If the opaque mark /frosting, doesn’t come out, contactyour dealer for a special remover.Paint finishThe appliance has been coated with a high temperature paint which can last for years.Do not clean with a damp cloth or any cleaning products as they can cause rust or discol-ouration. Only clean when cold use a brush with soft bristles or dust with a lint free clothOnly re-spray when necessary.The wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep twice ayear. During cleaning and care, the stove must be cold.Cleaning the combustion chamber:Scrape/shovel the ash out and store it in a non-flammable container until it has cooleddown. You can dispose of ash with your normal household waste.REMEMBER!! Never remove all the ashes from the combustion chamber - the wood willburn at its best with a layer of ashes of approx. 20 mm.Prolonged period of non-use:If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be givena thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow ofair through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the aircontrols fully open.Prior to a new heating season, it should be checked that the chimney and smoke gasconnector are not blocked.
