18.2 CLEANING OF THE GLASS 
 
Thanks  to  a  specific  entry  of  the  secondary  air,  the  building  of  deposit  on  the  glass  of  the  door  is 
slowed  down  in  a  remarkable  way.  However,  the  building  of  the  deposits  cannot  be  avoided  with 
the use of solid fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered a defect of the appliance. 
 
IMPORTANT: 
 
The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold appliance to 
avoid the glass breaking.
 Do not use abrasive or chemically aggressive products when cleaning the 
hearth glass. 
 
GLASS BREAKING: Considering that the glass is manufactured for temperatures up to 700 
°C it should not be subjected to thermal shocks. The break can be caused by mechanic shocks, 
 (hits  or  violent  closure  of  the  door,  etc.).  Therefore,  its  replacement  is  not  included  in  the 
warranty. 
 
 
 
18.3    CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER 
 
 
The stove has a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of ashes. We suggest you to empty 
periodically the ash drawer and to avoid filling it up totally, in order not to overheat the grate.  
ATTENTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in  a container made of fire-
resistant material equipped with an air-tight cover. The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant 
floor. Use accessory tools for ash drawer discharge. 
The accessory tools are used also for ember and ash drawer dispersion, as shown in the picture.
