4. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
4.1 CHIMNEY SWEEPING
Ensure your stove and chimney is swept at least
once a year by a professional accredited chimney
sweep. Use the HETAS find a chimney sweep tool.

The top baffle must also be cleaned once a year
at least to remove any build-up of ash or residue
from the chimney.
4.2 COMBUSTION CHAMBER
The fireproof tiles in the combustion chamber
eventually wear out and should be replaced when
the cracks are more than 0.5 cm. The durability
of the tiles depends on how often and how
intensively the stove is used.
Spare parts are available from MI-Fires directly or
from your local Mi-Fires dealer.
4.3 GLASS
Wet wood, unsatisfactory chimney draft, and
wrong use of the stove can leave soot stains on
the glass pane. They can easily be removed using
a damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on
the sooty glass.
Special cleaning agents are also available to
remove soot from glass, e.g. the Trollull Stove
Glass Cleaner. The pad neither scratches or
damages the glass and is for multiple usages.
Water or other cleaning agents are not necessary.
It is common maintenance to tighten the glass
fittings shortly after the stove has been installed
as well as to check if the gaskets are properly
placed.
4.4 GASKETS
With time, gaskets around glass and door will
wear. We recommend that you inspect them
regularly. If leakages appear, they must be
replaced.
4.5 ASH
The ashpan should be checked and emptied
regularly. You should never allow the ashes in the
pan to build up to the level of the grate.
If they are allowed to build up, the grate will
become sandwiched between the ash below
it and above it. This will overheat the grate and
cause distortion and premature wear
4.6 CLEANING THE STOVE
The stove’s surface is treated with a heat-resistant
Senotherm® paint, which will stay at its best just
by being vacuumed with a small, soft mouthpiece
or dusted with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use spirit or
other solvents, as they will remove the paint.
MI-Fire stoves are painted with a heat-resistant
paint that can withstand temperatures up to 500
degrees.
If the surface of the stove gets scratched or worn,
it can easily be renewed using this type of paint.
The paint is available in black metallic from your
local dealer.
4.7 SPARE PARTS LIST
All spare parts and consumable items are available
directly from MI-Fires or can be purchased from
your local stove specialist.
