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.
