11. CURRENT REPAIR
To prevent soot accumulation at the translucent screen (glass) it is necessary to clean it from time to time.
Accumulation of acidulous thin coating (of soot) will as the result erode and weaken the glass of the
translucent screen.
It is important to obey the following instructions so that the glass can be used for a long period of time.
On the regular basis inspect the glass for chips and cracks. Provided any cracks or chips are found immediately
put out the stove and address the manufacture for glass replacement issue.
Don't slam the door; don't otherwise hit the glass. When shutting the door make sure that billets and other
objects do not stick out from the fire chamber so that not to damage the glass.
Don't start up fire near the glass or in such a manner that during the burning process it may be close to the
glass.
When cleaning the glass do not use materials that can scratch or in other way damage the glass. Scratches on
the glass may during the use lead to glass destruction.
Never try to clean the glass while it is still hot. Before kindling the glass shall be completely dry.

manufacturer for the glass replacement issue.
A damage of a varnish-and-paint coating, at the time of operation, would lead to emergence of corrosion. It is
not the warranty case. The manufacturer recommends refreshing the paint of the carcass with a heat-proof
organosilicone enamel of type KO-868.
The built-in heat exchange unit undergoes the highest temperatures exposure that is why the metal it is made
of during the stove operation may change its shape or burned through. If such an event took place the heat
exchanging unit shall be replaced. Such damage appears as the result of breach of service instructions and is not a
warranty event.
