Maintenance
Before working on the fireplace, ensure that it is cold.
Clean (with as ash vacuum cleaner) the particles and residues which remain in the housing of the ashtray.
Clear de grid by mean of the pull and empty the ashtray during the period of operation of the stove.
The joint of the door of the ashtray must always be in good state and if needed, replace it.
Ensure that there is no objects (scrap) between the grids of removing of the cinders, which could bloc them.
The metal parts can be wiped with a dry cloth.
The inside panels for protection (cast iron or vermiculite) can be split without preventing a normal
functioning of the stove. Look after that is does not miss a piece. In this case replace the damaged parts.
Your dealer can give you an aerosol for touching up the paintwork if required.
Use original spare parts for any repairs.
Cleaning the window
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 or the eccentric for door must be
adjusted. This setting will bring the door closer to the heating body. Unscrew
the nut with a spanner (8), rotate the eccentric to the back of the appliance
and screw back the nut.
