5 CLEANING THE INSERT
Cleaning the insert is very important to ensure proper operation and to prevent: blackening of the glass, poor
combustion, deposits of ash and unburnt products in the brazier, reduced thermal efficiency.
The insert must operate only and exclusively with the fire door closed.
The fire door seals must be checked periodically to prevent any air from entering; the combustion chamber and
pellet duct work in a negative pressure and the fume exhaust in a positive pressure.
Routine cleaning is normally carried out by the customer following the instructions in the manual, whereas
extraordinary maintenance, at least once a year, must be carried out by the authorized Service Center.
- Cleaning operations for all parts must be carried out with the insert cold and
electrically disconnected;
- Dispose of cleaning waste in accordance with the current local regulations;
- Avoid the creation of smoke and unburnt products during lighting and/or normal
operation.
Given below are the control and/or maintenance operations for proper use and operation of the insert.

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.
