17. OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, or if there is a
sudden increase of temperature it can happen that the combustion gases inside the fl ue
cannot be completely sucked out.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case,
shake the grating more frequently and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load
a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning and the stabilization of the
draft.
Then, check whether all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack
are air-tight. In case of doubt, do not operate the stove.
18. CLEANING
Let the installation of your stove, the connection to chimney and the ventilation be
checked by your chimney sweeper. For the cleaning of enameled surfaces use soap water
or non-aggressive and materials who are not chemically abrasive. Clean the glass with a
detergent and water, and the glass has to be dry prior using the stove. Do not use abrasive
matters that can damage the glass surface.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to use exclusively spare parts clearly authorized and
off ered by the manufacturer. In case of need please apply to our dealer!
THE APPLIANCE CAN NOT BE MODIFIED WITHOUT PRODUCER’S CONSENT! Clean the
stove, pipes, and the fl ue regularly.
18.1 CLEANING OF THE FLUE
A correct lighting, the burning of a proper fuel, the loading of the suggested quantity
of fuel, the right adjustments of the secondary air control, the suffi
cient draught of the
chimney and the presence of air for the combustion, are essential for the good operation
of the appliance.
The appliance must be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is
needed (in case of bad working and low yield).The cleaning must be carried out exclusively
when the stove is cold.
This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously
perform an audit of the fl ue (checking possible deposits). During the cleaning, it is
necessary to remove from the appliance the ash drawer and the smokes pipes.
18.2 CLEANING OF THE GLASS
Thanks to a specifi c 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.
