* You should only open the door during reloading. Normal conditions of
use require the door to remain closed;
* Reload before the previous load has burnt completely, in order to make it
easier for the combustion to continue;
* Use of the unit is not recommended when weather conditions are so bad
that the draught is seriously affected (particularly when there are very
strong winds).
4. Safety
* The ventilators should always be connected to the power supply (where
applicable);
* You should take care to not lay the cable where it may be crushed;
* The exposed metal parts reach high temperatures - 212°F (100°C) on the
door and 140°F (60°C) on the frame. The door handle does
not
reach
temperatures above 113°F (45°C). Do not touch the hotter areas;
* You should use a glove or other protection if you have to touch the unit
when it is in operation;
* In case of
fire in the flue, immediately close the door, flue damper
(where applicable)
and air intake
;
* If there is a power cut, resulting in the ventilators cutting out when the
unit is in operation, close the combustion air intake and do not load the unit
with any more firewood. Keep the door closed;
* We recommend you only use spare parts supplied by the manufacturer
–
SOLZAIMA.
5. Cleaning and Maintenance
* You should remove ash from the drawer on a regular basis (after the unit
is switched off), so that the combustion air can enter through the ash grate
unobstructed;
* The window should be cleaned with a suitable product,
5
by following the
instructions for use and not allowing the product to come into contact with
the sealing string and painted metal parts, which could initiate oxidation.
The sealing string is glued; therefore it should not be moistened with water
or cleaning products. If it becomes detached, it can be reattached with
contact glue after cleaning the groove with fine sandpaper;
* You should not clean the cast or plate iron parts with detergents. These
should be cleaned with just a dry cloth to remove the dust and you may
treat the cast iron parts with a special polish
6
as often as you feel
necessary.
* We advise you to clean the flue and flue throat (at the exit of the unit) at
least once a year. This can be done by removing the baffle plate
(removable plate in the ceiling of the combustion chamber);
* If you do not use the unit for a prolonged period, check to make sure that
the flue pipes are clear before lighting it;
