! BREAK OF GLASSES : given that the glass-ceramic glasses resist up to a heat shock of 750°C, they are not subject to thermal shocks.
Their break can be caused only by mechanic shocks (bumps or violent closure of the door, etc.). Therefore, their replacement is not
included in the warranty.
CLEANING OUT THE ASHES
All the devices are equipped with a hearth grating and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes
Picture
9.
It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it filled completely in order not to overheat the grating. Moreover, it is
suggested to leave always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
! CAUTION: The ashes removed from the hearth have to be stored in a container made of fire-resistant material equipped with an
air-tight cover. The container has to be placed on a fire-resistant floor, far from flammable materials up to the switching off and
complete cooling.
CLEANING THE FLUE
The correct lighting phase, the use of proper quantities and types of fuels, the correct position of the secondary air regulator, enough
draught of the chimney-flue and the presence of combustion air are the essential elements for the optimal functioning of the appliance.
The device should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad working and low yield). An
excessive deposit of soot can cause problems in the discharge of smokes and fire in the flue.
! The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment. This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who
can simultaneously perform an audit of the flue (checking of possible deposits).
During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove the ash drawer, the grating, and the smoke deflectors from the device in order to ease
the fall of the soot. The deflectors can be easily extracted from their seats since they are not fastened using screws. Once the clearing
has been carried out, place them back in their seats
(Picture 7).
! CAUTION: The lack of the deflectors causes a strong depression, with a too fast combustion, an excessive consumption of
wood with related overheating of the device.
SUMMER STOP
After cleaning the hearth, chimney and hood, totally eliminating the ash and other eventual residues, close all the doors of the hearth
and the relevant registers; in case you disconnect the appliance from the chimney you must close its openings in order to let work
others possible appliances connected to the same flue.
We suggest performing the cleaning operation of the flue at least once per year; verifying in the meantime the actual status of the rope
seals, which cannot ensure the good operation of the equipment if they are not in good condition and are not making a good seal! In
this case the seals must be replaced.
In presence of dampness in the room where the stove has been placed, we advise you to put absorbent salts into the hearth.
! If you want to keep for long the aesthetic look of the cooker it is important to protect its internal walls in row cast iron with neutral
Vaseline.
ENAMEL (IF PRESENT)
Producer has chosen enamel tiles, which are the result of high-quality artisan work. As they are completely carried out by hand, the
majolica may present crackles, speckles, and shadings. These characteristics certify their precious origin.
Enamel and majolica, due to their different coefficient of dilatation, produce microcrackles, which show their authentic feature.
! For the cleaning of the majolica we suggest you to use a soft and dry cloth; If you use a detergent or liquid, the latter might soak in
and highlight the crackles permanently.
! ATTENTION: before any possible application of the new varnish, do clean and remove all the traces from the surface which has to be
varnished.
ENAMELLED PRODUCTS (IF PRESENT)
For the cleaning of enamelled surfaces use soap water or not aggressive and not chemically abrasive detergents.
! IMPORTANT : After the cleaning do not let soapy water or any cleanser dry but remove them immediately. DO NOT use sandpaper or
steel wool
