MAINTENANCE AND
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
The inside of the firebox can also be
accessed from the bottom by extracting-
pushing up the cast-iron grille and
removing the refractories and the ashpit.
Clean the area of ash through the hollow
left after removal (use a vacuum cleaner if
necessary).
Clean the firebox area of ash. Clean the
deflector, where soot may build up.
4.1.3. Flue socket
The flue socket area must always be
kept clean 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. Painted sheet-steel-cast-iron parts.
These parts should be cleaned with a
brush or dry cloth. Do not dampen the
parts: the steel could rust and the paint
could blister and chip. Be particularly
careful when cleaning the glass: the liquids
used must not dampen the painted steel.
4.1.5. Firebox glass
To keep the glass as clean as possible
for as long as possible, the secondary air
register should be kept open. However,
over the hours of use, the glass may
become dirty. To clean it, we will use
specific degreasing products or dry
cleaning products for this task.
The cleaning should be carried out with
the glass cold and taking care not to apply
the glass cleaner directly on the glass as, if
it comes into contact with the door's
closing cord, it may deteriorate. Put the
cleaning product on the cloth.
Caution, the vitro ceramic glass is
prepared to support 700ºC. Never let
burning woods or combustion flame
beating against the glass for prolonged
periods of time. In this case, the glass
would be submit to temperatures above
750ºC, this could change the internal
structure of the glass and make it opaque
(irreversible phenomenon).
Attention, never let the product drip
into the lower part of the glass. The
accumulation of the cleaning product, with
soot or ash residues, can damage the
screen printing on the glass.
Note: If we use the appliance in draught
conditions higher than 15Pa or burn more
wood (per hour) than those indicated in
table 1.1, we will subject the appliance to
working conditions higher than those
designed for it. This can lead to aggressive
fouling of the glass (white halo), which
cannot be cleaned by the traditional
method.
4.1.6. Air intake registers
In the air intake for combustion
registers, remains of ash, sawdust, cleaning
fluids, etc. may accumulate, which restrict
or hinder its movement. In these cases,
they should be released and cleaned.
