MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
8.1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Before carrying out any maintenance work, take the
following precautions:
A) Ensure that all parts of the fireplace are completely
cold.
B)
Ensure that the ashes are completely out.
C) Use individual safety gear as set forth by directive
89/391/EEC.
D) Always use appropriate tools for maintenance.
8.2 CLEANING THE GLASS (FIG. 7.2)
While the fireplace is being used it is easier to clean the
pyroceram with lever (D) of Fig. 7.2. This lever is normally
positioned on flow closed. If it is moved, the flow of air
is opened which blows against the pyroceram making it
easier to clean.
If the deposits that form during combustion do not
disappear with the above procedure, you will have to wait
for the fire to go out and then clean when the fireplace is
cold. To clean use a damp cloth or a ball of newspaper
that must be moistened and dipped in the ash – rub the
glass until it is completely clean.
At times, this procedure may not be enough. You can
then use appropriate detergents; however, be sure you
spray the product on a dry cloth and not directly on the
glass of the fireplace or the surrounding painted parts.
Under normal conditions, the glass does tend to turn black
when you light the fire but this disappears once the fire
is burning.
Pyroceram resists high temperatures very well, but
it is fragile, so DO NOT STRIKE IT.
8.3 GETTING RID OF THE ASHES (FIG.
7.3)
The ash box must be emptied when the fire is out; the
front can be seen at the bottom. Access it by opening the
door of the fireplace. Open after having turned the lever
on the inside of the box clockwise.
It is advisable to throw the ashes away regularly to
guarantee an optimum flow of air for combustion.
8.4 REMOVING ASHES FROM THE
FIREPLACE (FIG. 7.4)
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;
•
remove the ash from the ash collection tank,
using an appropriate ash suction system;
•
close the door.
