Regular maintenance
Be careful !
Wait until the stove has cooled
down completely before carrying out
maintenance.
Maintenance of the metal
components
Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
Please note
Clean with a dry rag. A paint spray
supplied with the stove means
you can retouch the paintwork if
necessary. When you do this, start
on a test surface to avoid spraying
solvent on the old paintwork.
The surface to be repainted must
be smooth, clean, dry and free
from grease. Please also read the
instructions on the paint spray.
Cleaning the glass / Cleaning of
glasses
The use of oven cleaning products will
cause rapid destruction of the seals.
Use cleaning products intended for
ordinary glass to clean the inside of
the glass door.
Dry the pane thoroughly as smoke
settles on greasy residue.
Stûv supplies a product suitable for
cleaning very dirty stoves (Isyour
wood dry enough ?). Ask your
distributor for advice.
MAINTENANCE
Removal of ashes
Leave a bed of ashes at the bottom
of the stove as this encourages
combustion and still contains some
fuel.
Ashes must be removed when :
– there is a risk of obstructing the
fire's supply of fresh air [photo 2].
– the burning embers risk damaging
the glass door's inside seal.
Deterioration of this kind is
not covered by the guarantee
[photo 3].
Wait until the ashes have cooled (use
a shovel or special vacuum cleaner
for ashes) and put them outside in a
metal bucket until they have cooled
completely.
Quick maintenance of the flue
Stûv recommends the use of a product
that decomposes soot after every
15times of use, in particular if you are
burning wood that is not particularly
dry. Please refer to the instructions for
use of the product. Use a product that
is compatible with the type of flue.
