Cleaning of dust and loose ashes
Dust and ashes can accumulate in the air distributors, in the air supply ducts, and in the upper
part of the appliance. Depending on the quality of the wood used and the way the stove is used,
this cleaning can be performed annually, or at longer intervals. Most importantly, these dusts do
must not obstruct more than one third of the cross sections (air and smoke passages).
To clean the appliance properly, remove the internal components: vermiculite baffle plate,
floor, blockholder set, sides, back, and rear distributor. See chapter "Installation: inner
elements".
Once these elements have been cleaned, clean the bottom and top of the heating element by
sucking up any dust.
Then reassemble all the components.
Refractory plates
No maintenance is required.
A slotted plate can still play its protective role. However, a missing piece will require replacing
the plate in order to keep the heating element effectively protected. The plates are wear parts
that can be easily and individually replaced.
We recommend replacing a part if it is excessively damaged.
The colour of these plates can be altered by high temperatures reached inside the fireplace
(+1000°C). This change in colour does not affect the protection and insulation qualities of the
material.
Fan
Disassemble the fans (M5 screws with 8 mm socket) and clean the impeller blades with a dry
brush. Compressed air is prohibited. Then reassemble the whole unit.
Door adjustment
Over time, the door seal may become slightly crushed. It may be necessary to readjust the
locking system after one or a few years.
To make this adjustment, remove the right side cover. Using a 10mm spanner, slightly loosen
the 2 nuts of the locking system, move the part back slightly, and then tighten the 2 nuts.
The door should close easily and be tight.
It may also be necessary to adjust the position of the bracket which presses the door switch, so
that the door knob "clicks" just before the door is completely closed. Be careful, if this bracket is
badly adjusted and goes too far, it may break the switch or the electronic board.
Air box
Ashes may accumulate in the air box.
