Maintenance Instructions

Maintenance and cleaning must only be performed when the EcoSmart™ Burner is OFF, COMPLETELY
EMPTY & DRY and at ROOM TEMPERATURE.
If service is required, there are two specific areas to check for cleaning. These are the EcoSmart™ Burner and
the Firebox or immediate surrounds in cases where a firebox has not been installed.
General surrounds are maintained as you would a standard piece of furniture by dusting and polishing the
surfaces on a regular basis during your general cleaning routine.
EcoSmart™ Burner
The surface of the burner will change colour on very hot spots.
In addition, over time a film of black residue will appear on the 2 vents of the burner, usually starting from the
MAX 5 Ltr [1 1 ⁄ Gal] line within the burner on the slider, and around the burning zone of the burner top.

Remove with care - the black residue is a carbon left over from the combustion. It stains.
1. When the fire is off and empty, use a vacuum cleaner for general cleaning on visible surface.
2. Brush/Scrape the black material gently from the vents and the slider towards the bottom inside of the
burner.
3. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove residue inside the burner, around the slider rails and around the top
opening of the burning zone.
4. To finish cleaning use a damp disposable cloth and wipe until no residue remains.
5. Never use detergent in your burner.
Cleaning should be conducted routinely. The frequency of cleaning will depend on your usage. It is
recommended that the unit be vacuumed after every 50 litres [13.20 Gal.] of fuel burnt or as soon as you
notice fine black deposits on or around the burner.
Black marks can be removed from the stone, solid surfaces or stainless steel with a mild abrasive washing
product such as JIF® or similar. It is recommended to test a small area first to ensure the cleaning product
chosen is appropriate and will not mark or damage the surface.
After extensive use, if your burner smells unusually strong when empty and cold, remove the burner from its
setting and simply rinse generously under running hot water for 15 min and allow it to dry thoroughly before
being placed back in its original setting. Do not use detergent.
Important:
All burner parts will age over the course of time through natural processes associated with use, heat and
flame.
Please also note that new stainless steel has an oil coating that will burn off during the first few uses. You will
notice an accumulation of carbon around the top opening of the burner zone and its vents. This will appear
quickly and is normal. You will need to perform your first maintenance after approximately 20 litres [5.28 Gal]
of Denatured Ethanol* burnt.
After this, the accumulation will be far slower and maintenance can then occur every 50 litres [13.20 Gal] of
Denatured Ethanol* burnt.
If anything abnormal appears, do not operate the unit. If the fire is running, turn it off immediately and contact
your distributor before using again.
EcoSmart™ Firebox
As the stainless steel is exposed to flame and heat for a long period of time, its colour will eventually change.
To clean:
1. Use a disposable damp cloth to wipe the surface that needs cleaning (go with the grain) using a mild
abrasive product such as JIF®. Rinse well with a wet cloth.
2. After cleaning do not light the fire until all surfaces are completely dry. You can enhance the shine by using
a stainless steel cleaner and polish. Spray it on a disposable cloth and wipe the surface until you achieve an
even shine.
Any stainless steel cleaner and polish leaves a residual film on surfaces. This film will burn off and appear
black when directly exposed to the flame, so be careful not to apply too much and rinse away thoroughly.
