chimney draft could be improved by opening the air intakes.
Tig: During this period a so-called atmospheric plug can be created in the chimney mouth due to the draft
conditions. The plug can cause smoke escaping into the room when lighting fuel. We recommend letting a piece
of paper burn down preferably in the upper part of the combustion chamber before lighting the kindling. This
seemingly negligible smoke is enough to break through the atmospheric plug. Afterwards you can freely light
paper (or solid fire-lighter PE-PO) and be sure that even a humid chimney is clear.
In this period it is also possible to use the same lighting method as for the fireplace stoves without grate (with no
ashpan).
Ash removal
Make sure that the ashpan is cleaned when being half full in order to prevent the ash reaching too close to the
grate and thus damaging it. At the same time the ash would block the intake of air required for burning. Removing
ash from the ashpan should be carried out when the fireplace stove is cold and preferably ready for the next
heating. A vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning ash with a filter for small filth can be also used for cleaning the
cold ashpans or heater without ashpans. Ash from burnt wood can be used for composts or fertilizing. Store the
ash in closed non-flammable containers.
Warning: Make sure that the ash does not contain any glowing remains of wood that could cause fire in the waste
container.
Warning: For some fireplace stove types the ashpan is located in a basin under the grate and cannot be removed
from the side. The ashpan can be removed only when the heater is cold and not in operation. The ashpan is
accessible after lifting the grate.
Be careful when removing hot ash!
Cleaning the glass
The cleanliness of the window is influenced not only by the using of suitable fuel, providing sufficient air intake and
chimney draft but also by the method of operating the fireplace stove. In this respect we recommend stoking only
one layer of fuel and distributing the fuel as evenly as possible and as far from the glass as possible. This also applies
for briquettes (the distance between them should be 5 to 10 mm). If the glass becomes dirty, try increasing the
burning intensity by opening the air intake and the glass will clean itself. Sooty windows can be cleaned in cold state
using newspapers or wet cloth dipped in wood ash. Usually also liquid cleaning agents are used for cleaning the
stove window. But these may in some cases, depending on the composition of the cleaning agent and its interaction
with combustion residues (ash particles, etc.), harm the gaskets and/or the glass-ceramics and/or the decoration
colour of the fireplace viewing panel.
The producer is not responsible for damages, which are caused by attack in using of chemical agents.
6. Cleaning and maintenance
Your fireplace stove is a high-quality product and no significant defects will appear during normal operation. The
fireplace stove and exhaust pipes should be checked thoroughly before and after the heating season.
Clean the fireplace stove only after it cools off!
Cleaning the fireplace stoves / disassembly of chamotte
All sediments in flue pipes and combustion space must be removed during cleaning. Repair, ideally by removing, all
fallen-off parts of the chamotte lining. The integrity of the chamotte lining must be monitored also during the heating
season. Spaces between individual chamotte fittings serve as a heat dilatation preventing cracking of the fittings and
must not be filled by filling material as was usual with older types of solid fuel heaters. Cracked chamotte fittings are
still functional until they fall out! Bulk shutter for directing the draft, if used, should be removed during cleaning (this
enables easier access to the space above them). The fireplace stove cleaning (with the exception of glass) should be
done without water cleaner, i.e. using only vacuum cleaner or steel brushes. Any modifications of the fireplace stove
are unacceptable. Use only spare parts approved by the manufacturer. Disassembly of chamotte (see the Chamotte
chamber). From time to time the friction areas of the door hinge and the closing mechanism should be oiled using
carbonic fat or grease designed for high temperatures. Close the fireplace stove with corresponding slide valves
