12�2 ORDINARY MAINTENANCE AT THE
USER’S PLACE
12�2�1 Cleaning of the combustion chamber’s interior
The stove requires simple but frequent cleaning in order
to ensure its efficient operation and regular work.
This cleaning must be performed when the stove is shut
down and cold�
Open the door of the furnace using the handle (fig. 12.1).
Remove the ash deposited in the furnace.
The purpose of this cleaning is to ensure circulation of air
for combustion through the GRATE’s holes.
Raise and remove the brazier, and clean the surfaces and
interior of the furnace (fig. 12.2).
Reinsert the brazier, making sure that it fits perfectly in
its place.
12�2�2 Cleaning of the ash pan
The ash pan should be cleaned every week or more
frequently, if necessary.
To gain access to the ash pan, open the ash pan door and
remove the ash pan (fig.12.3).
Empty the pan into a metal container suitable for collec
collecting ash, and vacuum ash from the pan’s space.
Put the ash pan back in place. Close the door.
12�2�3 Cleaning the smoke collector’s housing
The smoke chamber should be cleaned every 3 months or
as necessary.
Using a flexible brush, clean the 4 pipes of the exchanger
found in the combustion chamber (marked by dots)
(fig. 12.4).
Any residue that falls into the smoke collector must be
removed by a vacuum cleaner suitable for ash.
12�2�4 Cleaning the glass door
The stove is equipped with a unique glass door self-cleaning
system, which reduces the frequency of maintenance.
Nevertheless, as time passes, and depending on working
conditions and the type of granulates used, the glass door
must be cleaned manually.
This activity is performed using a damp cloth or moist
paper that has been immersed in ash (fig. 12.5).
