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 fireplace at least once a week. These envelopes are place directly
on the fire and you can buy them in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplace.
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 fireplace.
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 metallic fireplaces 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 EBRO

Over time and with the use, the fireplaces 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 fireplace. 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 D9.1).
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.
9.5.

EXTERNAL CLEANING

Do not clean the external surface of the fireplace with water or abrasive products because they may damage the fireplace.
Use a feather duster or a rag a bit wet.

10. SEASONAL STOPPAGES

After cleaning the chimney and the fireplace by removing the ash and other residues, close all doors and regulators.
It is recommended to clean the chimney at least once a year. Meanwhile, check the joints because if they are not in good condition (they do
not adjust to the door), they do not guarantee the proper operation of the fireplace! For this reason, it would be necessary to change them.
You can find this spare part in the same Bronpi distributor where you bought your fireplace.
If there is humidity in the place where the fireplace is installed, put absorbent salts inside the equipment. Protect the internal parts with neutral
vaseline in order to keep the appearance along the time.
