Removing Ash; Cleaning The Glass - Cola ENEA Manuel D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

3.9 Idle period and summer
In summer, it is advisable to clean the combustion chamber, ash pan, fume ducts in the oven, the chimney and
flue; also, remove all residuals on the inside and outside of the stove, check all seals and replace them if
necessary.
The appearance of the hotplate and other cast iron parts can be maintained by applying neutral vaseline.
At the end of maintenance operations, close the doors and air controls to prevent dust, etc., from entering.
If the stove is not going to be used for a long period, after the above operations and disconnecting from the flue, it
is advisable cover it with a protective cloth and store in a safe and protected place.
4 – ROUTINE STOVE CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Good maintenance will help keep improve the stove's efficiency and prolong its service life.
Daily, before lighting the fire, clean the grate and remove any unburnt wood and ash from the ash pan zone.

4.1 Removing ash

The ENEA – ENEA FORNO stove has a removable grate which should be cleared of ash, using the poker
supplied, every time before loading fuel.
Make sure to empty the ash pan regularly, as accumulated ash under the grate will obstruct the flow of combustion
air. The grate will get too hot and may be damaged.
To prevent the risk of fire, allow the ashes to cool outdoors in a metal container or in the stove and
eliminate them in compliance with the current local regulations.

4.2 Cleaning the glass

The glass can be cleaned using a damp cloth and normal non-abrasive detergents.
Remove any encrustations with suitable detergents, before they become dry.
The ceramic glass can withstand temperatures of around 750°C: in case of breakage, it is advisable to replace it
with another original glass supplied by Cola.
Do not clean the glass during stove operation: cleaning must be carried out when the stove is cold.
4.3 Stove cladding
The stove's cladding must only be cleaned when cold. The ceramic tiles are hand-crafted products and therefore
may have minor surface imperfections such as tiny spots or slight colour differences.
It is advisable to use a soft dry cloth to clean the ceramic surfaces; the use of detergents could highlight any flaws.
4.4 Cleaning the oven
It is advisable to clean the oven when lukewarm or cold and after each use, to prevent dirt from depositing on the
surface. To clean the stainless steel surfaces of the oven, use non-abrasive detergents with a soft cloth, rinsing
thoroughly to prevent any residues of detergent from contaminating food and corroding the oven materials.
To clean the bottom baffle under and around the oven, remove the oven door "D" and its closing frame.
4.5 Cleaning the flue and baffle
A reduction in heat output is nearly always due to obstruction of the flue. Also, the escaping of burnt gases with
odours can be the sign of an obstructed flue.
The flue of your stove must be cleaned at regular intervals. The amount of soot and the frequency of cleaning will
depend largely on the type of fuel and how the stove is used (i.e. low or high output).
Clean the flue pipes, proceeding as follows:
- Clean only when the stove is cold;
- Close all openings that are not to be cleaned;
- Remove the flue pipes and clean them outdoors;
- Detach and suck the deposits inside the stove with the wire brush;
- All residuals on the grate or in the ash pan must be removed;
- Remove the layer of soot under the oven zone using ascraper;
Close accurately the openings for the cleaning and also check the seal of the closure cap; in case it is damaged
during cleaning the seal must be replaced.
