4 Maintenance
4.1 Seals
The applied seals consist of ceramic fiberglass tape and cord. Aggressive detergents may corrode these
materials. Depending on the frequency of use, these components will wear out. The fiber seals can burn
away and / or come loose which may lead to the stove priming ‘false air’. Take care of a timely replace-
ment of these seals to allow the stove to remain functioning optimally.
4.2 Bottom grid and ash tray
Empty the ashtray regularly. Prevent that the amount of ash ending up in the ashtray is so large that the
ash touches the bottom of the bottom grid, since it would lead to the bottom grid being unable to cool
down, which instead may cause it to burn. Swipe the ashtray housing clean regularly. Please observe
that the removal of the ash from the ashtray is done only when it has cooled down. The color and
nature of the ash also is a good indication of the incineration process. During an optimal incineration,
fine white ash is created. A dark color indicates an incomplete burning process. Always leave a few cen-
timeters of ashes lying at the bottom of the incineration compartment. During the heating process of the
stove, this starts to glow and helps the stove to warm up more easily.
4.3 Out of use
When the stove will not be used for a longer period of time, it needs to be preserved to prevent bad
performance and corrosion of the stove. Ventilate the stove and, if necessary, place moisture absorbers
in the fireplace.
4.4 Rotating parts
All rotating parts, such as the hinges and lock need to be mildly lubricated at least once a year. This can
be done with graphite or copper grease.
4.5 Warranty
When purchasing the stove, make sure that is has been equipped with a completely filled out warranty
certificate. This certificate contains the explanations associated warranty provisions. (see attachment 3).
When replacing the parts, only the use of original components is allowed. Warranty lapses when
non-original components are used.The device cannot be modified. Also, the warranty lapses in case of
modification of whatever nature.
4.6 Glass
Do not wait too long with regard to cleaning the glass when there is soot on it. This way you prevent the
soot from burning in. The glass can be cleaned using a moist cloth, non-scratching detergent or special
window detergent available at your retailer. To prevent cracking, the glass can only be cleaned when it
has cooled down.
4.7 Coating
Damage and / or discolorations to the stove and / or smoke channel can be remedied using special
heat resistant coating. These spray cans are available at your dealer. Standard delivered ex works in
color anthracite color code 930.
4.8 Smoke channel
Have the smoke channel inspected and cleaned by a recognized chimneysweeper at least once a year.
4.9 Vermiculite panels
The vermiculite panels can be cleaned with a brush. Check the cover for possible damage. Cracks are
no problem, as long as they fit together nicely. If pieces of a part of the cover are missing, this part
must be replaced immediately.
Make sure that the construction of the stoke compartment
remains well protected!!
