10.2 ROUTINE CLEANING
10.2.1 Cleaning the fire box
Daily, or before each ignition, it is necessary to
make sure that there are no combustion residues
on the fire box grate, as they may obstruct the
free passage of combustion air.
STEP
ACTION
1
Carefully clean the grate (A) (Fig.
10.1). Remove it and clean the
fire box using a hand brush (not
supplied) brushing the combustion
residues into the ash drawer.
2
Extract the ash drawer (B) from
the base and vacuum out any ash
deposited in the compartments
below (Fig. 10.2).
3
Vacuum the rear (C) and front
holes (D - if any) of the combustion
air distributor in order to prevent
ash from accumulating (Fig. 10.2).
Place the grate carefully on a suitable support
surface.
Remove the ash from the combustion chamber
as the salts present cause corrosion of the metal.
In addition, the ash could block the passage
of air, varying the development of the flame
which, if it approaches the glass, would increase
corrosion.
Product images are for illustrative purposes only.
The ash drawer below the fire box must be
emptied out every day to stop it from filling up
with ash, thus causing the cast iron grate of the
fire box to overheat and preventing the flow of
air to the fire box.

The refractory bricks undergo expansion
deformations during the operation of the
appliance, due to the high temperatures reached.
For this reason the slots open between one piece
and another of the refractory bricks should be
considered normal. During combustion these
slots are filled from the ashes which absorb the
expansions of the refractory bricks.
10.2.2 Cleaning the glass
It is carried out with a damp cloth or with
dampened paper that is wiped over the ash.
Rub until the glass is clean.
Do not clean the glass while the appliance is
operating and do not use abrasive sponges.
Do not use solvents, acids or detergents, liquid
detergents or aggressive products.
