CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
2.9 Cleaning and maintenance
The tile stove and the flue pipe must be
inspected and cleaned after the heating
period, if necessary, more frequently.
The deflection plates can be removed for
this purpose.
The deflection plates are designed to
improve efficiency. The FORUM has
three deflection plates adapted precisely
to the air intake of the FORUM stove.
We will have to provide the steel stoves
with a finish of heat-resistant paint.
However, heat-resistant stove lacquers
do not provide protection against corro-
sion, with the result that a rust film may
form in unfavourable conditions, for
example caused through:
- the use of too much water for clea-
ning the floor/base plate area.
- spilt water from boilers or dishes.
- the positioning in "moist rooms", e.g.
conservatories, or the intermediate
storage in the building carcass/garage
Clean areas covered in a rust film with
emery paper and spray them with stove
lacquer spray (available at your Hase
specialist dealer).
Do not use any detergents containing
acid (e.g. citrus or vinegar detergents) to
clean the steel parts. Sufficient cleaning
can be achieved by wiping the steel
parts with a slightly dampened cloth.
When properly used the secondary air
produces an air curtain in front of the
glass panels which at the same time
delays them from becoming sooted up.
The glass panels can be cleaned when
they are in the stove or by removing the
fire box door.
To remove the fire box door undo the
top screws in the grips (the botom grub
screw adjusts the position of the handle
vertically) with the enclosed Allen key.
Then turned the handle towards the
inside until it is horizontal. This draws
the locking rod completely. The door can
now be lifted out. Proceed in the reverse
order to refit the door. The screws must
be done up tight again.
A time-tested environment friendly
method for cleaning the ceramic glass
panels with materials which are availa-
ble in every household is as follows:
Take:
- 1 ball of kitchen paper, newspaper,
or the like
- wet it
- dip it into the cold wood ash
- wipe the glass with it
- wipe the glass with a clean ball of
paper and the job is done.
