2.7. Maintenance of the stove body
K
The stove must be regularly cleaned.
K
Remove all deposits from the combustion chamber
and clean the grate area.
K
The vitro ceramic glass can only be cleaned using a
soft cloth and stove glass cleaner, available from your
Franco Belge Dealer. DO NOT USE ABRASIVES
K
The vitro ceramic glass resists a temperature of 750°C.
If the glass should be broken, it is recommended that
only an original factory replacement should be fitted.
For enamelled finishes, the stove body can be cleaned
using a soft cloth either dry, or slightly damp with a very
mild detergent.
NEVER CLEAN ENAMEL SURFACES WHILST THE
STOVE IS HOT.
The cast iron body panels of non-enamelled stoves can
be cleaned with a proprietary stove cleaner or
re-sprayed / touched up using a stove paint. These
products are available from your Franco Belge Dealer.
Caution
! : The appearance of cracks when burning the
enamelled units is quite usual and tends to disappear
when the appliance is cooling down. It should not be
considered as a defect but rather as a patina of the
enamel which does not affect its quality nor its service
ability.
2.8. Pre-utilisation check
Check the condition of the filler seals, that the door
closes correctly.
-
Check that the glass is not damaged.
-
Check that the smoke passages are not obstructed by
packaging or removable parts.
-
Check that the seals of the smoke-line are in good
condition.
-
Check that the doors close correctly.
-
Check that all removable parts are correctly installed
(fuel retainer (fig. 9), oscillating grate (fig. 10), baffle
(fig. 3) etc...
-
Fit the ash tray, located in the ash pan, between the
front legs (rep. 2, fig. 10).
Note
: if it acts of a ceramics braid, it is consumable and
thus brought to be changed by the user.
2.9. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important !
In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly.
If the appliance is regularly used, the chimney
should be swept several times per year, together
with the stovepipe connection section.
If the chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys and call the Fire Brigade without delay.
DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR OF THE APPLIANCE
(OR AIR INLET)
UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
