Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot.
Cleaning and other regular
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the appliance interior thoroughly at
the end of the heating season:
If necessary, first remove the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Checking inner plates
The inner plates are consumables that are subject to
wear and tear. Check the fire-resistant inner plates
frequently and replace them when necessary.
See the chapter 'Placing vermiculite stones into
the appliance' for instructions on removing and
installing inner plates.
Never use the appliance without the inner
plates.
Cleaning front glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass (front
glass in the door). Proceed as follows:
Subject to change because of technical improvements
1. Remove dust and loose soot with a dry cloth.
2. Clean the glass with stove glass cleaner:
a. Apply stove glass cleaner to a kitchen
sponge, rub down the entire glass surface
and give the cleaning agent time to react.
b. Remove the dirt with a moist cloth or kitchen
tissue.
3. Clean the glass again with a normal glass
cleaning product.
4. Rub the glass clean with a dry cloth or kitchen
tissue.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive products to
clean the glass.
Wear household gloves to protect your hands.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before the stove
is used again.
Ensure that no stove glass cleaner runs
between the glass and the door.
Stove maintenance
Lubrication
Although cast-iron is slightly self-lubricating, you will
still need to lubricate moving parts frequently.
Lubricate the moving parts (such as guide sys-
tems, hinge pins, latches and air slides) with heat-
resistant grease that is available in the specialist
trade.
Touching up damaged paint
Small areas of damaged paint finish can be touched
up with a spray can of special heat-resistant paint,
available from your supplier.
Ensure that the stove is not overloaded. If the
stove is overloaded, the surface will become
very hot, possibly resulting in lasting damage.
Checking the seal
Check whether the door sealing rope is still in
good condition and works well. The sealing rope
is subject to wear and will need to be replaced
over time.
