or a dry, clean cloth dipped in detergent made with non ionic
surfactants (<5%); spray glass and mirror cleaner is recommended.
6.1.5.
Cleaning painted parts
Avoid cleaning the painted parts when the product is in operation or
hot, with damp cloths to avoid the thermal shock of the paint and its
consequent detachment. Do not use abrasive or aggressive materials or
products.
Clean with a paper towel or damp cotton.
The silicone paints used to coat MCZ products have top
quality technical properties which ensure the resistance to
very high temperatures.
There is however a physical limit (380°-400°) beyond which
the paint loses its characteristics and begins to "whiten" or
(above 450°) “vitrifies” and can flake and peel away from the
steel surface. If this occurs, it means that temperatures well
above those at which the appliance should operate correctly
have been reached and consequently we recommend the use
of the quantity of fuel specified in the technical tables.
6.1.6.
Cleaning the flue pipe
We recommend the mechanical cleaning of the flue pipe at least once a
year; excess build-up of unburned waste could cause problems with the
smoke discharge and start a fire in the flue pipe itself.
6.2.
CLEANING UNDER THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
SPECIALISED STAFF
CAUTION:
The frequency with which the stove is to be cleaned
should be determined according to its use and the
type of installation.
MCZ recommends you contact an authorised service
centre for the maintenance and cleaning of the entire
flue pipe system at the end of the season because in
addition to performing the above-mentioned
operations, a general check of the appliance will also
be performed.
6.3.
QUICK RESPONSE
If for any reason it is necessary to put out the fire in the stove suddenly
and quickly or put out a fire that has started in the flue pipe, respond
as follows:
If you have time, remove the embers and ash using a metal
container.
Request urgent assistance from the competent authorities.
