8. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
8.1. GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Your Cook ME has been designed by our development team
with minimal maintenance in mind and for a very long service
life. Certain cleaning activities and checkin the seals are howe-
ver necessary from time to time. The time periods between the
inspection intervals are above all dependent on the fi re wood
quantity used and the frequency of use.
All maintenance and cleaning work must only be carried out
when the fi re is completely cooled down.
8.2. ONCE MORE
Only use wood that has been stored properly and is dry and
untreated. Feed the correct quantity of wood into the fi re.
All maintenance and cleaning work must only be carried out
when the fi re is completely cooled down.
8.3. FINISH - CONDITION AND CLEANING
The door glass can be cleaned using glass cleaner. The glass
cleaner can be obtained from your specialist fi re dealer.
Should the glass become heavily sooted the possible cause
could be damp wood.
The fi re fi nish is highly refractory and must only be cleaned
using a cloth (damp if necessary). Only use original paint for
touch up work, this is available from your specialist dealer as
an accessory.
Under no circumstances must the paint be cleaned before
heating for the fi rst time!

8.4. CONVECTION AIR OPENINGS
Regularly clean dust deposit from the convection air openings.
The fi re should be cleaned thoroughly before the start of the
new heating season, in order to prevent strong odours.
8.5. CLEANING THE FLUE GAS CHANNELS
(1x annually)
-> Removing the fl ue pipes
-> Brush off any soot and dust deposits in the fi re and in the
fl ue pipes and vacuum.
-> Check the seals on the fi re door or the ash drawer before
the beginning and end of the heating period. Should they be
damaged or excessively worn, then please order the relevant
replacement.
Only intact seals guarantee the perfect function of your fi re.
