MAINTENANCE OF THE STOVE
Maintenance
Wait until the stove has cooled down completely before any intervention.
Vacuum particles and residues in the appliance (with an ash vacuum cleaner).
Use a dry cloth for cleaning metal components.
Protective panels (vermiculite) of the heating chamber may split up without preventing a normal
working of the stove. Nevertheless, make sure no piece is missing. If so, replace the damaged panel.
Your dealer can supply you a spray for eventual retouch of painting.
Make sure to use original spare pieces for each repair.
Cleaning of the glass
We recommend one of the following two methods for cleaning the window of your fireplace:
1.
If dry, use absorbent paper and / or 000 steel wool:
With good burning (dry wood and good fire management), the absorbent paper makes it
possible to remove most dirt from the glass. Remove the remaining dirt by using steel wool
"000". (Thicker steel wool can damage the glass (scratches)). Avoid rubbing the edge of the
screen print (black part printed on the glass) with steel wool, this can permanently damage
the screen print. You can use this method on cold glass or on warm glass (with a glove).
2.
With a damp cloth and wood ash:
The window can be easily cleaned with a cloth or slightly damp absorbent paper that has
been previously soaked in the cold (white) ash of your fireplace. Rub the dirty parts and
wipe them with a clean damp cloth.
We
prohibit
the use of a liquid cleaning product. The dripping of this product on the lower black
screen of the glass can leave traces, which unfortunately will be final, they can also damage the
paint of the device. If you have to use a liquid detergent due to too much contamination, two
precautions are essential:
• Use a product without corrosive soda.
• Spray the product on a cloth and not on the glass to prevent spillage.
!!! If you do not follow these precautions, the glass may break !!!
Indeed, a liquid product can carry the dust with it to the compensation seal that is located
between the glass and the structure of the door. This dust penetrates the seal and loses its
elasticity and forms a hardened crust, which causes stress on the glass and leads to cracks.
Door
Check the joint of the door.
Use the annual maintenance to check the seal of your fireplace by wedging a strip of paper on the
joint before closing the door. If the strip does not stay wedged, the joint must be replaced and your
dealer will be able to do this.
Twice a year, clean the hinge of the door, coat with a releasing oil in order to prevent moisture
penetrating and from blocking the axis of this one.
