Cleaning And Maintenance - Wamsler 101 70 Bedienungsanleitung

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
exceed the specified maximum fuel quantity, otherwise overheating may oc-
cur, 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 conse-
quence of the strong contamination of the flues. For cleaning, the baffle plate (Pic-
ture7) 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 thor-
oughly. 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 invisi-
ble film on the valuable surface of the Robax glass. This film helps to keep the
glass clean, and facilitates regular cleaning operations. ROBAX S for slightly con-
taminated surfaces – a commercially available glass surface cleaning agent – may
as well be used for the cleaning of the medium or strongly contaminated glass sur-
faces 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 deposits 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 complaints! To clean the soapstone from dirt and fat with water and soap, as
well as small scratches, use sand paper (grain size 240).
Warning: Under no circumstances you may use sponge, scouring, aggressive
or scratching cleaning agents! If the grate is blocked so that the equipment can-
not serve the intended function, the grate is to be removed for cleaning.
