Heating in-between seasons
Heating the stove in between seasons, when the
outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may
not be able to escape completely and this may lead to
disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the
temperatures are rising suddenly. The stove has to
be charged with less wood and the primary air has to
be increased so that the wood can burn down faster
(with visible flames) and thus the chimney flue can
stabilize.
Chimney fire
A chimney fire may occur, due to sooting and
deposits in the chimney, if wrong or humid fuel is
used. Close all air inlets on the fireplace/chimney
immediately and call the fire brigade. Please have an
expert inspect your chimney for cracks and air-
tightness after the burning out of the chimney.

Memory System for heat storage from your certified dealer.
IMPORTANT: Have defective parts replaced by your certified dealer only. This will guarantee that your
stove functions properly and safely.
The fireplae must not be amended.
Maintenance
To clean the glass, please use a specialized product such as Thermohit glass cleaner. Lacquered
surfaces are to be cleaned only with a cloth (may be damp). Special cleaning agents should also be used
for stainless steel surfaces.
Cleaning
The stove, flue outlets and smoke pipes should be cleaned and inspected for deposits every year – if
necessary more often, e.g. after the cleaning of the chimney. The chimney also has to be cleaned
regularly by the chimneysweeper. Your chimneysweeper will inform you of the necessary inspection
intervals. An expert should inspect the stove annually.
