12. OPERATION DURING TRANSITION PERIODS
During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, if there is a sudden increase of temperature it
can happen that the combustion gases inside the flue cannot be completely sucked up.
The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently
and increase the air for the combustion. Then, load a reduced quantity of fuel in order to permit a rapid burning
(growing up of the flames) and the stabilization of the draught.
Then, check that all openings for the cleaning and the connections to the stack are air-tight.
13. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
13.1.
CLEANING OF THE FLUE
During normal use, the stack is not damaged in any way.
The device should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad working and
low yield). An excessive deposit of soot (creosote) can cause problems in the discharge of smokes and fire in the flue.
The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment. This operation should be carried out by a chimney
sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit.
During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the ash drawer, the grating, and the smoke deflectors from the device
in order to ease the fall of the soot.
The deflectors can be easily extracted from their seats since they are not fastened using screws. Once the cleaning
has been carried out, place them back in their seats.
CAUTION
: The lack of the deflector causes a strong depression, with a too fast combustion, an excessive
consumption of wood with related overheating of the device.
13.2.
CLEANING OF THE GLASS
After having checked that the door is completely shut (lowered), unlock the latch (Picture 18), open the
door
and
clean the glass, then close the
door
and lock the latch before lifting again the door.
Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty
sediments on the glass-door is reduced with efficacy. Nevertheless
this can never be avoided by using solid fuels (particularly wet wood)
and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.
The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of
fuels, the correct position of the secondary air regulator, enough
draught of the chimney-flue and the presence of combustion air are
the essential elements for the optimal functioning of the appliance
and for the cleaning of the glass.
IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out
only and exclusively with cold device to avoid the explosion of
the same. For the cleaning, it is possible to use specific products or
a wet newspaper paper ball passed in the ash to rub it. Do not use
cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning
the hearth glass.
BREAK OF GLASSES: Given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 750°C, they are no t
subject to thermal shocks. Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks (bumps or violent closure of
the door, etc.). Therefore, their replacement is not included in the warranty.
13.3.
CLEANING OF THE ASH
All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes.
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in order not to overheat the grating.
Moreover, it is suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of fire-resistant material equipped with an
air-tight cover.
The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off and
complete cooling.
Check the external air intake, by cleaning it, at least once a year.
The stack must be regularly swept by the chimney sweeper.
Let your chimney sweeper in charge of your area check the regular installation of the device, the connection to the
stack and the aeration.
