CLEANING OF THE GLASS

Thanks to a specific inlet of secondary air, the accumulation of dirty sediments on the glass-door is
reduced with efficacy. Nevertheless this can never be avoided by using solid fuels ( particularly wet wood )
and it has not to be understood as a defect of the appliance.
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.
IMPORTANT:
The cleaning of the sight glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold appliance to
avoid the explosion of the same.
For the cleaning, it is possible to use specific products or a wet newspaper paper ball passed in the
ash to rub the glass itself.
BREAK OF GLASSES:
Considering that the glasses are manufactured in glass-ceramic and resistant to heat shock up to
750 ° C, they are not subject to thermal shocks. The ir 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.

ash and other possible residuals, close all hearth doors and related registers.
