The chimney draught (sucking exhaust gas from the fireplace insert) might be weaker during
the transition period, i.e. when the outside temperature is higher than 15°C, during rainy and
humid days or during gust airs.
During this period the fireplace insert should be operated with the minimum possible fuel so
that the fire, as well as the chimney draft could be improved by opening the air intakes.
Tip: During this period a so-called atmospheric plug can be created in the chimney mouth
due to the draft conditions. The plug can caused smoke escaping into the room when lighting
fuel. We recommend letting a piece of paper burn down preferably in the upper part of the
combustion chamber before lighting the kindling.
This seemingly negligible smoke is enough to break through the atmospheric plug.
Afterwards you can freely light paper (or solid fire-lighter) and be sure that even a humid
chimney is clear.
In this period it is also possible to use the same lighting method as for the fireplace inserts
without grate (with no ashpan).
5.6 Ash removal
Make sure that the ashpan is cleaned when being half full in order to prevent the ash reaching
too close to the grate and thus damaging it. At the same time the ash would block the intake
of air required for burning.
Removing ash from the ashpan should be carried out when the fireplace stove is cold and
preferably ready for the next heating. A vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning ash with a
filter for small filth can be also used for cleaning the cold ashpans or heater without ashpans. Ash
from burnt wood can be used for composts or fertilizing. 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.
Warning: For some fireplace insert types the ashpan is located in a basin under the grate
and cannot be removed from the side. The ashpan can be removed only when the heater is
cold and not in operation. The ashpan is accessible after lifting the grate.
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
insert. 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 insert is a high-quality product and no significant defects will appear during
normal operation. The fireplace insert and exhaust pipes should be checked thoroughly
before and after the heating season. Clean the fireplace insert only after it cools off!
