regulator filter opening in order to collect the oil
contained in the regulator,
- remove the filter cover plate located under the
regulator (# 4 of fig. 8) with a screwdriver,
- remove the tubular filter from the regulator. Clean, if ne
it with oil using a soft brush, never a wire-brush,

• Clean all the enamelled panels of the stove with a dry
or slighly damp soft cloth.
• Use a soft clean cloth to wipe the front glass when the
unit is running at a low burning rate. When the main
door is opened for cleaning, the flame will be disturb,
and turn to a yellow flame. Clean quickly, but gently.
Close the door, the flame will return to a normal burning
position.
N.B. :The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
