STOVE MAINTENANCE
Soot may form on the glass even when dry wood with a moisture content
of 15-20% is used. If you clean the glass regularly, it is usually sufficient
to wipe it off with damp paper. If the soot has been on the glass for
a long time, dip the paper in the ashes. Ashes and water will remove
the soot. This is the only cleaning method we recommend. Detergents
and special soot removes/fireplace glass cleaner are available from
supermarkets, DIY shops and local stove dealer, we do not recommend
these. Never use cleaning agents that contain abrasives or that have
a corrosive effect on printed or painted glass. These may damage
the glass/paintwork. Never use cleaning agents that contain sodium
hydroxide, these have a corrosive effect on sealing strips.
When emptying the ash-pan, make sure there are no live embers in the
ashes. The ash must be stored in a fireproof container with a lid for at
least one week before being disposed of.
Also clean inside the area where the ash-pan is located to remove any
spilled ash that might otherwise prevent correct insertion of the pan.
Use a wire brush to clean the grate and other cast-iron components in
the firebox.
It is important to inspect gaskets. Worn gaskets reduce combustion
efficiency because the stove draws additional air.
Paintwork on the stove can be cleaned using a damp cloth and, if
necessary, a few drops of washing-up liquid. Scratches on painted
surfaces can be repaired using Contura touch-up paint. Contact your
dealer.
The constant flow of air through the stove, as cold air is drawn in from
the room and hot air is released, can cause dust to collect behind and
under the stove. These places should therefore be cleaned regularly.
Parts located near the actual seat of the fire may require replacing. The
hearth cladding and grate are two such parts. The useful life of these
parts depends on how, and how much, the stove has been used.
Only use replacement parts recommended by Contura.
Door in open position, for cleaning/service
The door can be secured in an open position using the push button on
the underside of the stove.
