Cleaning and
maintenance
Proceed as per the below when
cleaning:
The polished hot plate (optional) is
coated by a corrosion resistant layer
which burns at the first temperature
load leaving no harmful residuals.
Your stove plate will change from the
initial light yellow to dark brown
during the first moderate load
operations. This is completely normal
and is no ground for complaint.
Hereinafter it is your task to maintain
it and restore the consistent
colouring. For this there are suitable
tools at specialist shops. But you can
also rub its surface with acid-free oils
(sewing machine oil) applied on a
cleaning wipe. If you want to speed
up the even darkening of the surface,
use blackening agents available in
shops. Remove overflowing or burnt
food with a scraping tool. Make sure
that the expansion joints are free of
deposits to avoid braces on the
hotplate.
No abrasives or abrasive tools
should be used for regular cleaning.
We recommend soapsuds for regular
caring.
The exhaust pipe has to be removed
and cleaned outside. Clean the
connection opening thoroughly before
taking it back.
Sweep deposits from the oven top
under the oven via the side air stack
on the double tension plates.
Scrape the side panels of the fire
compartment with a soot scraper.
Clean the exhaust pipe connection
on the side or in the back.
Place the stove top again and
reconnect the exhaust pipe.
Open the cleaning door and clean the
bottom side of the oven with the soot
scraper. Afterwards clean the double
tension plates and the oven base
with the soot scraper. To collect the
dirt pull out the embers drip pan and
empty it afterwards.
The outer enamelled surfaces
should be cleaned only with clean
water.
For heavy dirt use soapy water.
Then rub the surface dry.
Dirt from the window panel can be
removed best and environment
friendly with moistened scouring pad
immersed in wood ash or with any
standard glass cleaner.
Note: You avoid unnecessary dust
during cleaning except the oven
opening
used
for
cleaning,
all
openings remain closed during the
process.
