Cleaning the fireplace
Removing ash
In order to prevent obstruction of the combustion air inlet grille, it is necessary to regularly empty the ash pit
located under the cast iron grate.
Collect the ash in a specially designed recipient (inflammable and fitted with a cover) - the presence of
residual embers can cause a fire.
For safety reasons, it is preferable to store the ashes outside.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the metal parts of the fireplace.
Tip
:
Your ashes can be used as compost for your garden.
Cleaning the bricks
Clean with a brush then apply linseed oil.
Cleaning the cast iron grate
Use a wire brush then rub with household oil to make it shine.
