Do NOT burn the following
Under no circumstances may fossil fuels, pressure impregnated wood,
painted or glued wood, chipboard, plastic or colour brochures be used as
fuel. All these materials can create substances that are damaging both
to the environment and the fireplace. Also avoid using extremely finely
chopped wood except for lighting, because it burns uncontrollably. Fuel of
this type causes flashover resulting in too high output.
FIREBOX MAINTENANCE
The fireplace glass may become sooty even when using dry wood with a moisture content of 15 - 20%. Regular cleaning with damp paper is usually
sufficient to keep it clean. If the soot has been on the glass for a long time, dip the damp paper into the soft, none abrasive ashes and wipe clean.
Ash 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, ensure that there are no glowing embers. 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, otherwise spilled ash can prevent the ash-pan from being fully inserted.
The grate and other cast iron components in the firebox can be cleaned using a wire brush.
From a combustion point of view it is important to check gaskets, because worn gaskets hinder combustion when the stove/insert draws "extra air".
Painted parts of the fireplace can be cleaned using a damp cloth, with a small amount of detergent, if necessary. Damage to painted parts, e.g. small
scratches, can be rectified with Contura touch-up paint. Contact your dealer.
As there is a constant large flow of air through the fireplace, as cold room air is drawn in and hot air released, dust can collect behind and under the
fireplace. Therefore, these areas should be regularly cleaned.
Parts located near the actual seat of the fire may require replacing. Examples of such parts are the firebox panels and grate. The service life of these
parts depends on how much and how the fireplace is used.
Only use spare parts recommended by Contura.
Candles
Do not use old candle stubs as fuel. Melted wax runs down into the stove's
damper system and makes the stove unusable. Repairs for this are very
expensive.
