CLEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS OF THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER’S DOOR
Eliminate all traces of soot on the inner side of the ceramic
glass using a soft cloth dampened with a little clean ash, or
with a suitable product in the event of stubborn traces of tar.
Dry well afterwards. Clean the outer side of the ceramic glass
with a damp cloth or, if necessary, with a little neutral
detergent. Dry well afterwards.
DOMINO MODELS: EXTRACT THE OVEN DOOR
• extract the door’s lock using a screwdriver if necessary;
• turn the lock to its locking position;
• close the door as far as the lock permits;
• remove the door by lifting it and pulling it towards you.
4.2 MAINTENANCE OF THE COOKING PLATE
When you first use the cooker, the cast iron plate will
gradually change colour, starting with the hottest part and,
after a while, the colder parts. The plate gradually becomes
all one colour.
Clean the heating plate with any type of detergent; then
rinse it only if it is slightly warm so that the humidity can
evaporate naturally. Grease the entire plate with a cloth
soaked in oil.
The heating plate is made of cast iron so prolonged contact
with humidity will cause a thin layer of rust to form on its sur-
face. This can be removed as follows:
• rub the surface of the plate with 120 grit abrasive paper;
• rub the surface with food oil;
• clean with a dry cloth.
4.3 TOP AND OTHER EXTERNAL PARTS
The stainless steel parts should be cleaned when cold with
neutral detergents or with vinegar in the case of persistent
stains.
You must avoid using abrasive or acid products
that could damage the surface. Dry with a soft cloth,
following the grain of the glazing. The external parts can be
cleaned easily with water and neutral detergent. Do not use
aggressive or abrasive chemical products; any spills from
pans or other should be cleaned immediately.
MANUFACTURER’S DECLARATION
The de Manincor Company guarantees the appliance has
passed all the in-house tests and inspections and that it is
therefore up to standard and without any manufacturing
or material defects.
•
Insufficient air recovery.
If there is insufficient air recovery,
combustion is poor and gases will come out of the stove
especially when you open the door to add more wood.
OTHER REASONS
•
The position is too windy.
You need to install a WINDPROOF
chimney pot, otherwise any change in the direction of the
wind will compromise evacuation of the gases.
•
Presence of two flue pipes in the same room or in two
adjacent rooms.
The flue pipe with the more powerful
draught pressure will draw the gases from the one with the
least powerful one; as a result gases will come out of the
stove with the poorer flue draught pressure.
•
Presence of a ventilating hood in the room.
If there is
insufficient air recovery, the air will be retrieved by the stove
causing smoke. If you switch on the hood while the stove is in
use, you must leave a window ajar for all the time the
ventilating hood is in operation.
•
Poor connections.
Narrow sections, internal edges, imperfect
joints and sharp bends might accidentally be created when
connecting the stove to the flue that could impede the
evacuation of the gases.
•
Uninsulated flue pipe.
Gases passing through an
uninsulated flue pipe will cool down and compromise flue
draught pressure. This causes atmospheric pollution,
condensation and the deposit of unburned products inside
the pipe, affecting its efficiency.
4. MAINTENANCE
4.1 ROUTINE CLEANING AND CHECKS
The cooker is at its most efficient when all the surfaces and
pipes the gases come in contact with are kept perfectly clean.
We advise regular maintenance by a qualified technician.
All maintenance and cleaning must only ever be carried out
when the stove has fully cooled down:
• remove the cast iron cooking plate and clean underneath;
• remove the pressurized door under the oven and use the
small shovel to clean the flue-ways, removing all the ash at
the base;
• F6000 model: the flue gas pass under the oven is cleaned by
removing the cast iron plate at the base of the oven; be
careful not to damage the fibre-glass seal when you put the
plate back again;
• DOMINO models: the flue gas pass is cleaned as above; the
part above the oven, instead, is accessed by removing the
closures under the ash drawer;
• clean all accessible areas.
