GB 18
5. SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION! Never clean your fireplace insert while it is hot or warm.
5.1 TYPE PLATE
The type plate can be found on your warranty certificate and on your fireplace
insert below the ash pan and/or the ash box. It includes technical data and
information. The type plate must not be removed as it confirms the testing of
the device and is required for the acceptance procedure and annual inspec-
tions by the chimney sweep.
5.2 ASH PAN AND GRATE
• Clean and empty the grate and ash pan at regular intervals, adapted to
suit your use of the fireplace. CAUTION! Ash can keep embers hot for up
to 24 hrs.
• The ash cone in the ash pan must not reach or block the slots in the grate.
• Always have the engraved side of grate facing downwards, located in the
recess in the bottom of the fireplace insert.
5.3 WINDOW
The way to ensure that your window panel remains soot free for as long as
possible is
• to use dry firewood (chapter „2.1.2 Types of wood“).
• to control combustion through adjustments to the flow of combustion air
(chapter „3. Burning“).
• to keep the fireplace insert at the highest possible combustion temperature
• to have the correct amount of draught in the chimney
• to add the right amount of wood for the operating range.
Gradual sooting up of the window is entirely normal and does not constitute
grounds for a complaint. Clean the inside of the window regularly using the
window cleaning agent provided to prevent particles of soot from burning in too
much (after approx. 8-12 operating hours)!
5.4 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The fire area, the hot gas draught and the flue should be cleaned at regular
intervals. Specifically, whenever there is any extended interruption in opera-
tion of the fireplace, ensure that the chimney is not blocked.
For other conditions, refer to table:

5.5 SMARTCLOSE DOOR LOCK
Fireplace inserts with SmartClose door
locking mechanisms must be lubricated
at regular intervals to assure prob-
lem-free operation (once per heating
season). Upon delivery, the package
includes a tube of special stove lubricat-
ing compound.
This lubricating compound is applied to
facilitate ease of movement of heavy fire
doors, and to prevent noise caused by
opening and closing those fire doors.
The lubricating compound must be
applied at least once a year to the spring
connection on the SmartClose and its associated roller. Fireplaces used fre-
quently or very frequently, it may be necessary to shorten this lubrication
interval. Depending on the type of fireplace insert, the door lock springs may
be located below and/or above the fire door. In order to lubricate the lock, you
may use a standard cotton swab as an aid.
To apply the lubricant compound, proceed as follows:
Open and secure the fire door; Apply a little lubricant compound to the cotton
swab and use it to coat the spring support on the door lock; Turn the locating
roller on the body of the stove during this application process. Open and close
the fire door a few times and, if necessary, apply the lubricant compound
once again.
Caution: Ensure that no copper lubricant compound makes contact
with cladding parts or similar items! Remove dirt and grime
straightaway with a cotton cloth. Never operate the equip-
ment during intervening periods.

The combustion air controller is not fully opened.3.2.1Move the air actuating lever into its far right-hand position.
The external combustion air line is not free.4.3Clean the combustion air line.
Combustion air is too heavily restricted. This means that soot accumulates quickly,
within just half an hour. (it is normal for the fireplace unit to become progressively dirtier
from operation. When driving, a car window becomes dirty, too!)
3.2.1Check the position of the air lever and, if necessary, open up the combustion air flow rate
fully to bring the fireplace unit up to operating temperature.
The seating of a gasket / door seal is not perfect.-Check all seals, e.g. open the fire door and press the seal fully into the door profile.
The wood is not dry enough.2.Measure the residual humidity in the wood used with a humidity detector. The recom-
mended residual humidity is 20% or less.
Not enough wood has been added. (an insufficient amount of wood can result in temper-
atures in the stove not being high enough).2.1.3The proper amount of wood per hour can be found in the technical data.
The chimney draught is too strong / too weak.-Observe the situation. The draught characteristics can be affected by the prevailing
weather pattern. If the glass continues to soot up badly, inform your chimney sweep.
