6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
IMPORTANT! Lack of cleanliness can interfere with the starting up and
the normal, efficient operation of the stove, and can cause various
emergency modes.
Therefore, please, observe the cleaning and maintenance instructions,
using safety gloves for these tasks.
6.1. Daily cleaning.
Must be done before each ignition.

Cleaning the firepot
Open the firebox door when the appliance is completely shut down. Lift up the firepot
( Fig.4 ) and dump the ash into the ash pan. Clean its openings from any carbon deposits.
The firepot should be very carefully and accurately replaced back to its holding box until
well seated. Incorrect placement results in excess combustion air passing around it
seriously deteriorating the combustion process.
Fig.4 Fig.5
In order to avoid entailing ash from the ash pan to be discharged into the atmosphere
during the stove operation, we recommend disposing the ash content on a daily basis.

Cleaning flue pipes of the water jacket
These are not directly accessible, and therefore their cleaning is performed using an
inbuilt mechanism ( Fig.5 ). Clean their surfaces using the special lever provided moving it
back and forth several times. This operation must be performed with the flue gas fan
operating .
