Do not ever try to clean the glass whilst the stove is in use, or use abrasive products that may
scratch it.
8.2.2. Replacement
:
The glass can resist a temperature of 750ºC. In the event of it accidently breaking, it must be
replaced by glass that has the same characteristics. To avoid accidents, it is necessary to wear
gloves when handling broken glass. Contact our distributor who will supply you with ceramic,
3-cm thick glass of the same quality, with the appropriate joints for your stove. A worn joint
makes the glass turn black quicker.
Never replace the glass for current glass; it has to resist 750ºC. In order to avoid breakages, try
to close the door softly, avoiding any bangs.
8.3. CLEANING OF ASHES.
The stove is provided with an ash drawer that is situated under the glass door.
Do not let the drawer fill up with ashes until these reach the grate as this could overheat the
grate, thus causing damage, as well as blocking the passage of the combustion air.
The ashes should be removed and placed in a steel container with an airtight lid and it will be
taken outside immediately. It will not be possible to sell other products in this same container.
8.4. FORMATION OF CREASOTE and/or SOOT.
When wood burns slowly, it produces tar and other chemical vapours and when these
combine with humidity they form creosote, expelling tar. The vapours of the are condensed in
the chimney pipe that is relatively cold due to a red-hot, slow fire. As a result, the residues of
creosote accumulate inside the pipe. When this is lit, the creosote can cause an intense, very
hot fire.
The chimney should be inspected periodically during the season when heating is necessary in
order to determine whether there is an accumulation of creosote. If there is a significant layer
of creosote, (3mm or more) this must be removed, in order to reduce the risk of the chimney
catching fire.
