Clean soot and tar if they have begun to
accumulate on the inner walls of the heater.
• Check whether the doors close tightly; adjust if
necessary.
AT THE END OF THE SEASON
• Inspect and clean the chimney.
• Use the vacuum cleaner to clean inside the
heater and inspect it.
• Any soot and tar (creosote) that has
accumulated on the walls of the heater will
hinder performance.

when they no longer seal the door perfectly.
• In the case of painted heaters, paint the cast
iron parts again if necessary

DOOR PANES
Cleaning
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are quite
effective products.
Never try to clean the glass while the fireplace is
working.
We recommend using HERGOM window cleaning
products
for their proven efficacy.
If the glass pane on the fireplace door is constantly
covered in soot, this means your fire is "poor" and
that the connecting pipe and chimney are being
blocked by soot and creosote.
Replacing.
The glass panes in your heater have been especially
manufactured for log stoves.
If they should break, they must be replaced
by another glass pane with the same technical
specifications. Contact our Distributor to provide
you with the appropriate glass pane, together with
instructions to assemble and seal.
