4. MAINTENANCE
To clean the glass, first spray the cleaning product on a cloth and then proceed to clean the glass only, without
wetting the rest of the door. Window-cleaners and special products often contain chemicals that attack the paint
and the ceramic fibre seals and cause oxidation of the metal parts.
It is very important not to wet the wood burner with window-cleaner, water or special cleaning products.
Heatproof paint is not waterproof.
Clean the paintwork with a feather duster or a soft, dry cloth. If over time you want to repaint the insert, the
manufacturer makes a spray paint available from your dealer.
5. TIPS, CHIMNEY SWEEPING AND SECURITY NORMS
Whenever a wood burner is used there are certain risks. Therefore, the following indications should be considered:
 Periodically the chimney conduct and hood should be swept, and the device itself together with the
connections should be cleaned. All should be maintained clean and in a good state, as creosote build-up in the
chimney could cause fires.

Keeping the chimney conduct clean is of vital importance. The chimney should be cleaned periodically,
depending on the frequency of use and the type and humidity of the fuel used.

The maintenance of the appliance and the sweeping of the chimney should be done by a qualified professional.
 In case of chimney fire, immediately close the air inlets and use an extinguisher or call the fire department.

The stove will become very hot when you light it. Don’t touch the stove without protection during firing and for
two hours after.
 Warn children of the danger of burns.

Children or the infirm are not allowed to use the stove.

Do not modify the appliance without authorisation and use only original spare parts.

There should be adequate supply of air to the space where the stove is installed, both for combustion and
convection air. The air grates should never be blocked.

Don’t smother the fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out, consuming the wood load.

The appliance must be installed on floors with sufficient bearing capacity.

Remove cooled ashes from the stove when the fire is out.
Using an ash bucket is recommended
Back: 50 cm.
as there may be burning embers in the ashes.

Observe the minimum safety distances
from nearby combustible materials:
Front 50 cm

Do not use flammable liquids for lighting, maintain them far from the chimney.
 Flammable materials cannot be used in the installation: neither touching the stove, nor in the interior of the
chimney chamber.

On days with adverse draught conditions (low atmospheric pressure, heavy frosts), when the flue is very cold or
in chimneys with a poor draught, you can help the draught to start before lighting the fire by heating the flue:
1 Prepare the wood for lighting inside the heater.
2. Place a firelighter or a sheet of newspaper on the deflector at the start of the flue and set fire to it.
3. After a few seconds, when the chimney draught starts, light the wood as instructed.
