Cleaning
SECTION FOR USERS
CONTROL PANEL
Wipe with a dry cloth. If there are stains, remove these with warm soapy water; do not
use detergent or scouring pads.
ENAMEL
Due to the fact that the enamel is sensitive to sudden changes in temperature, only clean
enamel sections when the appliance is cold or lukewarm (for example before reviving in
the morning) and only with a clean, dry cloth.
POLISHED TOP
This can be rubbed with an emery cloth to remove rust if necessary and wiped with a grea-
sy cloth to prevent the formation of this rust.
When in use, daily cleaning is essential for retaining an attractive appearance on top but
it is impossible to avoid the hot plates on top of the firebox turning blue. Various products
are available to buy for cleaning polished surfaces.
If the appliance is not used for some times, it will be necessary to oil the surface.
FIREBOX
Depending on the fuel being used, the firebox will need more or less frequent cleaning.
Allow the fire to go out. De-ash thoroughly. If cinders have formed, remove the grate and
slide them underneath into the ash pan. Clean the grate slots if necessary. Empty the ash
pan.
CHIMNEY
To ensure the continued operation of the stove, the chimney must be properly maintai-
ned.
It must therefore be cleaned as often as required: the cleaning frequency will of course
depend on how the stove is used (continuously or intermittently, overnight or during the
day only), and on the quality of the fuel being used.
Remove all cast iron solid tops and clean them with the scraper.
Also scrape the chimney, the sides, the top and bottom of the oven. To access the latter,
remove the sweeping plate located on the surface beneath the oven (unscrew the two
knurled buttons). Place a shovel under the hatch opening and using the scraper push all
the soot dislodged during the cleaning onto it.
Then correctly replace all the parts removed.
