device has been left unused for a long period of time. If the device is used frequently, or if
poor- quality fuels are used, perform a deep clean more often as appropriate.
Always check each seal when cleaning the device - if any seal is damaged, it should be
replaced. Pay attention to ensuring that all air supply openings (slits on the grate/ash
drawer openings) are not blocked.
Get a specialist to inspect your stove annually (Schiedel recommends a HETAS Accredited
Chimney Sweep).
How to clean the heating door
You can fix the heating door for the combustion chamber in place in
order to make the cleaning process more convenient. Open the door
to the wood storage compartment, as well as the heating door, so that
they are completely open (> 90°). You will find a catch located
underneath the door closing mechanism. This can be used to lock the
door in place.
PLEASE NOTE Always keep the door to the combustion chamber closed when the device
is in heating mode! The door should only be fixed in place for cleaning purposes, or to
remove ash! DANGER may arise if exhaust gases leaks out!
Cleaning with an ash vacuum
Using an ash vacuum makes cleaning the device particularly convenient. Leave the device
to cool down completely and use an ash vacuum to clean.
Cleaning varnished surfaces
Wipe down varnished surfaces with a damp cloth. Do not
scour. Do not use any detergents which contain solvents
(e.g. glass cleaner etc.).
Please note that highly heat-resistant varnish is less
resistant to corrosion. If too much water is used to clean the device or adjoining
components, a film of rust may form.
