Part 5: Cleaning & Maintenance (Puhdistus)

To keep this as the "best" stove, clean it weekly during heating season.

  1. Glass Door Cleaning: Use a damp paper towel dipped in cold ash. Rub gently, then wipe with a clean dry cloth. Do not use chemicals.
  2. Internal Baffle Check: Once a month, remove the upper baffle plate (fire bricks). Soot falls down. Burn it hot for 30 minutes after replacing.
  3. Gasket Inspection: The door rope seal should be soft. If it is hard or falling off, replace it (8mm diameter rope).
  4. Chimney Sweep: Rosenlew recommends sweeping the connecting pipe twice a year.

Part 6: Troubleshooting Common Problems

| Problem | Likely Cause | Best Fix | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Hard to light / Smoke in room | Cold flue or closed damper | Open flue damper. Preheat chimney by burning a rolled newspaper inside the stove with door closed. | | Glass turns completely black | Wet wood or too little secondary air | Open secondary air damper. Use wood with <20% humidity. | | Stove doesn't heat the room | Ash build up in bottom grate | Empty ash box and poke the grate holes clean. | | Rust spots on cast iron | Condensation from cold storage | Rub with fine steel wool, then coat with stove black polish or high-heat linseed oil. | Sähkö: Kytke laite maadoitettuun pistorasiaan
