure that no stove glass cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
Enamelled stove maintenance
Never clean the appliance while it is still hot. The
most effective way to clean the enamelled surface of
the stove is with a mild green soap and lukewarm
water. Use as little water as possible, rub the surface
dry and prevent the formation of rust. Wire wool or
other abrasives should never be used. Never place a
kettle directly onto an enamelled stove; use a stand to
prevent damage. Attention: Do not allow aggressive
acidic products to get onto enamelled components.
Lubrication
Although cast-iron is slightly self-lubricating, you will
still need to lubricate moving parts frequently.
Lubricate the moving parts (such as guide sys-
tems,hinge pins, latches and air slides) with heat
resistant grease that is available in the specialist
trade.
Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched-
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Touching up the enamelled surface
Enamelling is a process carried out by traditional meth-
ods, meaning that it is possible that small colour dif-
ferences and damage may occur. The appliances
