be avoided by never allowing the stove to burn with the ashpan open and taking great care with types of
fuel that develop excessive heat, such as briquettes.
We recommend using birch or beechwood, which has been split and stored for at least one year outdoors
under cover. Wood stored indoors tends to become too dry and burn too quickly.
Briquettes give off a lot of heat. Certain types expand considerably, thus causing an uncontrollable com-
bustion.
Coal burns at a high temperature and makes a lot of soot.
Coal must be burned using the coal insert.
Not suitable for fuel in these models.
Coke burns at a high temperature and makes a lot of soot. Coke must be burned using the coal insert.
Coke causes severe wear and tear to stove and combustion chamber and, consequently, this considerably
reduces the life expectancy of the stove and chimney.
Not suitable for fuel in these models.
The stove is EN 13240 approved for firing wood only. No particle board, lacquered, painted
or treated wood, plastics, or rubber may be burned.

Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is limited to
vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also dust the stove using a
dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do not use water, spirit or any other
kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be cleared of
ashes and soot.
Service inspection
Your stove should be given a thorough, preventive inspection once every two years. This includes:
• Thorough cleaning of the stove.
• Check the spring in the automatic unit and replace if necessary.
• Checking gaskets. Replace gaskets if they are not intact or have softened.
• Checking of heat insulating material and possibly replacement.
• Checking of the bottom/shaking grate.
All service checks must be performed by an authorised fitter. Use only original spare parts
Inside cleaning
Before chimney sweeping can be performed, the regulation lever must be moved all the way down to
prevent soot and ash from entering the automatic control.
The smoke shelf and baffle plate is to be removed from the stove before cleaning (Drawing F).
• First lift the smoke shelf (1) out of the steel rail (2) at the back of the combustion chamber. Next, lower
it beneath the holders (3) and slide it out.
• Lift each half of the steel smoke plate (4) off the holder (5) behind the smoke pipe, and remove them
from the hook (6) beneath the top plate.
