5. Maintenance and cleaning of the stove
Pakninger
Med tiden bliver pakningerne slidte og bør derfor efterses. Er de utætte, bør de skiftes.
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.
You can change the tiles yourself. They are available as a ready-to-use set. For further information, go to
www.aduroshop.com.
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 Aduro Easy Clean pad. The pad
neither scratch nor damage the glass and is for multiple usage. 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.
Gaskets
With time, gaskets around glass and door will wear. We recommend that you inspect them regularly. If
leakages appear, they must be replaced.
Ashes
Empty the ashpan before it gets completely full. Always leave a layer of ashes in the stove because it
insulates and makes it easier to light a fire.
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.
The inside of the stove and the flue pipe can be cleaned through the door or alternatively through the
cleaning aperture in the flue pipe/chimney. The upper fireproof tile (the exhaust deflector) can be removed.
