the fire chamber and brush off the ash (using an ordinary fireside compan-

the contents properly.
• Please note that the embers can still be burning up to 24 hours later or
even longer!
• Cleaning the ceramic glass panel: The glass panel can be easily cleaned
using standard fireplace glass cleaner, which you can also obtain from
your specialist dealer. Finally, wipe the glass panel with a dry cloth (do
not smudge on the glass panel!). The glass fibre seals should not be
soaked with cleaning fluids!
• Varnished surfaces and the outer casing can be cleaned using a damp
cloth (do not use a microfiber cloth!).
• Glass surfaces can be cleaned using a standard glass cleaner and a soft
cloth (do not use a microfiber cloth!).
• Stainless steel surfaces can be cleaned using a standard stainless steel
cleaner. This is only to be applied in the direction of the finish!
• Natural stone surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth or correspond-
ing standard cleaner!
• Ceramic surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth or corresponding
standard cleaner!
Regularly remove dust from above and below the stove during the heating
season because the dust particles may burn or char. This can lead to soiling
of the installation room and the furniture within.
6.1.1 CLEANING THE WATER HEAT EXCHANGER IN
THE ambiente a4 H

O
Cleaning the water heat exchanger is essential. The stove can achieve its full
effectiveness when it is regularly and properly maintained/cleaned. As a general
rule, cleaning is to be carried out in a cooled-down state!
Because the water heat exchanger directly cools the exhaust gasses from the
ambiente a4 H
2
O and this inevitably leads to deposits forming on the water heat
exchanger, it is necessary to regularly clean it using the integrated cleaning
system. The cleaning process should be carried out weekly to avoid the cleaning
mechanism become locked in place (caused by e.g. condensation/sooting due
to non-functioning fittings or missing components etc.). A visual inspection of
the cleaning mechanism should be carried out every 4 weeks.
The frequency of the cleaning is also dependent on a variety of factors
(intensity of use, length of fire, fuel, “drawing” performance of chimney,
etc.) and it is not possible to
give general cleaning intervals. If
no significant deposits etc have
occurred after the first week of use
then the cleaning intervals can be
extended a little.
Cleaning process:
The operating handle is included
in the delivery of the stove and
should be inserted into the 20 mm
hole on the upper left side of the
stove for cleaning purposes. Once
