9.1 General maintenance
Glass
Soot and dust can easily be removed using a damp cloth that you dip in cold ash and rub on the sooty glass.
Special cleaning agents are also available to remove soot from the glass, e.g., the Aduro Easy Clean pad.
The pad neither scratches nor damages the glass, and it can be used multiple times. Water or other cleaning
agents are not necessary.
It is common maintenance to tighten the glass fittings shortly after the stove has been installed as well as to
check if the gaskets are properly placed.
Gaskets
With time, gaskets around glass and door will wear. We recommend that you inspect them regularly. If
leakages appear, they must be replaced.
Flue pipe
Annual cleaning of the flue pipe is essential as dust may cover the pipes – especially the horizontal ones.
Use the inspection doors and T-fittings to reach all parts of the flue pipe.
Make sure that the dust released from the pipe during chimney sweeping does not reach and contaminate
the exhaust fan.
After the last use before a longer period of inactivity, make sure to:
•
Clean the stove properly
•
Remove any remaining pellets from the pellet container
•
Completely empty the auger for pellets
•
Unplug the power cable
9.2 Daily and monthly cleaning/maintenance
Daily
Clean the brazier thoroughly to avoid residues of ashes and partly burnt pellets.
We recommend emptying the ash tray and to vacuum clean the combustion chamber and the door (around
the gaskets) on a daily basis.
Upon every ignition, the brazier must be checked for ashes and unburnt/partly burnt pellets.
Monthly
Once a month, the baffle plate and the back plate inside the combustion chamber should be removed in
order to enable the cleaning of the covered parts. Use an ash vacuum cleaner and, if necessary, a soft brush
or dry cloth.
Once a month, the box below the combustion chamber needs to be cleaned with an ash vacuum cleaner.
Unscrew the 4 bolts to remove the maintenance door. After cleaning, make sure the baffle plate inside is
positioned correctly and the cover plate closes tightly.
