VAIO Operating and installation instructions
Door/glass
Only clean the glass when the wood-burning stove has cooled down. To do so, use a damp piece of paper
dipped in ash. This will enable you to remove any soot from the glass panel. Then moisten a clean piece
of paper and wipe the glass panel clean. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for any damage
caused by the use of aggressive chemical substances.
At regular intervals, make sure that the gaskets on the door are soft and undamaged. If this is not the
case, they must be replaced. Only use original seals.
Surface
The surface does not usually require any subsequent treatment. Any paint damage can be quickly and
easily improved using Senotherm spray.
Guarantee
Failure to carry out maintenance will invalidate the stove manufacturer’s guarantee.

a moisture content of approx. 18%.

Formation of smoke when opening the front door
• The throttle valve in the chimney may be shut. Open the throttle valve.
• No draft in the chimney. See the section describing the chimney or contact your local chimney sweep.

It is not possible to regulate the heating
• The door or ash pan gasket is not properly sealed. Replace the gasket.
• If the draft is too strong in the chimney, the regulating rod may need to be closed. If the stove is not in
operation, close the regulating rod.

contact your specialist.
