you can always use this position, as the fan
switches on and off depending on the temperature.
Position 1: Manual fan start at speed 1 (standard).
Position 2: Manual fan start at speed 2 (maximum).
Speeds 1 and 2 are manual and if selected are
always activated until deactivated again (regardless
of whether the fire is on).
It is not possible to turn off the fan until the
temperature drops below 45ºC in the thermostat
area.
If you experience a prolonged power outage
during the period in which the appliance is in
operation, you must close the air intakes of your
stove (push the air regulator towards the appliance)
and let the fire go out naturally. Never put out the
fire with water!
3.6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Your appliance will need regular cleaning
and periodic maintenance to ensure the
best
performance
conditions.
Ash - If you use the appliance daily, you may need
to clean (leak) the ash drawer on a daily or possibly
weekly basis (depending on the number of daily
hours of use). Ashes should be removed before
starting a new fire, when the fire is completely out
and there are no embers in the ashtray. If there are
embers, or the ash is not yet completely cold, it
should be poured into a metal container and never
into a household waste bucket (high risk of fire!).
If you know that you will not be using the appliance
for a few days or weeks, you should completely
remove the ash from the bottom of the appliance
and the ash drawer, to better preserve your
equipment. After this cleaning, you can proceed to
apply a metal protection spray against oxidation and
corrosion, to be applied only to the internal metallic
parts and not to the ceramic ones.
Glass – Cleaning the glass can only be carried out
with the appliance turned off and completely cold.
The glass cleaning product should be applied to a
cloth and not directly on the glass, to avoid drips.
Do not apply the product to metal parts as this could
damage them or stain the paintwork. If the liquid
runs into the gutter that holds the glass, it will
accumulate on the sealing tape there. This
accumulation plus the fire temperatures, may stain
the glass serigraphy. The damage is irreversible
and is not covered by the warranty. Generally,
following the steps described for starting the fire and

and
safe
operating
using the recommended firewood will keep the
glass clean for a long time.
Chimney flue - The chimney flue must be cleaned
by qualified professionals annually, preferably
during the summer season. As mentioned, the best
time to carry out this maintenance is during the
summer for two reasons, the first is related to the
greater availability of technicians at this time of year
and the second related to the end of nesting period
of birds. Thus, if straw and other residues have
been deposited by the birds, during the chimney
cleaning, they will be removed.
To access the smoke duct through the interior of the
appliance, it will be necessary to remove first (1
the log retainer, second (2
that cover the sides of the combustion chamber,

then (3

the refractory deflector and finally, remove the two
metallic deflectors (4

At the end of the intervention, the parts must
be assembled in the reverse order of their
removal.
After a prolonged period without using your
appliance, and before starting it again, you should
check if there is no obstruction in the chimney.
