15.1 Cleaning fireplace insert, fuel gas flues
Fireplace insert & fuel gas flues (if present) must be cleaned at least 1 x per year in order to guarantee
economic and trouble-free operation. Ceramic and metal fuel gas glues are cleaned via the cleaning
openings provided for this purpose. The necessary work should be carried out by the manufacturer of
the system or an appropriate specialist company. For this purpose the conclusion of a maintenance
contract is recommended.
The chimney must likewise be regularly cleaned by the district master chimney sweeper. The latter will
inform you of the necessary intervals.
15.2 Removing ashes
• On a regular basis and in good time (at least 1 x per week) remove the ashes from the firebox.
–
If the firebox is not regularly cleaned of ash then there is a danger that the combustion air
openings become blocked and the appliance suffers damage.
To remove the ashes, proceed as follows:
NOTICE
Please note that when removing the ashes, embers could be in the firebox. Remove ashes only when
the fireplace insert is in a cold state.
1) Open the door.
2) Remove ashes with a shovel and brush or with an ash vacuum cleaner.
15.3 Cleaning
1) The fireplace insert may only be cleaned when cold.
2) Before cleaning the glass, the fireplace seat and floor covering must be covered.
3) Spray window with glass cleaner and leave it for a moment to take effect.
ð
We recommend cleaning the glass with our Austroflamm glass cleaner or a commercially
available window cleaner.
4) Rub off dissolved dirt with absorbent cloths or household paper.
5) Prevent door- or window seals from coming into contact with water or cleaner, since these will
otherwise harden and in doing so will no longer function properly. Only intact seals ensure that
your fireplace insert functions flawlessly.
