Store the ash in closed non-flammable containers.

Warning: Make sure that the ash does not contain any glowing remains of wood that could

cause fire in the waste container.

Be careful when removing hot ash!

5.7 Cleaning the glass

The cleanliness of the window is influenced not only by the using of suitable fuel, providing

sufficient air intake and chimney draft but also by the method of operating the fireplace

stove. In this respect we recommend stoking only one layer of fuel and distributing the fuel

as evenly as possible and as far from the glass as possible. This also applies for briquettes

(the distance between them should be 5 to 10 mm). If the glass becomes dirty, try increasing

the burning intensity by opening the air intake and the glass will clean itself.

Sooty windows can be cleaned in cold state using newspapers or wet cloth dipped in wood

ash. Usually also liquid cleaning agents are used for cleaning the stove window. But these

may in some cases, depending on the composition of the cleaning agent and its interaction

with combustion residues (ash particles, etc.), harm the gaskets and/or the glass-ceramics

and/or the decoration colour of the fireplace viewing panel.

The producer is not responsible for damages, which are caused by attack in using of chemical

agents.

6. Cleaning and maintenance

Your fireplace stove is a high-quality product and no significant defects will appear during

normal operation. The fireplace stove and exhaust pipes should be checked thoroughly

before and after the heating season.

Clean the fireplace stove only after it cools off!

6.1 Cleaning the fireplace stoves / disassembly of chamotte

All sediments in flue pipes and combustion space must be removed during cleaning.

Remove all fallen-off parts of the chamotte lining. The integrity of the chamotte lining must

be monitored also during the heating season. Spaces between individual chamotte fittings

serve as a heat dilatation preventing cracking of the fittings and must not be filled by filling

material as was usual with older types of solid fuel heaters. Cracked chamotte fittings are still

functional until they fall out! The baffle plate should be removed during cleaning (this enables

easier access to the space above them). The fireplace stove cleaning (with the exception of

glass) should be done without water cleaner, i.e. using only vacuum cleaner or steel brushes.

Any modifications of the fireplace stove are unacceptable.

Use only spare parts approved by the manufacturer. Disassembly of chamotte (see the

Chamotte chamber). From time to time the friction areas of the door hinge and the closing

mechanism should be oiled using carbonic fat or grease designed for high temperatures.

Close the fireplace stove controls when not in operation.

6.2 Cleaning the chimney

Each user of a solid fuel heater is obliged to ensure regular maintenance and cleaning of

the chimney in accordance with Building Regulations. The frequency may alter with use but

we recommend a minimum of twice a year when burning wood with the correct moisture

content.
