Overheating.
Overheating means that you have operated your oven a excessively high temperatures for a
long period of time. This can damage your unit and, therefore, it is a situation that must be
avoided.
Overheating is the result of excessive draw, due to any of the following reasons:
The Primary Air Valve is excessively open for the type of wood being used.
The chimney is too big.
Improper maintenance of the oven, which may result in air infiltration.
Inappropriate fuel that produces high temperatures.
Door not closed correctly.
A. - Front section, doors, painted cast iron parts, and metal coatings.
Always use a dry cloth to avoid possible rust.
B.- Glass pane on the door.
1. Cleaning
Fireplace window cleaning liquids are effective products.
Never try to clean the glass while there is a fire in the fireplace.
We recommend Hergóm glass cleaning liquids, which can be acquired from our
distributors, given their proven efficiency.
2. Replacing.
The glass parts in your fireplace are made of thermal material, especially
manufactured for log and/or coal fireplaces.
If they should break due to an accident, they must be replaced by other glass panes
with the same technical specifications. Contact our Distributor to provide you with the
appropriate glass pane, together with instructions on how to assemble and seal it.
C.- Stainless steel oven
There are a number of appropriate products on the market that will help you keep
stainless steel looking like a mirror. Avoid using tools that may scratch steel. For stainless
steel to preserve its properties, its surface must not be damaged.
D. - Enamelled tray
Preferably clean when the oven is cold. Use a damp cloth dipped in soapy water and
then dry. Avoid the use of strong detergents or abrasive products that may damage the
enamel.
E.- Removing ash.
The cast iron fireplace includes an ash pan below the hearth. (See Fig.- 22)
To eliminate the ash, withdraw the cast iron tray using a protective glove, and remove
it from the fireplace to facilitate the cleaning operation.
Sweep the ash using a scraper or brush towards the ash pan. Remove the ash pan and
throw away the ash.
