Cleaning And Maintenance - Rocal GALA Manuel Des Caracteristiques, Installation Et Fonctionnement

4.9 Fire Prevention. You must not place any flammable element outside the safety distance from the fireplace described in the table
in section 1.1 Technical specifications. You shall also take special precautions if there are children and elderly people present. In
case of fire, push away all the people around it, close the registers as much as possible and notify the Firefighting service.
4.10 Dilations of the sheet. Materials subject to temperature changes undergo dilatations. This phenomenon can cause sporadic
metallic noises more or less frequently. These are completely innocuous and do not mean any risk or problem for its operation.

5. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

5.1 Maintenance. An appropriate and regular maintenance of both the appliance and the installation contributes greatly to its good
performance. It is important to perform periodic and complete controls of the equipment and of the ducts and installation. Thus, for
your safety and comfort, some of our dealers offer a servicing contract for your device. Please contact your dealer for this
service.
5.1.1 Locking mechanisms. You need to make sure no mechanisms are locked (registers, door, air inlet, etc.) after an extended
shutdown period.
5.1.2. Spare parts. Use only original spare parts, or parts recommended by Manufacturas Rocal, S.A. See picture on section "V" of
the ANNEXED document.
5.2. Cleaning. It is important for the appliance to be clean of ash so that all mechanisms work properly. To clean the body of the
device, use the cleaning dry cloth given with the appliance or similar. Do not use current cleaning products.
5.2.1 Glass. You must turn the device off to clean the glass. The products used must not come into contact with the metal parts of
the door or the ceramic board; the aggressiveness of these products can cause a corrosion process of the equipment.
5.2.2 Ash box. Empty the box only when the appliance is completely turned off, ensuring that the ashes do not contain any
burning coals; in which case you should deposit them in a metal bucket. To access the ash basin follow the steps shown in pictures
"E.6", "E.7", "E.8" and "E.9" of the ANNEXED document.
CAUTION: With the appliance running, the inside compartment must remain completely closed. You can only
access it for ash disposal.
5.2.3. Flue liner. It is important to keep the flue liner clean. It gets dirty depending on the fuel used, on a slower or faster combustion,
etc. You need to clean the flue liner at least once per season. It is mandatory for a specialist to review it periodically. To access the
flue liner follow the steps shown in pictures "E.10", "E.11" of the ANNEXED document.
5.2.4. Painting. The heat-resistant paint that covers the whole device (the combustion chamber, the front door, etc.), resists up to
600ºC of temperature and releases a slight characteristic odor that disappears with the first ignitions. It is necessary to regularly check
the condition of the paint and correct it when necessary.
This paint can be damaged when; the temperature exceeds 600ºC, fuels with too much humidity or non-recommended fuels are used,
it is installed in humid environments and / or salinity in the environment (seawater), it is in contact with chemical cleaning products or
6. PROBLEMS: CAUSE AND SOLUTION
with water (inputs through the duct, etc.). Use exclusively "Rocal heatproof spray paint".
Below is a table of possible anomalies, their causes and solutions:
PROBLEM
1. Rejects smoke and / or
insufficient draught
2. Excessive dirt on glass
3. Glass bleaching or colour
fading of the plate
4. Poor heating
5. Venting smoke and / or
gases from the front, bad
smell
10
CAUSE
Incorrect duct
Lack of air supply for combustion
Incorrect position of registers
Incorrect duct
Inappropriate fuel
Overly closed registers
Excessive temperature caused by excessive heat in
the combustion chamber
Inappropriate fuel
Insufficient load
Combustion control registers in the wrong position
First lighting
Flammable or combustible items in the enclosure or
surrounding walls of the equipment
Crack in the combustion chamber of the equipment
SOLUTION
Duct servicing*:
-connection
-diameter
-leaks
-insufficient length
-outdoor access
-possible elements blocking the exit
Check vents and / or outside air supply.
Simultaneous operation with other ventilation devices and
/ or heating
Setting the register
Revise section on insufficient flue (below).
Use recommended fuel
Adjust registers
Check the fuel load avoiding overheating
Adjust registers
Use recommended fuel
Adding fuel
Adjust registers
Wait for the polymerization process of the paint to finish;
this can take from one to several lightings.
Review of insulating materials such as fiberglass,
fireproof wood or any inflammable elements and replace
them.
Check for tightness and if you discover a crack, please
contact your dealer.
