5. Maintenance
It takes only little effort to keep your stove in good condition.
Regularly check whether the sealing cord still closes the doors tightly enough.
The painted or enamelled cast iron mantle can be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth, when
it is almost cold.
Minor paint damage can be touched up with a can of spray
paint. Your dealer can supply you with the correct spray
product. For enamel damage, small repair kits of appropriate
colour are available with your dealer.
During the first use after repainting your unit might give off
some slight odour. However, this will disappear quickly.
The glass can be cleaned with a number of glass cleaning products available on the
market. Your installer can also supply you with appropriate products. However, never
use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.
A tight upper air slide can be adjusted with the two screws just above the air intake
holes on the front plate (see sketch).
At the end of the heating season, seal off the chimney with a ball of paper. You can then
thoroughly clean the stove on the inside.
If necessary, replace the sealing ropes and use fire cement to fill up possible leaks.
Remove the fire plate for better and more thorough cleaning.
You should have your chimney swept by an expert before the heating season begins. It
is useful to check the chimney for soot during the heating season as well. Checking and
maintaining the chimney is a statutory requirement.
When all of the above advice is heeded, you will be able to fully enjoy your stove.
