Use the vacuum cleaner
-
and dust trapped between the air guide and the
glazed pane. If necessary, to make cleaning
easier, slide a thin blade or a sheet of stiff card
between the air guide and the pane to free
trapped particles (Fig. 13).
Use the end of some metal object
-
the bottom edge of the damper so as to remove
any soot (Fig. 12).
Any soot or other particles are liable to prevent the
formation of the secondary film of air protecting the
glass from direct contact with the smoke and
ensuring full combustion of the wood.
Cleaning should be done as soon as the glass is dirty
and in any event must be done when the stove is
completely out.
If localized and very obvious traces of soot (Fig. 15)
reappear and spread, the air guide must be
dismantled for more thorough cleaning (Fig. 16) :
Unhinge the door and lay it flat.
.
Remove the 5 screws.
.
Remove the air guide A and clean it.
.
Replace the seal around the pane (6 dia.).
.
.
Reinstall the assembly and check that the
recommended play on the pane is complied
with.
This operation must be performed by a qualified
professional servicing agent.
•
Make sure the catch-bolt on the door works
properly ; if necessary, adjust as follows (Fig 14) :
-
To tighten the catch:
. Loosen screw
. Give both screws a quarter turn and repeat ff
necessary.
N.B : This will increase the pressure of the sealing
strip around the door.
-
To slacken the catch :
. Loosen screw
. Give both screws a quarter turn and repeat if
necessary.
N.B. : This will reduce the pressure of the sealing
stop around the door.
•
Clean the hot air grilles in the hood at regular
intervals.
How often you do this depends on the
grilles : the smaller the holes, the quicker they get
clogged up.
