MAINTENANCE
DOOR
Before heating the stove for the first time, it is necessary to remove all the labels and wash the door
with soapy water
(soft soap). Because, the least traces on the door will remain forever when
heating your stove
.
Clean your stove regularly by removing the ashes. Then, deposit ashes in a steel container
provided with a tight lid. This container should not have any other type of waste in it.
The door and the gasket must always be clean and in good condition. Perhaps for an intensive use,
it will be necessary to replace the door’s joint if it loses its elasticity. Check the door’s sealing
periodically; a damaged or used gasket must be replaced immediately. Contact the nearest store
for spare parts.
Note that solid fuel stoves must be frequently cleaned because an accumulation of soot, creosote
and ashes can be formed. Directions must be given concerning the measures to be taken if there is
a chimney fire due to an accumulation of soot or creosote.
CHIMNEY MAINTENANCE
It is important to inspect the chimney or clean it periodically.
It is necessary to clean the chimney after an accumulation of 3 mm creosote.
After two months of continuous service, it would be preferable to clean the chimney and dismount
the pipe of the stove to remove soot and creosote.
ASHES
•
Remove ashes only when fire is extinguished and has cooled off.
•
Deposit ashes in a metal container with a tight lid.
•
Do not keep ashes in the house because they release carbon monoxide and other harmful
products.
•
Do not place them close to combustible materials. Ashes remain hot during days and could
cause a fire.
•
Do not deposit ashes in cardboard box.
•
Before beginning each heating season, check the interior and exterior of the stove and the
chimney in order to detect any defect or deterioration.
•
To reduce the risks of chimney fires, check your chimney by regularly inspecting it in order to
check the accumulation of creosote. To reach it, unscrew the hat. A wood or plastic brush is
recommended to avoid scratches on the internal wall.
EXPANSION NOISES
Contraction and expansion noises during the heating/cooling cycle are normal phenomenon. It is
not necessary thus to worry.
