to maintain your stove.

When the stove is not used

• Close all doors and air inlets in summer season

• Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a 

humid space. 

Yearly maintenance

• Have your chimney properly cleaned by a qualified 

chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons 

and any fire insurance.

• Have the flue gas outlet and the combustion air supply 

of the double-walled flue tube system checked for air-

tightness every year. 

• Have the complete tube system checked every year; 

this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just 

outside the wall. 

• Have the valves and/or flaps checked for their 

functioning.

• Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for 

wear and tear.

Safety

A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a 

comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home. Fire 

safety starts with a proper installation and a properly 

working flue tube. Your installer must therefore comply 

with the installation instructions as listed on page 23 and 

further. To burn your stove safely, the following points 

are important:

1. Burn your stove as much as possible with a closed 

door; it increases the output and is better for the 

environment. 

2. Prevent small children or the infirm from getting too 

close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone 

in the room when the stove is burning. You could use 

a fire-screen. 

3. Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials 

in the stove, as it may damage the fireplace beyond 

repair. 

4. If the floor around the fireplace is made of combustible 

material you must use a floor slab. The floor slab must 

have a minimum size of:

- 50 cm measured from the fireplace on the front side 

of the door:

- 30 cm measured from the fireplace on all sides from 

the door:. 

5. Do not place any combustible materials, such as 

curtains, wooden objects (cupboards, paintings) close 

to the fireplace or the flue tube. A minimum distance 

of 80 cm measured from the exterior of the stove and 

the flue tube is required. 

6. Never cover the chimney breast or mantelpiece with 

combustible material (e.g. paper covering).

7. Please bear in mind the points of the section on ‘the 

best way to burn your stove’, on page 21.

8. Have your stove repaired only by a certified installer 

and with original parts.
