Maintenance
Small maintenance
•
It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three centimetres. It will protect the fire plate.
•
Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give off fluff. Do not use any aggressive
cleansing agents or abrasives.
•
Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass with
your fingers. Finger marks burn into the glass.
•
Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove.
When the stove is not used
•
Close all doors and air inlets in summer season.
•
Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a humid space.
Yearly maintenance
•
Have your chimney properly cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons and
any fire insurance.
•
Have the complete tube system checked every year; this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just
outside the wall.
•
Have the valves and/or flaps checked for their functioning.
•
Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for wear and tear.
Safety
A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home.
Fire safety starts with a proper installation and a properly working flue tube. Your installer must therefore comply
with the installation instructions as listed on page 21 and further. To burn your stove safely, the following points
are important:
1. Burn your stove as much as possible with a closed door; it increases the output and is better for the environment.
2. Prevent small children or the infirm from getting too close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone in
the room when the stove is burning. You could use a fire-screen.
3. Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials in the stove, as it may damage the fireplace beyond
repair.
4. If the floor around the fireplace is made of combustible material you must use a floor slab. The floor slab must
have a minimum size of: 50 cm measured from the fireplace on the front side of the door: 30 cm measured
from the fireplace on all sides from the door:.
5. Do not place any combustible materials, such as curtains, wooden objects (cupboards, paintings) close to the
fireplace or the flue tube. A minimum distance of 80 cm measured from the exterior of the stove and the flue
tube is required.
6. Equip any material close to the stove that cannot be moved with heat-retardant sheeting.
7. Never cover the chimney breast or mantelpiece with combustible material (e.g. paper covering).
8. Please bear in mind the points of the section on 'the best way to burn your stove' , on page 19.
9. Have your stove repaired only by a certified installer and with original parts.
