MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
8.1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Prior to embarking on any maintenance work the following
precautions must be taken:
A) make sure all parts of the cooker are cold.
B) make sure the ashes are completely cold and not
burning.
C) use the individual protective gear as established by
the EEC directive 89/391.
D) always use the most appropriate maintenance tools.
Once the winter has come to an end, the cooker should
be cleaned completely and all ash and soot removed. The
water should only be drained if repair work is necessary.
If the system is not used in winter, it is advisable to
introduce some antifreeze in the system; or if the heater-
cooker is not used for a prolonged period of time, we
recommend you drain all its circuits completely to avoid
any water contained from freezing.
8.2
GETTING RID OF THE ASHES (FIG. 8.2)
The ash drawer, which is under the hearth (Fig. 3.1
component 12), must be completely emptied when it
is full so as not to overheat the hearth's cast iron grid
preventing the comburent air from reaching it.
The drawer should be emptied frequently to facilitate
regular inlet of comburent air into the replace. The
drawer should be emptied when the cooker is cold, for
example every morning before lighting.
8.3
CLEANING THE HEART (FIG. 8.3)
At regular intervals or when soot deposits become too
bad, clean the hearth thorough. This enables a better
functioning and yield of the cooker.
8.4
CLEANING THE FLUE (FIG. 8.4)
This is to be done before lighting the cooker and
each time a layer of soot or tar is noted inside the
pipe, as this is an easily in ammable substance.
When the deposits are 5-6 mm thick they could catch re
if the temperature is very high and if there are sparks,
damaging the ue and the house. At any rate, clean at
least once a year.
8.5
CLEANING THE GLASS (FIG. 8.5)
Clean by using a wet cloth or wet paper on the ash.
Scrub until the glass is clean.
Use also suitable cleansers for ovens.
Don't clean the glass if the cooker is in use and don't use
abrasive sponges.
Don't wet the door seal because it could deteriorate
