MAINTENANCE AND 4.
IMPORTANT ADVICE
4.1. Maintenance of the appliance
The appliance, the flue connector piping
and the flue must be cleaned regularly,
particularly following long periods without
use.
4.1.1. Firebox
Clean the firebox area of ash, etc.
4.1.2. Inside the appliance
Clean the firebox area of ash. Clean the
deflectors, where soot may build up.
4.1.3. Flue socket
The flue socket area must be kept clean
at all times for the appliance to work
properly.
It must be cleaned as often as required.
How often it is cleaned depends on how
much the appliance is used and the type of
fuel employed.
4.1.4. Firebox glass
Keep the secondary-air intake open to
keep the door glass cleaner for longer.
However, the glass may get dirty the
longer the appliance is used. Special
degreasing products designed for the
purpose should be used to clean it.
Clean when the glass is cold and taking
care not to apply the glass cleaner directly
onto the glass as it could come into
contact with the door-seal cord and
damage it.
Also make sure that the cleaning liquid
does not enter the moving part of the
intake mechanism; it may block the
mechanism.
4.2. Maintenance of the chimney
flue
VERY IMPORTANT: In order to avoid
incidents (chimney fires, etc.), it is
necessary to perform maintenance and
cleaning operations on a regular basis; if
the appliance is used often, then the
chimney and the flue connector piping
must be swept several times a year.
In the event of fire in the chimney,
close the flue draught, close doors and
windows, remove embers from the firebox,
block the connection hole with damp
cloths and call the fire brigade.
