Servicing And Care; Cleaning The Chimney; Cleaning The Glass; Cleaning The Ash - Bronpi ALHAMBRA Instructions D'installation, D'utilisation Et D'entretien

b. Insert a fire starter or a paper ball and some wood splinters into the chamber.
c. Light the paper or the splinter. Close the door slowly and leave it half-open 10 or 15 minutes while the glass is heated.
d. When there is flame enough, open the door slowly in order to avoid smoke returns and load the fireplace with dry wood logs. Close the
door slowly.
e. When the logs are lit, use the regulators located on the frontal part (primary and secondary air intake) in order to control the heat
emission of the stove. These regulators should be opened according to the heating needs. The best combustion (with minimum
emissions) is reached when the main part of the air for the combustion passes through the secondary air regulator.
In addition to the air regulation for the combustion, the draw also affects the intensity of the combustion and the heating performance of your
equipment. A good draft of the stove needs a reduced regulation of the air for the combustion, while a lack of draft needs a good regulation
of the air for the combustion.
Due to safety reasons, the door must remain closed when the fireplace is being used. You should only open the door for loading the
fuel. In order to refill the fuel, open the door slowly, open the primary air intake, introduce the wood and close the door. After 3-5 minutes,
return to the combustion recommended regulation.
Do not overload the equipment (see maximum fuel load). Too much fuel and too much air for the combustion can cause the
overheating and, therefore, damage the equipment. The non-compliance of this rule will invalidate the warranty.

SERVICING AND CARE

The stove, the chimney and, in general, the whole installation, must be cleaned completely at least once a year or when necessary.
WARNING!! Maintenance and servicing operations must be done when the stove is cold.
These tasks are not covered by the warranty.
9.1.

CLEANING THE CHIMNEY

When the wood is burnt slowly, it produces tars and other organic vapours that combined with the humidity they create the creosote (soot).
An excessive accumulation of soot may cause problems in the smoke outlet and even the smoke duct may suffer a fire. A chimney sweep
should perform this task and, at the same time, examine the smoke duct. During the cleaning tasks, it is necessary to remove the ash pan,
the grille and the smoke baffle plate in order to makes easier the fall of the soot.
It is recommended to use anti-soot envelopes during the operation of the stove at least once a week. These envelopes are placed directly on
the fire and you can buy them in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove.
9.2.

CLEANING THE GLASS

IMPORTANT:
Clean the glass only when it is cold in order to avoid its explosion.
You can use specific products such as vitro ceramic-cleaning products. Do not use aggressive or abrasive products that stain the
glass.
You can find Bronpi vitro ceramic-cleaning product in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your stove.
BREAKAGE OF GLASSES: the glasses, as they are vitro ceramic, resist until 750ºC and they are not subject to thermal shocks. The
breakage can only be caused by mechanical shocks (crashes or violent closing of the door, etc). Therefore, its replacement is not
included in the warranty.
9.3.

CLEANING THE ASH

All stoves have an ash pan for the ash collection.
We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly in order to avoid that it is full completely so that the grille does not overheat. Moreover, we
recommend leaving 2-3 cm of ash on the base.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODELS WITH OVEN

(Only models Blanes, Suiza, Suiza-Inox and Vitoria)
Over time and with the use, the stoves with oven can create soot deposits in the
external parts of the oven. These deposits can obstruct the draw and cause a
malfunction of the stove. For this reason, it is important to remove them through a
register that is hidden under the logo of the oven door. It is necessary to unscrew
the logo and use the hole in order to proceed with the cleaning (see drawing D42).
When you are cleaning the oven, please be careful and do not use
aggressive products because they can wear down the paint and too much water can oxidise it.
In the model Suiza-Inox, the interior of the cooking chamber of the oven is composed of removable stainless steel parts (2 guides, top and
back). Therefore, in order to clean it, these parts can be removed by following these steps (see drawing D43):
- Remove the top, sliding it outwards.
- Extract the side guides, which are placed on 4 supports. To detach them, we must pull up the guide and then pull it.
- Finally, remove the rear which is placed on 2 supports.
