It is essential to keep the grate free from a heavy build

R E M E M B E R T O B U R N S M O K E L E S S F U E L
CORRECTLY, AlR SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO FLOW
FROM THE ASH PIT AREA THROUGH THE GRATE
AND THROUGH THE FUEL. IF THE GRATE OR ASH
PAN ARE CONGESTED, THE PERFOMANCE WILL
BE EFFECTED.
If burning smokeless fuel always empty the ash pan at
least once a day or whenever it is full of ashes. Never
allow the ashpan to overfill allowing ash to be in contact
with the underside of the grate. If this condition is
allowed, the grate will wear out pre-maturely.
3.5. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important
: In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly.
If the appliance is regularly used, the chimney
should be swept several times per year, together
with the stovepipe connection section. If the
chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys, remove the embers from the stove, stop up
the connection hole with wet cloths and call the Fire
Brigade.
Chimney condition should be checked at least once per
year by a professional engineer.
3.6. Maintenance of the stove body
•
The stove must be regularly cleaned.
•
Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
•
The vitro ceramic glass can only be cleaned using a
soft cloth and stove glass cleaner, available from your

after a long period of disuse.
•
The appliance must not be used with a flue serving
several appliances.
