Remove the rear tiles, and finally the bottom
tile.
Remove the top tile first and then the side tiles.
Support the tiles at the rear so they do not fall
over when removing the side tiles.
Sequence for removing tiles: First, lift the top
tile, which will then cause the side tiles to fall
from their upright position. Be sure to lay these
tiles gently on the bottom tile so they don’t
break.

box door frame, you can use a mild solution of water and washing-up
liquid. Do not use any solvent-based cleaner.
CLEANING THE BAKING OVEN
The baking oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping it with a damp
cloth. Use a plastic scouring pad if necessary (metal scourers dam-
age the surface of the tiles). Check that the tiles have cooled before
cleaning. Be careful, as the tiles may still be very hot even the next
day after heating the fireplace. Be careful. Carefully remove the tiles
(pictures 2–4). Support the tiles while removing them so that they do
not fall and break. After washing and drying the tiles, put them back
in the following order: Start with the tiles on the rear wall. Next, put
the bottom tile in place. Then, place the side tiles on top of the base
(Picture 14). Hold the top tile against the top of the baking oven and
set the side tiles upright one at a time. The top tile ‘locks’ the side tiles
into place. Ease the side and top tiles gently forward to the front, to
the frame of the door. In this way the tiles will not prevent steam from
escaping through the steam hole at the rear. Remember to support the
tiles at the different stages to make sure they do not fall and break.

REGULAR SOOT REMOVAL
The fireplace must be cleaned regularly, at least once a year, to remove
the build-up of soot. The relevant national, regional and local regu-
lations must always be complied with when cleaning soot from the
fireplace. Protect the fireplace and its surroundings during sweeping.
Open the sweeping hatches carefully to prevent damaging their seals.
The sweeping hatches are behind the ash box (Picture 12). After soot
removal, make sure that the clean-outs and ash box are properly in
place. Close the maintenance door.
Troubleshooting
Mechanical ventilation can also cause air flow problems if the set-
tings are incorrect, especially in the case of mechanical extractors.
A powerful cooker hood can create localised low pressure, which will
weaken the air flow through the fireplace. Low pressure, moisture or
a strong wind can create unusual air flow conditions in the flue, ham-
pering use of the fireplace.
The draught is always weaker in low pressure conditions compared
with good weather or sub-zero temperatures. Condensation can easily
collect in the flue when the fireplace has not been used for some time.
In the summer, this problem can be overcome by keeping the damper
slightly open if your home is empty for a long while. This prevents the
moisture from condensing.
The reason for a poor flue draught in the fireplace can sometimes be
found close at hand. If the flue draught is poor when the wind blows
from a certain direction, the fault is not in the flue or the fireplace. It
may instead be caused by a nearby tree, dense forest, a large hill or
slope, or even the shape of the roof. To might solve the problem by
cutting down trees, increase the height of the chimney or simply not
using the fireplace during certain wind conditions.
When using more than one fireplace at the same time, make sure that
there is sufficient ventilation.
IF THERE IS INSUFFICIENT FLUE DRAUGHT OR THE FIREPLACE
SMOKES DURING USE:
• Switch off any ventilation systems, cooker hood or central vacu-
um cleaner.
• Check that the flue damper is open.
• Open an external door or a window.
• Open the firebox door very slightly.
• Check that the combustion air intakes are not blocked on the ex-
terior of the building if the combustion air is taken from outside.
• If none of the above helps, contact your chimney cleaner or an au-
thorised Tulikivi dealer.
IF THERE IS A CHIMNEY FIRE:
• Set the air control lever to the ‘closed’ position.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Contact the local fire brigade immediately, even if the chimney fire
has been put out.
• Do not attempt to extinguish the fire with water.
• After a chimney fire, a chimney cleaner must be called out to in-
spect both the fireplace and the flue before the fireplace is used
again.
