3. MAINTENANCE – always use original parts
Maintenance and cleaning of the stove should only be performed when the
stove is cold.
The daily maintenance is limited, but once a year the stove should get
thorough maintenance. The combustion chamber should be cleaned for ashes
and soot and the door hinges and the closing mechanism should be lubricated
with copper grease.
The surface is maintained by brushing it with a soft, long-haired brush or by
using the vacuum cleaner with a brush. The stove can also be dusted with a
duster. Always remember: only when the stove is cold.
Jointings can look okay, but they collapse under the heat and thereby lose the
ability to keep the stove sealed. Jointings should be changed as needed as it is
important to good combustion and a clean window that the stove is sealed.
The insulation plates in the combustion chamber that are broken or worn
can easily be changed as they are loosely fixed. The material used is called
Vermiculite and is a porous, but very suitable insulation material. It has no
effect on the stove’s efficiency that the insulation cracks. However, it should be
changed when the wear surpasses half of the original thickness.
Painting the stove with Senotherm-spray can cover spots or small scratches
from kettles and such. Larger damages needs to be ground with fine steel
wool, vacuumed and then sprayed. The can has to be shaken vigorously and
then sprayed on at a distance of 15-20 cm. It is very important that the stove
is not in use and completely cold before you use the spray due to the fire
hazard. In order to keep the stove’s varnished surfaces looking nice for years
to come you should try to avoid touching the varnished surfaces when the
stove is hot. Make sure to have sufficient ventilation when using spray paint.
Glass normally does not need any maintenance apart from cleaning. This is
most easily done by using TermaTech’s glass cleaner. Remember only to use
glass cleaner when the stove is cold.
Original parts which need to be changed due to wear can be found at your
dealer. Because of fit etc. only original parts from TermaTech should be used.
Right to claim compensation for defective product is under current law.
