Cleaning
The stove, flue outlets and smoke pipes should be cleaned and inspected for deposits every year – if necessary more
often, e.g. after the cleaning of the chimney. The chimney also has to be cleaned regularly by the chimneysweeper. Your
chimneysweeper will inform you of the necessary inspection intervals. An expert should inspect the stove annually.
