CAsT IRON COOkINg PLATE AND RINgs

IMPORTANT: to avoid rust DO NOT forget pots or pans on the cold cooking plate. This would create rust rings, unpleasant to see
and difficult to remove.
The cast iron cooking plate and the cast iron rings needs to be periodically cleaned by using sandpaper (grain 150) without
touching the enamelled parts..
To carry out the cleaning operation remove the smoke outlet spigot and the smoke pipe. The smoke compartment can be cleaned from the
front side of the oven (see chap. CLEANING SMOKE COMPARTMENT COOKERS) or from the top. In this case remove the cast iron rings and the
cooking plate, as well the smoke outlet spigot and the smoke pipe. The cleaning can be carried out by using a brush and a hoover.
(Where existing STANLESS STEEL frame) Once you have placed the cast iron cooking plate, make sure to have always 3 mm in-between the
cooking plate and the STAINLESS STEEL frame. This gap is important because of the thermal expansions and to avoid chromatic changes
of the STAINLESS STEEL frame when hot.
ATTENTION: once the cleaning operations are terminated all the parts have to be re-assembled hermetically.

MAINTENANCE ON THE WATER sYsTEM

Excessive incrustation deposits on the inner walls of the hearth considerably reduce the efficiency of heat exchange; therefore,
remove these deposits using a steel brush whenever necessary. Never use corrosive substances that can damage the thermo-
fireplace and the boiler.
With the system switched off, once a year carry out the following checks:
• Check the operation and efficiency of the blowdown and safety valves. If they are defective, contact your authorised installer. IT Is
sTRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO REMOVE OR TAMPER WITH THE sAFETY DEVICEs.
• Check the thermal insulation of the filling pipe and the safety pipe.
• Make sure that the system is filled and under pressure, checking the water level in the expansion tank; also check that it is working
properly and check the efficiency of the safety pipe.

After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close all the doors of the hearth and
the relevant registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work others possible
appliances connected to the same flue.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime the actual status of the rope seals,
which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not in good condition and are not making a good seal! In this case the
seals must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.
If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with neutral
Vaseline.
Check the water level in the expansion tank and remove any air from the system by bleeding the radiators; also check to make sure that the
plumbing and electrical accessories (control unit, circulator) are working properly.
ATTENTION: For no reason must the fire be ignited before the system has been completely filled with water; doing this would lead
to serious damage of the entire structure. The installation must always be full of water even when the appliance is not used.
