8 MAINTENANCE
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 frequency of use, 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.
Fill the ash tray with the help of the shaking grid lever. From to
time residual ashes should be removed from the coal grill using
the poker. Simply hook the pin of the operating tool into the
front plate of the ash pan and carefully pull it out of the
appliance to empty it.
Removing the grid and hopper
After regular use (depending on the amount of ashes) the burning chamber, the grid and the space of the
ashtray must be cleaned thoroughly. It’s recommended to use a vacuum cleaner for this. Make sure the
stove is cooled down first. Take out the hopper, remove the standing grate on the front from its supports
and then remove the coal grate from the frame. Finally remove the ash tray from the appliance.
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.
Cleaning the cooking plate
The polished cooking plate will glow wand turn blue during use. This is a normal phenomenon. The
polished cooking plate can be cleaned using steel wool and the optional cleaning product.
Avoid spilling water on a hot cooking plate as this may burst the plate!
