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.
At the end of the heating season: close off the
chimney and plug with newspaper.
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 fire-resistant inner
plates. See the chapter 'Installation' for instruc-
tions on removing and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
Remove the baffle plate at the top of the appliance
and clean it.
Checking fire-resistant inner
plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables that
are subject to wear and tear. Inner plates are fragile.
Do not knock the inner plates with logs. 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 refractory inner plates may begin to show
hairline cracks, but this does not negatively
affect their functioning.

Never use the appliance without the fire-
resistant inner plates.
Cleaning the glass
Dirt clings less easily to well-cleaned glass. Proceed
as follows:
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 cast-iron door.
Enamelled stove maintenance
Never clean the appliance if it is still warm. The most
effective way to clean the enamelled surface of the
stove is with a mild green soap and lukewarm water.
Use as little water as possible, rub the surface dry
and prevent the formation of rust. Wire wool or other
abrasives should never be used. Never place a kettle
directly onto an enamelled stove; use a stand to
prevent damage. Attention: Do not allow aggressive
acidic products to get onto enamelled components.
Lubrication
Although cast-iron is slightly self-lubricating, you will
still need to lubricate moving parts frequently.
Lubricate the moving parts (such as guide
systems, hinge pins, latches and air slides) with
heat-resistant grease that is available in the
specialist trade.
