MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

All maintenance and cleaning operations must be
performed with the stove stopped and cold.
7.1

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Prior to undertaking on any maintenance work the
following precautions must be taken:
• Make sure all parts of the stove are cold.
• Make sure the ashes are completely cold and not
burning.
• Use the individual protective gear as established by
the EEC directive 89/391.
• Always use the most appropriate maintenance tools.
7.2

CLEANING

The cleaning of the external part of the stove must be
executed only with a dry cloth not abrasive. Do not use
detergents.
7.2.1 Removing ashes from the fireplace
The stove requires simple but frequent and careful
cleaning to guarantee efficient performance and regular
operation at all times.
• Open the door;
• remove any coals and ashes from the fireplace using
a m etallic shovel;
• close the door;
THE ASH BOX located under the fire box must be
emptied every day when the stove is cold. This will
keep the ash box from overflowing, which would keep
combustion air from getting to the fire box.
7.2.2 Cleaning the glass
Clean with a damp cloth or with dampened paper which
has been dipped into the ashes.
Rub until the glass is clean.
Detergents for cleaning kitchen ovens may also be used.
Do not clean the glass while the stove is in use, and do
not use abrasive sponges.
Do not get the door gasket wet as it may deteriorate.
