8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Basic information
Note
When you vacuum clean around the stove ensure that you do not
vacuum into the combustion air intake during heating operation�
You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Your stove must be cooled before any maintenance work is
performed�
Type Rikatronic3: Only work on the unit when it is switched off and
the mains plug has been disconnected�
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the
maintenance intervals depend on the fuel you use� High moisture
content, ash, dust and chips may more than double the maintenance
required� Only use wood that has been stored properly and is dry
and untreated�
Tip
Wood as fertiliser - the mineral content of the wood remains in the
combustion chamber as ash as a residue of the combustion� This is
an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden; it is a completely
natural product� The ash should be stored first and slaked with
water
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers!
Cleaning the combustion chamber
The combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to
ensure an adequate supply of air� If you tilt the grate, you can sweep
the ashes with a broom in the ash tray� You can also use an ash
vacuum cleaner
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE
RISK!
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly� The ash drawer is simply pulled
forward with the combustion chamber door open�
Cleaning the flame temperature sensor
(only type RIKATRONIC3)
Remove the dust deposits from the sensor at regular intervals� Use a
clean cleaning cloth or newspaper
Cleaning the door glass
The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth� Stubborn dirt can
be removed with a special cleaner (free from corrosive acids and
solvents - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the glass surface)
available from your stove dealer� Usual cleaners containing acid or
solvents can be too harsh and damage the glass�
Note
Never use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the
wooden door handle, these will damage the wood�
Cleaning painted surfaces
Wipe the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub� Do not
use solvent-containing cleaners�
