13.1.CLEANING OF THE FLUE

A correct lighting, the burning of a proper fuel, the loading of the suggested quantity of fuel, the right
adjustments of the secondary air control, the sufficient draught of the chimney and the presence of air for
the combustion, are essential for the good operation of the appliance.
The appliance should be completely cleaned at least once a year or every time it is needed (in case of bad
working and low yield).The cleaning must be carried out exclusively with cold equipment.
This operation should be carried out by a chimney sweeper who can simultaneously perform an audit of
the flue (checking of possible deposits). During the cleaning, it is necessary to remove from the appliance
the ash drawer and the smokes pipes. It is possible to clean the space for the collection of smokes from
the hearth or through the smoke exhaust, by using a brush and a vacuum cleaner.
Once the cleaning has been completed, the same has to be positioned back in its seat.

13.2.CLEANING OF THE GLASS

Thanks to a specific entry of the secondary air the building of deposit on the glass of the door is slowed
down in a remarkable way. However the building of this deposit cannot be avoided with the use of solid
fuels such as wet wood, and this is not to be considered as a defect 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.
Do not use cloths, abrasive or chemically aggressive products by cleaning the hearth glass.
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 and for the cleaning of the glass.
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.

13.3.CLEANING OF THE HEARTH GRATE

The use of not suitable fuel, as for example wood with sand, prevents the correct sliding of the cast-iron
grate and can lead it to the complete blockage. In this case you should arrange for a removal of the dirty
sediments from the surfaces of the grate and its holder Picture 9.

13.4.CLEANING OF THE ASH DRAWER

All the appliances are equipped with a hearth grate and an ash drawer for the collection of the ashes
(Picture 10 pos. A) .It is suggested to empty periodically the ash drawer and to avoid it fills completely in
order not to overheat the grate. Moreover, we recommend leaving always 3-4 cm of ash in the hearth.
