Instruction for sweeping
1.
Start by removing the stones from the stove until you reach the coiled pipe.
2.
Open the sweeping hatch in the pipe (as seen in picture below). This does not require any
tools.
3.
Sweep the pipe using, for example a pliable nylon brush. DO NOT USE a metal brush! It
might damage the inner surface of the pipe and cause early corrosion.
4.
The pipe can alternatively be cleaned using an industrial vacuum cleaner.
5.
Finally spray or pour some water and/or use the brush to clean up the detachable smoke
pipe.
