Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the stove in good condition.
Chimney
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the beginning of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by an expert.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot deposits.
After the heating season: seal off the chimney with
a ball of paper.
Cleaning and other regular
maintenance activities
Do not clean the stove when it is still warm.
Clean the exterior of the stove with a dry lint-free
cloth.
You can clean the stove interior thoroughly at the end
of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates. See the chapter "Installation" for
instructions on removing and installing the inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it.
Checking fire-resistant inner plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables and
subject to wear . 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 insulating vermiculite or chamotte inner
plates may develop hairline cracks, but this
does not affect their performance adversely.
12
Cast-iron inner plates last a long time if you
remove frequently the ash that can accumulate
behind them. If accumulated ash behind the
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate will no
longer be able to dissipate the heat to the
surroundings and this may cause the plate to
warp or crack.
Never use the stove without the fire-resistant
inner plates.
Cleaning 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
tissue.
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 the appliance again.
Make sure that no stove window cleaner runs
between the glass and the cast-iron door.
Maintenance enamelled stove
Never clean the stove 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.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
