3. Using the scraper supplied, sweep the redundant
ashes through the ash removal port into the ash
pan underneath the grate.
4. Close the ash removal port.
5. Remove the ash pan using the "cold hand"
provided and empty the ash pan; see next figure.
6. Install the ash pan and close the appliance door.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

Solving problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to solve
any problems in using the appliance.

Maintenance

Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.

Chimney

In many countries, people are legally required to have
their 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.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
After the heating season: seal off the chimney with
a ball of paper.

Cleaning and maintenance

Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
At the end of the heating season, you can clean the
interior of the appliance thoroughly:
If necessary, first remove the fire-resistant inner
plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it. See the chapter "Installation" for
instructions on removing and installing the baffle
plate.
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 inner plates may
develop hairline cracks, but that does not
affect their performance adversely.
Cast-iron inner plates go a long way if you
frequently remove the ash that may pile up
behind them. If accumulated ash behind a
cast-iron plate is not removed, the plate cannot
dissipate the heat anymore to its surroundings
and that may cause the plate to warp or crack.
Never use the appliance without the fire-
resistant inner plates.
Removing the baffle plate
The baffle plate is secured with a bolt located between
the rear connection and the secondary air duct. The
bolt is fixed to the baffle plate.
1. Remove the nut on the rear side; see the following
figure.
