Generally speaking the stove should undergo a thorough maintenance at least once a year if the appliance is
used frequently. We recommend carrying out smaller maintenance work such as removing ashes and
cleaning the glass at more regular intervals. Note that the stove may only be cleaned when it is cooled
down.
Removing ashes
Depending on the amount of ashes, the ashtray should be
emptied regularly in order to avoid the ash from reaching the
wood grill. When it does reach the wood grill, the grill cannot
cool down and the cast iron parts will start melting.
Simply hook the operating tool into the front panel of the
ashtray and carefully pull the ashtray out to empty it.
The ash door must remain closed during operation. Otherwise
you risk overheating and damaging the stove.
Removing the grid
After regular use (depending on the amount of ashes) the grid and the space of the ashtray must be cleaned
thoroughly by means of a vacuum cleaner. Make sure the stove is cooled down first. You can remove the
grid, with or without the use of the operating tool.
Cleaning the flue
Flue dust and ashes must be removed from the smoke
discharge duct (between the cleaning hatch and the back plate)
every year. The smoke discharge duct can be accessed by
removing the cleaning hatch. This makes it easy to remove the
ashes from the discharge duct as well as the connector. The
cleaning hatch must remounted correctly afterwards.
Cleaning painted surfaces
Dust the remaining ashes from the painted parts using a soft hand brush or cotton cloth. Never
wash the appliance with water! This can cause rust.
