Maintenance and cleaning of the stove
Before effecting any maintenance operation or
cleaning on the stove, take the following precautions:
• be sure that all parts of the stove are cold.
• be sure that the ashes are completely cold.
• be sure that the general switch is in the "OFF"
position.
• be sure that the plug is pulled out of the socket to
avoid accidental contact.
• once the maintenance phase is completed
check that everything is in order as per before the
intervention (the brazier is placed correctly).
Follow carefully
cleaning instructions. Failure to
follow these
create problems with the operation
of the stove.
Cleaning the brazier and brazier support
When the flame assumes a red colour or seems weak,
and is accompanied by black smoke, this means that
there are ash deposits or incrustations that do not
permit the correct functioning of the stove and that
must be removed. Remove the brazier every day by
simply raising it from its slot; then clean out the ashes
and eventual incrustations that may have formed,
paying particular attention to liberating the holes by
using a pointed tool (not included with the stove).
This operation is made particularly necessary before
every lighting the first several times and above all
if using pellets that differ from those supplied by
our company. The frequency of this operation is
determined by how frequently the stove is used and
the choice of pellets.
It is also a good idea to check the brazier support,
vacuuming the eventual ash present.

the following
instructions could
Ash box
Open the door and use a vacuum to remove all the
ash deposited inside the ash box. This operation must
be performed more or less frequently depending on
the quality of the pellets used.
Cleaning the glass
The glass is a self cleaning type, therefore, while the
stove is working, a veil of air is blown across its surface
to remove ash and dirt; nevertheless over a period of
several hours, a greyish patina tends to form which
should be cleaned when the stove is next shut down.
How dirty the glass becomes also depends on the
quality and quantity of pellets used.
Cleaning the glass should be done when the stove is
cold with products recommended and tested by our
company.
When performing this operation, always check that
the grey seal around the glass is in a good state;
failure to check the efficiency of this gasket can
compromise the function of the stove.
Poor quality pellets can, in any case, cause the glass
to become dirty.
If the glass is broken, do not attempt
to light the stove.
Cleaning the surfaces
To clean the surfaces, use a rag dampened with
water or with water and a neutral detergent.
The use of aggressive detergents or
thinners can damage the surfaces of
the stove. Before using any detergent
it is advisable to try it on a small section
out of sight or contact the Authorized
Assistance Centre for information regarding
the product.
Cleaning the metal parts
To clean the metal parts of the stove, use a soft
cloth dampened with water. Never clean the metal
parts with alcohol, thinners, petrol, acetone or other
degreasing substances. If such substances are used,
our company declines any responsibility.
Eventual variations in the colour of the metal parts
can be caused by an incorrect use of the stove.
