MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
CAUTION!
All cleaning operations of all parts should be
performed while the closed fireplace is completely
cold.
6.1.
CLEANING UNDER THE USER'S
RESPONSIBILITY
6.1.1.
Cleaning the glazing
To clean the glazing, you may use specific products (see our price list),
a cloth dipped in water and ammonia solution or a little white ash and a
sheet of newspaper.
To open the flap-opening door (
figure 14) and to clean the glazing
FULLY LOWER THE GLAZING
and open the door as shown in the
figure using the cold hand supplied.
To close the flap-opening door reverse the stages described above.
WARNING: WHEN OPENING THE FLAP-OPENING DOOR AND,
IN PARTICULAR, WHEN CLOSING PRESS THE HANDLE GENTLY
WITHOUT APPLYING PRESSURE.
FOR EXAMPLE, LIGHTING FORCING THE DOOR WHEN
CLOSING IT MAY CAUSE THE GLASS TO BANG AGAINST THE
LEDGE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CLOSED FIREPLACE AND
BREAK IT.
CAUTION!
Do not spray the cleaner onto the painted parts or
onto the seals of the door (ceramic fibre cord)
6.1.2.
Ash removal
Ash must be removed when the closed fireplace is switched off and
cold.
We recommend that you clean the fire place appropriately for correct
combustion. Use a metal utensil and, if necessary, a brush to remove
ash from the fire plane and place the ash in non-flammable containers
for transportation.
Hot ashes must not be stored outside unsupervised or thrown
into the rubbish bin. Allow the ash to cool in a metal container
in the open air
.
6.1.3.
Cleaning refractory walls (ALUTEC
®
)
These walls do not require any cleaning as the characteristics of the
material (ALUTEC
®
)prevent soot from being absorbed and push it away
when the combustion chamber is hot. Following the start-up stage, in
which the combustion chamber tends to blacken, the refractory walls
tend whiten again, starting from the base of the flame when the
temperature in the combustion chamber rises (~ 400 °C).
