Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney re:
• Close all dampers in the chimney and push the regulating handle on the stove to the
extreme right. Contact the re brigade.
Before using the wood-burning stove again, your local chimney sweep must rst inspect the
chimney.
Cleaning and Maintaining your Wood-Burning Stove
Warning: Cleaning and maintenance of your wood-burning stove may only be performed
when it is cool.
External Cleaning
The outside of your stove can be dusted as needed with a soft cloth or dust brush. Do not use
water, spirit or any other kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Cleaning the Glass Door
Your WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with a pane-ush system, which reduces the
build-up of soot on the glass. If soot somehow accumulates on the pane, it can be cleaned by
wiping the glass with a moist paper towel dipped in ash. Afterwards, dry with a clean paper
towel. When cleaning, we recommend that you use vertical strokes. You should also ensure
that air gaps in the door frame are free of ash and soot particles. Also ensure that the seals on
the stove are soft and fully intact; if they are not, ’false’ air can enter the stove, which makes it
more dicult to control combustion and can in turn cause overheating or soot accumulation.
Faulty or worn seals should therefore be replaced and can be purchased at your local wood-
burning stove dealer.
Emptying the Ash Pan
Important: Be aware that embers in the ash can remain hot for up to 24 hours after the re in
the stove has gone out!
The ash pan is most easily emptied by pulling a waste bag over the pan, turning the pan upside
down, and then carefully pulling it up and out of the bag again.
Cleaning the Combustion Chamber
In order to extend the service lifetime of the wood-burning stove, it should be thoroughly ser-
viced once a year. First remove ash and soot from the combustion chamber. In Figure E1/E2
you can see which plates are found inside the combustion chamber.
Carefully remove the vermiculite plates, one after the other, in the following sequence:
WIKING Luma 1+3+5
1. The side plates (1)
2. The side bottom pieces (2)
3. The corner plates (3)
4. The bae plate (top plate) (4)
5. The rear plate (5)
After cleaning, carefully put the vermiculite plates back in place in the reverse order starting
with the rear plate.
WIKING Luma 2+4+6
1. The side plates (1)
2. The corner plates (3)
3. The bae plate (top plate) (4)
4. The rear plate (5)
