Ash pan
The ash pan must be emptied before it is full. The ash pan support plate can be used as a lid
during the transport of ashes.
Before putting the ash pan back in place, check that there are no ashes accumulated behind.
Remove these with the support plate if necessary.
When the ash pan is put back in place, check that the door closes properly.
Air distributors
If necessary, unclog the air inlet holes of the stainless steel air distributors with a hoover.

Annual maintenance
Mechanical sweeping
Soot removal has to be carried out at least once a year. It is a legal obligation. This operation is
essential to ensure the safety of the installation.
Remove the vermiculite baffle plate to sweep from the bottom of the duct (through the
appliance). To do so, lift it up 1cm and move it towards you.
Take advantage of the sweeping operation to check the condition of the chimney and that of
the connection.
Once the sweeping has been completed, replace the baffle plate.
Greasing
A small pack of high-temperature grease is supplied with the appliance.
In frequent use, it is recommended to grease the hinges carefully and without excess.
(!) Use high-temperature resistant silicone grease (available from your retailer), otherwise it will
dry out and cause the moving parts to jam.
If necessary, clean the surfaces thoroughly before greasing.
Painting of metal parts
Soiled areas can be cleaned with a conventional "non-greasy" product in small quantities
applied with a soft cloth.
Damaged areas can be restored using Bodart & Gonay's high-temperature spray paint, available
from your retailer.
Only by using this BG paint can you be sure of the same colour and chemical compatibility with
the original paint.
