5.1
Cleaning the brazier
Remove the brazier and the ash deposited in the combustion chamber and brazier holder. A suitable vacuum
cleaner may be used for this purpose. This operation must be carried out daily, especially in case of accumulated
unburnt matter, to ensure perfect combustion conditions, since the brazier holes allow the flow of combustion air.

5.2
Cleaning the ash container
The ash container is located directly under the brazier - brazier holder. To clean it, open the fire door and remove
the ash and any combustion residuals using a suitable vacuum cleaner.
The door must be closed after cleaning. The ash container can be cleaned every 2-3 days depending on insert use.
5.3 Cleaning the glass and air slots
The glass can be cleaned using a damp cloth and specific non-abrasive detergents.
Special slots between the glass, glass stops and fire door at the top and bottom allow air to circulate and cleaning of
the inside surface of the glass. These slots must be kept clean of any deposits of ash and dust. Therefore
periodically clean all around the inner side of the glass.
5.4 Cleaning the fume extractor and combustion chamber
The combustion chamber must be cleaned at least once a year, removing all combustion residuals from the internal
baffles and flueways. To do this, pull the insert out and remove the covers and the top grille. Remove the cast iron
exchanger by undoing the fixing screws then clean the baffles and the chamber.
It is also important to clean the fume extractor located at the side behind the chamber and the fume manifold which
is accessed by removing the inspection doors behind the ash pan on the bottom of the chamber.
