Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is
dust the stove using a dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do
not use water, spirit or any other kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be
cleared of ashes and soot. The hinges and the closing hook must be greased with liquid cop-
onto the hinge leaf.

then carefully removing it from the bag. Ashes are disposed of via the domestic waste col-
lection.
Please note that there may be embers in the ashes for up to 24 hours after the re has
