4. MAINTENANCE
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID. THE
CLOSED CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NONCOMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OR
ON THE GROUND, WELL AWAY FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL
DISPOSAL. IF THE ASHES ARE DISPOSED OF BY BURIAL IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE LOCALLY
DISPERSED, THEY SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE CLOSED CONTAINER UNTIL ALL CINDERS
HAVE THOROUGHLY COOLED.
Creosote formation and need for removal – When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to form creosote, The creosote vapors
condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote residue
accumulates on the flue lining; this creosote makes an extremely hot fire. The chimney and chimney
connector should be inspected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine
if creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk
of a chimney fire.
Cleaning of the stove:
The stove is cleaned with a moist cloth. Senotherm spray is available for repair of possible
damages/scratches. Your dealer has the right spray in the right color. As there may be minor color
differences, it is recommended to repair large areas with natural borders. You will get the best result if
the stove is repaired while it is lukewarm (if the stove is too hot the paint will be granular). Remember
a good airing during the repair. A possible change of color to gray is caused by over-firing, i.e. you
have used more wood than recommended.
Firebricks and baffle plate
Little cracks may arise in the firebricks and baffle plate because of a minor content of water, especially
if the stove is overheated during the first firing. These cracks do not influence the workability of the
stove and are not covered by the limited warranty.
DO NOT OPERATE THE STOVE WITHOUT FIREBRICKS AND BAFFLE PLATE PROPERLY
INSTALLED OR WARRANTY WILL BE VOIDED
