hi I have a 92 austroflamm integra it keeps shutting itself down mostly when it's at a low setting chimney and unit have been completely cleaned ?????
 
I would suspect your low limit snap disc/proof of fire disc is no longer sensing temps well. You can test by temporarily by-passing switch. Make sure you unplug stove before working in the cabinet. Usually a fairly cheap fix if the switch is gone...

The other potential is a vacuum switch isn't closing. Cracked/broken hose? May be door seal needs replacing (dollar bill test); hopper if it has a seal? Clean-outs are in place and secured.
 
92, not sure if that may be a positive pressurized stove vs vacuum but if it's the later I'd definitely start off by checking door gaskets. It will be self evident if the door gaskets are bad on a positive pressure stove, they will leak smoke.

I replaced them last night and it shut off over the night

Then I would direct you towards Lake Girl's message and thoughts on the matter.
