7. 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 Rikatronic4: 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!
Opening of the door
Cleaning the combustion chamber
The combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to ensure an
adequate supply of air. If you remove the grate, you can sweep the ashes with
a broom in the ash tray. You can also use an ash vacuum cleaner.
only type RIKATRONIC4:
Remove the grate and vacuum out the ignition sled and the pipe of the ignition.
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 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.
Cleaning the flame temperature sensor
(only type Rikatronic4)
Remove the dust deposits from the sensor at regular intervals. Use a clean
cleaning cloth or newspaper.
Cleaning the convection air openings
Vacuum clean any dust deposits from the convection air openings at regular
intervals.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the heating season
to prevent excess odour.
Combustion air - intake
If necessary, please also clean the air intake with a hoover.
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Cleaning the flue pipes
Annually!
Remove the flue pipes. Inspect and clean the 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.
Checking door seal
Annually!
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at least once
a year. Repair or replace seals depending on condition.
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly!
