in the fireplace or the cleaning hole of the chimney. The fire grate is to be cleaned
before every kindling to ensure the proper inflow of air for burning. The ashtray is to
be emptied regularly (Figure 4). Should the equipment be extremely hot, use the
gloves provided. Please, be careful not to dispose glowing materials into the waste
bin.
Ensure that the ashtray should be fully pushed into the equipment.
Warning! In order to keep the air clean and safeguard the fireplace, do not ex-
ceed the specified maximum fuel quantity, otherwise overheating may occur,
which potentially damage the equipment. Such damage is not covered with any
guarantee. Only a single layer of fuel is allowable to be prepared in the fireplace.
Try to reach lower heating performance only by decreasing the quantity of fuel,
and not by cutting the primary air supply.
1.5 Cleaning and maintenance
After the heating season, it is recommended to clean the fireplace and the flue gas
pipes carefully. Any dropping heating performance is almost always the consequence
of the strong contamination of the flues. For cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 7 No.2)
is to be pulled forward. This way, the flues can be cleaned from the inside or – after
removing the flue gas pipe – from above. After cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 7) is
be pushed back fully again.
Warning!
Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thoroughly.
If any repair or reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer in a timely
manner, and specify the model number and serial number of your equipment (as seen
on the model plate). External surfaces may be maintained only after the fireplace
cooled down, and following the first commissioning. Use cold water for cleaning, or
soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases, then wipe it dry. Before its first use,
clean the ROBAX inspection glass with a wet and clean cloth, and then put a few
drops of glass–ceramics cleaner onto both sides of the glass, and spread them with
the use of kitchen paper tissues. It provides an invisible film on the valuable surface of
the Robax glass. This film helps to keep the glass clean, and facilitates regular clean-
ing operations. ROBAX S for slightly contaminated surfaces – a commercially availa-
ble glass surface cleaning agent – may as well be used for the cleaning of the medium
or strongly contaminated glass surfaces of the fireplace. Towards this end, spray
small quantities of the agent to the cold surfaces, spread it, and wash it down with a
wet cloth, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. In case there are sticky fuel de-
posits on these surfaces, first scale simply them with a ceramic-plate scraper held in
flat angle, and then clean the surfaces as described above.
Cleaning of the ceramic surfaces dirt and grease are to be removed with soap and
water.
Cleaning of the soapstone: the soapstone is a natural stone, therefore minor colour
differences may occur; as it is normal, they may not serve as a basis for quality com-
plaints! To clean the soapstone from dirt and fat with water and soap, as well as small
scratches, use sand paper (grain size 240).
