6.2 Paint
!Caution
Paint damage caused by objects falling/placed against the
stove’s casing is not covered by the warranty.
Minor damage to the paint can be retouched using the spray
supplied.
If, after some time, a rust spot appears on your stove, you can
remove this as follows:
●
Lightly rub the rust spot with fine steel wool;
●
Then spray the area with the supplied paint.
6.3 Baffle
plates
At the top of a wood burning stove you will find baffle plates
(see picture 4, P).
These plates increase the temperature in the stove and
consequently its efficiency. The plates can be replaced easily.
!Caution
Remove the baffle plates when sweeping the chimney.
!Caution
-
When sweeping the chimney check if the baffle plates are
broken, as they can break as a result of shocks;
-
When replacing the baffle plates check that they still fit
properly in their profiles.
●
Do not use the stove without the baffle plates.
●
Carefully replace the baffle plates in reverse order.
●
If necessary, replace a broken or badly fitting plate.
6.4
Door sealing wood burning stove
The door is sealed by means of a ceramic band or with a
stainless steel spring profile. Replace the ceramic band if there
is an air leak. In the event of an air leak more soot is deposited
on the glass. If, over time, a gap appears between the stainless
steel spring profile and the door you will be able to solve this
problem yourself.
!Caution
-
Check at least once per year that the profile is sealing
correctly.
Repair is done as follows:
●
Open the door.
●
Place the palm of your hand on the edge of the door and
press your fingertips against the underside of the profile
(see picture 5).
●
Push your fingertips towards the palm of your hand to allow
the profile to regain its round shape.
●
Set the profile in such a way that the door re-seals correctly.
6.5 Vermiculite
plates
On the bottom and against the side walls of a wood burning
stove you will find heat-resistant vermiculite plates. These
plates reflect the heat, have an insulating function and protect
the steel-plate walls of the wood burning stove. If any cracks
appear, e.g. because of the extreme heat in the stove, this is
not a problem. If, however, the plates are falling apart, they
should be replaced.
!Caution
-
Check the vermiculite plates at least once per year for
cracks.
!Tip
-
Keep the old plate(s), so you can check the size of the new
plate(s).
●
Remove the broken plate(s).
●
Fit the new plate(s) in reverse order.
6.6 Glass
A glass window made of ceramic material is incorporated into
the stove. This pane is fitted to the door by means of profiles or
lips. The glass must be replaced when it is cracked/broken.
!Caution
-
Regularly check the glass for cracks.
!Tip
-
Do not overtighten the nuts;
-
A broken ceramic window can be disposed of with normal
household
rubbish.
Please, do not discard of the pane into the glass container
as the ceramic material has a much higher melting
temperature than normal glass.
