10.1. External maintenance
The fireplace surface is painted with heat-resistant paint. It is best kept clean by vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or by wiping with a
lint-free cloth. Over a period of time, the painted surface may become slightly grey. A canister of touch-up ARTE
® spray paint should be
available from your fireplace supplier. This can be applied - in accordance with the instructions - in just a few minutes. When first firing, after
touching up, the fireplace will give off a slight smell as the paint cures. Make sure to ventilate the room well during this phase.
10.2. Internal maintenance
10.2.1. Ash disposal
Empty the excess ash as often as necessary in order for the level to remain below the appropriate
(Pic. 10.2.1.1) . SOL fireplace is designed to produce the least amount of ash, almost 1Kg for every
100Kgs of firewood. It is recommended to constantly maintain a layer of ash with thickness of 1-2 cm
at the base of the combustion chamber for added insulation.
Dispose the ash by following these steps:
Open the main door and use a small shovel or a scoop to remove the excess ash.
Dispose the ash in a metallic container with a tight lid
The closed container with the ash should be placed on a nonflammable floor or on the ground, away
from flammable materials until the final disposal of the ash. The ash must be stored in a closed
container until cooled down, or buried on the ground or dispersed somewhere.
10.2.2. Glass
ARTE® NIREAS fireplace has a single ceramic glass in the window of the combustion chamber in order to receive as much heat as possible by
radiation. If the fireplace is generally operated at the correct temperature, there should be little or no soot on the glass.
For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with warm water and add some ash from the combustion chamber. Rub it over the glass and
then clean the glass with clean water and dry it well. For heavier deposits that cannot be cleaned, use glass cleaner, applied when the glass
is cold, in accordance with the instructions.
Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass surface.
Reasons for the presence of dirt on the glass
Firewood is too wet
Logs are too large or not split
Combustion temeratures are too low
If there is a need to replace the glass, it should be replaced with the high temperature ceramic glass supplied by ARTE ® . For more information,
please contact your local ARTE ® dealer.

To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid
striking the glass or slamming the door.
Replace broken glass IMMEDIATELY.
Do not operate the fireplace if the glass in the
door is damaged.
Never empty a fireplace while in use.
Never use your household or shop vacuum
cleaner to remove ash from the fireplace.

Due to the self-closing door you should be very careful for
any accidents during the maintenance of the fireplace
When performing maintenance on the fireplace, always
protect yourself, using safety goggles and gloves
