Chimney draft is created by the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of
the chimney. The higher the temperature inside the chimney, the better the chimney draft.
It is therefore very important that the chimney is thoroughly heated before you close the
primary damper and limit combustion inside the stove; see the section on lighting and ring
your WIKING wood-burning stove. Please be aware that it takes longer to heat a brick chimney
than a steel chimney.
On days when weather and wind conditions create a poor draft in the chimney, it is especially
important to heat up the chimney as quickly as possible. When lighting, use extra-nely split
rewood and an extra relighter, as ames quickly heat up the stove.
After a Longer Period of Disuse
If you have not used your wood-burning stove in a while (e.g. for an entire summer season),
it is important to check for blockage in the chimney duct. Contact your local chimney sweep.
Connecting Several Heating Sources to the Same Chimney
It is possible to connect several units to some chimneys. All applicable regulations must rst
be consulted, in your building code and with your local chimney sweep.
Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney re:
Close all dampers in the stove and chimney and immediately call the re department.
Before using the wood-burning stove again, your local chimney sweep must rst inspect the
chimney.
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Wood-Burning Stove
Warning: Cleaning and maintenance of your wood-burning stove may only be performed
when it is cool.
External Cleaning
The outside of your stove can be dusted as needed with a soft cloth or dust brush. Do not use
water, spirit or any other kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Cleaning the Glass Door
Your WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with a pane-ush system, which reduces the
build-up of soot on the glass. If soot somehow accumulates on the pane, it can be cleaned by
wiping the glass with a moist paper towel dipped in ash. Afterwards, dry with a clean paper
towel. You should also ensure that air gaps in the door frame are free of ash and soot particles.
Also ensure that the seals on the stove are soft and fully intact; if they are not, ”false” air can
enter the stove, which makes it more difcult to control combustion and can in turn cause
overheating or soot accumulation. Faulty or worn seals should therefore be replaced and can
be purchased at your local wood-burning stove dealer.
Emptying the Ash Pan
Important: Be aware that embers in the ash can remain hot for up to 24 hours after the re
in the stove has gone out! The ash pan is most easily emptied by pulling a waste bag over the
pan, turning the pan upside down, and then carefully pulling it up and out of the bag again.
