7. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Basic information
Note
Your stove must be switched off and cooled before any maintenance work is
performed. Ensure that you do not vacuum into the combustion air line during
heating operation during any cleaning (vacuuming). You could vacuum out
embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Only work on the unit when the mains plug has been disconnected.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the heating season
to prevent excess odour.
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 ist 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 extinguished with water.
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers.
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly. The ash drawer is simply pulled forward with
the combustion chamber door open
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.
Note
Never use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the wooden door
handle, these will damage the wood.
Checking door seal
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at least 1 x per
year. Repair or replace seals depending on condition.
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly.
Cleaning of painted surfaces
Wipe of the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub. Do not use
solvent-containing cleaners.
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.
Combustion air - air intake
Also clean the air intake if necessary.
Note
Only when the stove is cold and not running!
Cleaning the flue gas channels
(1 x annually)
Remove the flue pipes. Inspect and clean chimney connection. Brush off any
soot and dust deposits in the fire and in the flue pipes and vacuum.
Note
Accumulated fly ash in the flue gas channels may impair the performance of
the stove and pose a safety risk.
